Walkthrough
Find Councilor Marek (The Grand Library at -855, 1155 •) and give him A Note to Marek
Councilor Marek pushes his glasses further up his nose. 'Hmm, what's this? A note from Lurek.' He grumbles as he slices open the seal on the letter and reads it silently. 'Glad I took the time to read that.'
You say, 'Uhh, Sir Marek? Is there something I can help you with?'
Councilor Marek says, 'What? Who are you?'
You say, 'I'm new here, but I want to help.'
Councilor Marek says, 'Great...yet another new worshipper
[sic]. Ok, look kid. If you want to show me you can be of use, just do what I say, and don't give me any lip. I haven't time for every starry-eyed youngster that hops in here. Now, it's real simple. So try not to mess it up. In the cave system in the Sundered Mountains, I need you to find me a book. The older of the Vulfwere are more likely to keep books. Bring it to me. Oh, and stay away from Cillan. If you really are going to be of use, I want you to help me, and not that old windbag.'

It was really easy. What else do you need done?
Councilor Marek says, 'Easy, kid. Don't get too excited. I just had this desk refinished. If you're still so eager to please, go to King's Pass. The undead there seem to have a fascination with books of their former lives, particularly journals. I have no idea why, but they carry them around everywhere they go. Either way, bring me four to show your continued devotion. And make it snappy. Cillan seems to have gotten some new recruit too. Can't have him showing me up.'

Councilor Marek says, 'I've been doing this longer than you've been alive. So no more lip or I'll send you packing so fast your head will be spinning next week."
You say 'I'm sorry. What else do you want?'
Councilor Marek says, 'That's better. Now, this time, I want you to go to Siren's Grotto. The Brughwar there have developed a rudimentary written language, though how they could keep anything dry there, I have no idea. Go find me four of their scribblings. Any one of them could potentially be there next Monrin Ital. Also, Cillan isn't giving up without a fight. Hurry up!'

If you finished Marek's Missions before Cillan's Courier Service
You say, 'Is this all going somewhere, or am I just an errand boy?'
Councilor Marek says, 'You ask too many questions. You'll have to wait a while, since I need to talk some stuff over with Jayla.'
If you finished Cillan's Courier Service before Marek's Missions
You say, 'Is this all going somewhere, or am I just an errand boy?'
Councilor Marek says, 'You ask too many questions. Look I know you're the one that has been helping Cillan. I warned you about him, and you went ahead and helped him anyways. Stupid kids these days. Look, stick with me and I'll get you moved up here quickly. Or you can take the risk of going with Cillan. Your choice. Either way, go to Elthannar's old estate and find me four of the odd runes that have begun showing up there. I'm sure that what remains of the royal family has been examining them, but some of the other denizens may have found some as well. No playing both sides on this one. Need to pick. Me or Cillan.'
