Good Intentions

Stop Alia Sunsoar and destroy the artifact Valthrux.

• Alia stopped
• Valthrux Destroyed

I may know where the artifact is. Alia was whispering frantically when you brought all the shards back.

She kept saying something about a "cave" and how the spiders seemed attracted to it.

There's no cave in the area in front of us... which leads me to believe there might be one deeper in the ruins.

We'll stay here and keep your escape path open,. Please save Alia and destroy this cursed artifact.

You will also receive:

• 9,800 XP
• +150 reputation with Iskaara Tuskarr
• +150 reputation with Kirin Tor

Let's hope this works...

To'tik was right. This place is cursed.

We'll let the Kirin Tor know what happened here,. Thank you for your help.

This is a lesson I won't soon forget...

Find the entrance to the Forgotten Cavern at. Alia is at the bottom with Valthrux. Attack her:

Interact with the book:

• <Name>. I know your name from Alia. She thought so many awful things about you. Were you aware of that?

• I know things seemed a bit hostile before, but there's no need for you to destroy me.

• Some considered me a "cursed" artifact, but my power changes depending on who wields me!

• Surely you would do better than all those before you. I can see it as clear as the pages in my book!

As the tome explodes, the ghosts of Freed Souls, The Chronicler, and Alia appear:

• say
• say
• The ghosts disappear.

• Upon completion
• say

• The pair leave the place.

Completing the quests also awards the "Lost Ruins" criterion of Sojourner of Azure Span.
