Find Goplen (The Murk  at -1044, -1164  • Gruplok City) .

You say, 'Hail, Goplen'

Goplen tells you, 'Ah, hello, and welcome. Our mutual friend tells me you are interested in uncovering that which even our, erm, hosts have been unable to recover.'

You say, 'That's right.. I need to know all there is about my craft.'

Goplen tells you, 'Well, so must we all, I suppose. They tried, you know, our reptilian friends. We don't hear much here in the swamp, through our lives, but even we Gruplok could feel the magical tremors all those years ago. It appears in several journals of the times. Well, appeared, I guess, past tense, since most of our records have gone the way of ash and flame. This miniature cataclysm came about long after they stole our important texts by legerdemain.. oh for the days where we were merely swindled out of our heritage! Either way, much later, that same group of Iksar went hunting for deeper secrets and what they found instead must have been quite horrific. The sights and sounds that day were well-described and rather violently intriguing.'

'Where is this information hidden?'

Goplen tells you, 'If you asked the Gruplok from decades before, they wouldn't know because they were not that concerned with what other societies did. If you ask a Gruplook today, they won't know because they are no longer allowed to know what goes on outside the swamp. I'm sorry, but that information does not exist. Still, where you find the graves of this foolhardy team of Iksar is no doubt where you will find whatever remains of our lost Gruplok lore.'

You say, 'I will find this place.'

Goplen tells you, 'When you do, please come and tell me where it is and what you find. I'm as curious as anyone about the goings-on all those years ago. No Gruplok will ever again make the mistake of being so uninformed of the outside world.. I will hear all that you tell me.'

Go to the library in Kaesora, location 115, -392, -100.

You recieve Excavation Jornal

Return to Goplen (The Murk  at -1044, -1164  • Gruplok City)

You say, 'Hail, Goplen'

Goplen tells you, 'So, have you found where the Iksar were buried along with our texts? If so, do not keep me in the dark! Let me know where!'

You say, 'Kaesora'

Goplen tells you, 'Kaesora... I do not recognize the name. Still, you sound confident. What experience did you have there that made you decide that this must be the place?'

You say, 'Well, inside we found...'

Goplen tells you, 'Ah, say no more. I am convinced! This is quite a find, quite a find. Whoever maintained control of this team would surely be most likely to possess fragments of information even in death! And I think I know a way we can trick that particular spirit into handing that information over.'

You say, 'What's the plan?'

You receive Inscribed Amulet from Goplen.

Goplen tells you, 'Take this, Daemong, and wear it. It is one of the remaining relics of the ancient Gruploks. I think it most likely that the spirit you want in Kaesora is bound to that place by his quest for information. That hunger cost him his mortal existence, but I'm sure death has done nothing to curb his appetite. Seek him out, and he will come for that necklace, believe me. He will want to take it, but instead you must take from him.. by force!'

You say, 'I guess it's off to Kaesora, then.'

Goplen tells you, 'Good luck to you!'

Return to Kaesora. Equip Inscribed Amulet. Kill Prime Runesmith Rothgha at the following locations:

• 179.89, -232.42, -108.22
• -67.31, -55.26, -10.69
• 90.68, -441.45, -74.22
• 134.76, 373.84, -172.19
• -92.13, 472.44, -300.12

On kills 1-4:

Prime Runesmith Rothgha tells you, 'I pass them on to you.. Daemong... the secrets.. of the ancients...'

Ancient knowledge flows in to your mind. You feel enlightened!

On last Kill:

Prime Runesmith Rothgha tells you, 'I pass them on to you.. Daemong... the secrets.. of the ancients...'

The final piece of ancient knowledge flows in to your mind. You are a master of ancient Gruplok lore!

Return to Goplen (The Murk  at -1044, -1164  • Gruplok City)

You say, 'Hail, Goplen'

Goplen tells you, 'I can already tell: you've found the secrets of the ancient Gruploks. You carry yourself more like a Gruplok now, but proudly! If there are more mysteries about the ancient Gruploks, you might consult Koliang. She keeps what we have safe.'

You have completed a quest. [Ancient Gruploks]
