Summary[]
This is the fifth quest line for Gates of Discord progression. The purpose of this guide is to walkthrough the quest in detail. If you want a no frills guide then see this post on the forums.
Guide[]
To start the quest go to Kod'taz and hail Kevren Nalavat (#zone kodtaz -1038 1042 -417).
Talk to Kevren[]
You say, 'Hail, Kevren Nalavat'
Kevren Nalavat says, 'Welcome back, <player>. I must congratulate you on your recent completion of all three trials. I must admit that I was unsure of your ability to do as well as you did. Now that you have finished, you have the choice of taking on some [other tasks]. If you'd like, we have a chance now to talk [more]. You're also more than welcome to attempt the trials again. If so, just let me know you're [ready to test] again and we'll proceed down that path. What'll it be, <player>?'
Kevren Nalavat says, 'The problem is that this information reveals a most disturbing plot by the Muramites to summon a creature into this realm. They appear to be experts in teleportation. The parchment you returned to me described the use of Temple of the Damned to gather instruments of power that will allow the beast to coalesce in our world. It doesn't go into what those instruments are or when the summoning will take place, so you must [discover their plans].'
Kevren Nalavat says, 'If you want to see what you've completed at any time, just ask me for a [progress update]! You're also more than welcome to attempt the trials again if you finished all 4. If so, just let me know you're [ready to test] again and we'll proceed down that path.'
You say, 'discover their plans'
Kevren Nalavat says, 'You must go into the Temple of the Damned. It is the temple directly behind me with the fog looming around it. Explore the temple and search for the instruments of power that the Legion of Mata Muram priests are collecting. Once you have the relics in hand, return them to me so I can study them further. Good luck to you, <player>.'
Finished! - You've been commissioned to investigate the Temple of the Damned!
Collect Glyph's of the Damned[]
Go to the temple behind Kevren and to the room indicated on the map below.
Open the pile of bones (or attack them) in the room and mobs will start to spawn. Kill all of them, including four guardians. Each guardian will drop several Glyph of the Damned. Loot one glyph from each guardian. They are unique to each guardian, so you can't just loot 4 from a single guardian.
Go back to Kevren Nalavat (#zone kodtaz -1038 1042 -417). Give him the four glyphs in a single trade. He will return all of them.
Kevren Nalavat examines the strange glyphs. 'These glyphs are faded. I won't be able to decipher them until they've been cleaned up. You'll need to go back to the Martyrs Passage and recover some dust from the grounds nearby. Once you've gotten a pile of dust, you'll need to speak with Tublik Narwethar who is south of the Martyrs Passage. He has a stone tablet that can add some clarity to the glyphs with the help of that dust. Hurry along, <player>, this information is important!'
Finished! - You've recovered important glyphs from the Temple of the Damned!
Talk to Tublik[]
Go to Tublik Narwethar (#zone kodtaz 1292 -2013 -348).
Give him any one of the four glyphs. He will return the glyph and give you a Stone Tablet.
Tublik Narwethar says, 'So, you really are helping Kevren with this. My apologies for being so blunt with the requirements, but you never can be too careful with things like this. Here's a stone tablet for your troubles. You're going to need to use as many piles of dust as you have glyphs, then combine the dust and the four glyphs together with the stone tablet to translate them. These glyphs can be tricky, so good luck.'
Collect Piles of Dust[]
You now need 4 Piles of Dust. If you followed the previous guide then you may already have them. If not, go to (#zone kodtaz 1012 -1380 -426) and collect the 4 piles from the bone piles in the small buildings.
Combine the 4 Piles of Dust and the 4 Glyph of the Damned in the Stone Tablet and you will receive a Translated Glyph of the Damned.
You have fashioned the items together to create something new: Translated Glyph Of The Damned.
You have learned the recipe Translated Glyph Of The Damned!
Finish[]
Go back to Kevren Nalavat (#zone kodtaz -1038 1042 -417). Give him the Translated Glyph of the Damned. He will return it to you.
Kevren Nalavat copies down the intricate patterns from the glyph. 'Very interesting, but very dangerous. I've gone over the glyphs and they suggest there is great danger in the summoning of some kind of ferocious beast. I need to study the markings further, but since I've transcribed them already, you can keep the glyph for your own use. Nicely done, <player>.'
Finished! - You've successfully translated the glyphs you found in the Temple of the Damned!
