You say, 'Hail, Archaeologist Sarla'

Archaeologist Sarla says, 'Hail, and well met, <Player Name>. I've been reading up on this legend of The Four's Chosen. Have you heard of such a thing?'

You say, 'Yes, I have!'

Archaeologist Sarla says, 'Ha! Good joke. Anyhow, these ancient texts we've discovered indicate that long ago, Tarhyl, Sihala, Shojar, and Shiritri all chose a champion. These champions were designated to protect tablets that were used to lock a secret from the rest of the world.'

You say, 'No, I haven't.'

Archaeologist Sarla says, 'Well let me tell you, this story is fascinating. These ancient texts we've discovered indicate that long ago, Tarhyl, Sihala, Shojar, and Shiritri all chose a champion. These champions were designated to protect tablets that were used to lock a secret from the rest of the world.'

You say, 'Go on.'

Archaeologist Sarla says, 'It seems that the chosen's tablets are 'keys' that locked this secret away. The chosen took these tablets and hid them across the world, blessing the creatures of the realm to guard the tablets with their life. The strange thing about the text is that whoever wrote this kept the secret itself confidential.'

You say, 'Surely this secret could possibly be something advantageous to the common adventure such as myself. Is there any truth to this story?'

Archaeologist Sarla says, 'Here's the thing, <Player Name>. My colleague has also uncovered an incision in the Sundered Mountains that somewhat fits the description of the location!'

You say, 'We must go there immediately then, if there is truth to these tales, there could be history trapped down there, lost to ages!'

Archaeologist Sarla says, 'I must stay with the books and keep translating in case I find something else important. My colleague, Azura, will meet you there. Head to the Sundered Mountains, the site is located just over the tallest mountain.'

Journal Text: Sarla, one of Jayla's followers, has informed me of an interesting tale regarding The Four, and that the latest excavation in Sundered Mountains may be linked to the mysterious story.

Find Archaeologist Azura (Sundered Mountains  at 2458, -330, 994  • North of the Wolfslayer Clan fort. Just North West from the zone in to The Rust above ground.)

You say, 'Hail, Archaeologist Azura'

Archaeologist Azura says, 'Ahh, I was expecting you. You know the story from Sarla, I assume? This is where she was talking about.' Next to Asura is an engraving in the dug-up stone.'

You say, 'Good to meet you. What is the situation here?'

Archaeologist Azura says, 'Cutting to the chase, we have here 4 indents in this bit of structure, each with a different insignia.'

You see her point at the rocks in front of you.

Archaeologist Azura says, 'The odd thing about this is that it looks as if the engraving was only etched years ago, but the shapes are precisely what the tomes say.'

You say, 'Well this seems simple, we'll find the missing pieces and put them back in the stone and see what happens!'

Archaeologist Azura says, 'I suppose so, something just doesn't seem right about all this.'

You say, 'If something weird happens, my friends and I will be prepared to help in whatever way.'

Archaeologist Azura says, 'Well, I suppose... If you can find these tablets, I can consider you and your friends strong enough to handle whatever is necessary. Remember, The Chosen put the tablets around the Old World to their choosing. Find the tablets and bring them back here and we'll try to solve this puzzle.'

Journal Text: I've been tasked to find the tablets that seal a secret lost to time! But where to find them... Azura mentioned they were placed around nature in the Old World, but what could that mean?

Gather and give Archaeologist Azura:

• Dwellen Tablet
• Hadal Tablet
• Scua Tablet
• Vulcan Tablet

Archaeologist Azura says, 'I... I don't believe it. you were able to retrieve them! What did you go through for all this?'

You gain 1,000,000 experience!!

Your journal has been updated. [Secrets of the Four]

 

Journal Text: I delivered the tablets to Azura! Time to see what happens when placing these in the seal.

You say, '*Explain your adventures finding the tablets*'

Azura looks at you with disbelief in her eyes.

Archaeologist Azura says, 'A set of oversized animals protected the tablets? With that much power... interesting. The Chosen must've imbued them with great power if you and your friends had to go through all that trouble.'

You say, 'I think this is the real deal for all the trouble it was. Lets place the tablets in the seal!'

Archaeologist Azura says, 'Certainly! This is so exciting, this has been my life's work!'

The rune begins to glow brighter...

Suddenly, the rune fades! A massive quake occurs as the tablets are sucked underground, disappearing before your eyes.

Azura stares at where the tablets just were, blinking her eyes in confusion and disbelief.

Archaeologist Azura says, 'Well... I don't think that was supposed to happen.'

You say, 'Hail, Archaeologist Azura'

Just as Azura begins to speak, a dark red mist forms underneath the broken seal of the tablets.

A whisper is heard from the cracks, 'Thank you, fools. You have made my work much easier for me...

Archaeologist Azura says, 'I think not!'

Azura conjures a strong energy that blasts the crack open wider. A large cavern appears underneath. A small, black stone falls from where the tablets sat, and you see Azura take it.

Archaeologist Azura says, '...well this got much more interesting.'

You say, 'Hail, Archaeologist Azura'

Azura sees your concern for her outburst and apologizes.

