Finding Ebonchill

Investigate the forgotten stacks in the Hall of the Guardian for clues to Ebonchill's last known master, Arrexis.

• Find information on Arrexis (3)
• Speak with Meryl

Ebonchill bears a lineage of powerful wielders dating back to its maker, Alodi. He passed it on to his favorite apprentice and so on until... the archmage Arrexis, I believe.

Arrexis disappeared sometime around the First War. I know nothing of his fate, but the answer may well be somewhere in this library.

Start by looking around here. Whatever you find should lead us to Ebonchill.

Have we found what we need yet?

From the texts you found, it is clear that Ebonchill is in the hands of Balaadur. There is no way he would not claim such a powerful staff.

That is a problem, but not an impossible one. All we need to do is get access to Balaadur.

There are five tomes scattered around the Hall: The Hunter of Mages, Old Journal, Old Scrap of Paper, The Manastorm Decision and the Forgotten Missive. The first three are the ones required for the quest.

During the quest, Meryl Felstorm has the following gossip text:

• Any information you can find on Arrexis, how he died, and the whereabouts of Ebonchill would be greatly appreciated.
• Arrexis was a powerful and well known member of the Order of Tirisfal around the First War. I barely spoke to him, busy with my own goals. I knew he wielded Ebonchill. Then, mysteriously, I returned from a long journey and he was gone. His apprentices were gone and any materials and belongings related to him. The other members of the order were very tightlipped, only saying that something horrible had befallen him.

• Ebonchill was nowhere to be found.

After interacting with the three tomes, the following dialogue option becomes available: This will trigger the following conversation.
