Dialogue

Initial dialogue

Buuran

"[Difficulty: Master] Long ago, the Staff of the Mists and the Scepter of Orr were given to the great nations of the world as protection. Predictably, those who wielded their power were corrupted. Terrible horrors were unleashed upon the lands once guarded by their benevolent power. The gods themselves were forced to intervene. They struck down both rulers, sealed the scepters within their tombs, and guarded them with powerful magic. With the Staff of the Mists released into the world again, I fear that the forces of evil will not stop until they possess it. Our only choice is to destroy the scepter. You must travel to the Hallowed Point and destroy the scepter. Only then will it be out of reach of the Margonites."

 Accept: "I do not trust anyone else with this deed. I will do it."

 Decline: "Destroy an item of such power? How about I keep it instead?"

 Ask: "You must take the staff to the Hallowed Point and destroy it. Only then will it be safe from the Margonites."

Reward dialogue

Buuran

"I feel a great burden has been lifted from the world. You were successful? Ah...yes. The Margonites still roam, but at least they will be prevented from using the Staff of the Mists to do their evil. Perhaps now, I can rest...."

Notes

• Be sure to accept the quest before taking the Staff of the Mists to the Hallowed Point, since clicking on the Hallowed Point will make the staff disappear - requiring you to rezone to start the quest again.
• Combines well with Forgotten Retribution, since there are plenty of Margonites along the quest route.

Trivia

• This quest and most of its dialogue are a reference to The Lord of the Rings, notably the Council of Elrond that leads to the forming of the Fellowship of the Ring.