Archaeologist Azura says, 'It looks that way. If we're going to find out anything about those tablets, or who or what ever took them, we will have to travel down the tunnel. Are you up for that?'

You say, 'It seems that way. Let me prepare myself and a crew of friends to assist.'

Archaeologist Azura says, 'So be it. I will attend here until you return. Please make haste as I don't know what may come out of here...'

Journal Text: Well... we placed the tablets in the seal, but now the seal took the tablets away and Azura blasted a tunnel leading to where they went. I must prepare myself with a raid if I want to continue down this path.

You say, 'Hail, Archaeologist Azura'

Archaeologist Azura says, 'Are you prepared to venture down the tunnel? Remember, we could use all the help we could get.'

Note: You must be in a raid before entering the caverns. If you try to tell her you are prepared when not in a raid she will respond: Archaeologist Azura says, 'Now hold on... where is your raid?!'

You say, 'We are prepared, Azura.'

Archaeologist Azura says, 'Very well. Everyone gather around me, I will illuminate the path. Speak with me when we get farther down.'

Find Archaeologist Azura (Sundered Caverns at -157, 305, -95  • Right in front of you when you zone in.) .

You say, 'Hail, Archaeologist Azura'

Archaeologist Azura says, 'This is not good. Whatever is in here is strong, and certainly is expecting company. Be wary, <Player Name>. And your friends, too. I will catch up to you shortly.'

Clear your way up the caverns and defeat Uthic the Destroyer‎.

an unseen voice says, 'No matter. My work is almost done, and I've gained enough power to wipe you out easily. Come, mortals, and face me again!'

Archaeologist Azura says, 'Friends! Come speak with me, I'm just around the corner.'

Find Archaeologist Azura (Sundered Caverns at -157, 305, -95  • Right in front of you when you zone in.) at the back of the cavern.

Archaeologist Azura says, 'This is it, <Player Name>. The demon that took our tablets is just past here. Keep your wits about you, I can feel a strong magic flow over there.'

You say, 'Hail, Nalansar'

Nalansar says, 'Welcome, interlopers. It's been too long. I'm so glad you could witness the destruction of your world.' Nalansar gestures towards the glowing portal ahead of him. 'Here lies the secret that the Four have kept from you mortals. An infinite amount of power comes from here, more than you can handle. Do you wish to stop me from completing my previous plan of dooming the world to darkness?'

You say, 'We've defeated you before, what makes now so different?'

Nalansar says, You are most welcome to find out...'

A loud, booming voice echoes in the caverns, 'HALT!'

The Chosen shout, 'This is the end of your schemes, demon! Worry not, mortals, we are here to aid you!'

Nalansar says, 'I don't think you understand your place, mortals and chosen of the Four.'

Nalansar's demonic body begins to warp.

Nalansar says, 'I have already siphoned off the Soul Pool, your lives will be forfeit. And now...'

Nalansar shouts in a warped voice, 'Let's test this god-like power.'

Defeat Nalansar, Agent of Chaos.

Nalansar disappears in a cloud of darkness.

Archaeologist Azura says, 'You've done it! You defeated that evil creep! Quickly, I'll need your help with this portal.'

You say, 'Hail, Archaeologist Azura'

Archaeologist Azura says, 'We need to disable this portal, and quickly. The energy coming from it is too chaotic. Maybe...'

You say, 'Maybe...?'

Archaeologist Azura says, 'The stone! Here, take the stone, and use it on the portal! This stone has an unusual weight to it, something about it's properties may be able to work. It *did* come from the tablets.'

You receive A black stone.

Give A black stone to The Soul Pool Portal.

The stone takes in the radiation of the portal, the energy from it calms.

You say, 'Friends, break down this portal while it's not active!'

Journal Text: Turns out the tablets were taken from us by Nalansar. I disabled his portal with the black stone that was left behind from the tablets, and now I'm off to show Sarla the stone and report back.

Return to The Grand Library and find Archaeologist Sarla (The Grand Athenaeum  at -821, 260, 4  • In the back of the archaeologist wing. Go South from zone in and then head left, East, at the end of the T.) .

You say, 'Hail, Archaeologist Sarla'

Archaeologist Sarla says, 'How goes it, <Player Name>?'

You say, 'You will not believe what has been happening since I left...'

You explain all the events that occurred with Azura.

Archaeologist Sarla says, 'Oh my. Large animals, the Gods, Nalansar... wow.'

You say, 'Not only that, but that portal I mentioned - this is the stone we used to defuse it.'

Archaeologist Sarla says, 'Ah yes, may I see the stone, <Player Name>?'

Give A black stone to Archaeologist Sarla.

Archaeologist Sarla says, 'Strange, it seems that there's a small crack on the side.'

Sarla begins to prod the crack in the stone. A faint, purple light emerges from it.

Sarla drops the stone suddenly; the light has completely enveloped it.

Archaeologist Sarla says, 'What the... what just happened? Did you see that?!'

You say, 'Hail, Archaeologist Sarla'

Archaeologist Sarla says, 'I've certainly never seen anything like this. I'm sorry for breaking your world-saving rock.'

You receive Soulstone of the Four.

You have completed a quest. [Secrets of the Four].
