Quest: Shield of Hatred [Lvl 46] [Solo]

This quest is initiated by completing the previous quest in the series: Shield of Darkness. Speak with Teryn Valso to begin.

Teryn Valso looks at the shield. "It has been a long time since I've seen something like this. The shield has become a true symbol of evil. You have but one task left."

"Travel to the ruins of Old Targonor. There you will find a great beast named Garzonag. This is the beast which guards the Cartheon legions from outsiders. Slay him, and use his essence on the shield."

Quest Objectives:

-Find and slay Garzonag
-Apply Garzonag's essence (Essence of Hatred)to the shield of Darkness

Garzonag can be found inside of the Ruins of Old Targonor. The easiest way I found to get to him would be by starting at the entrance to the ruins. Go straight in and hang a right at the first cross section. You can then proceed down that path if grouped or you can sneak along it's right edge if alone until the next cross section, at which you should hang a left. Garzonag will be at the end of that road. He wanders, so it shouldn't take much to snag him alone. Keep in mind that if grouped, you should set the loot to free for all to prevent the item being auto distributed to someone who doesn't need it as it is un-tradeable. Eliminate him and apply the Essence of Hatred to the shield(right click it). -Kazander

As you apply the essence to the face of the shield, it begins to stretch into a hardened black mass. The blackness that clasps the shield also grasps at your soul.

Reward: Shield of Hatred

The game keeps these quests as soloable yet there are many 4 dots which must fall before it's over and killing 100 brotherhood would suggest that a group would be far more pleasant. While it is definitely soloable at this time by some players, I don't think it would be very fun to do so. -Kazander

Update: (It should be noted that if you use the shield's ability and travel into the center of the large building in Haven's Edge, Lord Talfyn himself will appear before you. He uses an ability called the presence of Talfyn to make you kneel, and tells you go to his manor to face him directly. If you travel there, there is only a mirrior which states coming soon.)

Quest: Shield of Darkness

This quest is initiated by speaking to the shield while equipped after completion of the previous quest in the series: Shield of Shadow.

The words glow black on the shield, "Take this shield to the forge of darkness. The great forge inside Graystone. cast the shield into the fire at this place."

Quest Objective:

-Travel to the Forge in Graystone.
-Temper the Shield of Shadow by trhowing it into the forge.

You will more than liekly need a group to get down to teh forge. Soloing is possible for some, but it is painfully slow. Once you see the giant forge with fire pouring into it, stand in the center, and equipe the shield, right click it and viola, recieve the Shield of Darkness! Travel back to Haven's Edge and speak Teryn Valso again. -Kazander

Quest Objective:

-Speak with Teryn Valso

Teryn Valso looks at the shield. "Amazing" he marvels.

Teryn Valso says, "I doubted you'd ever be able to complete the required tasks."

This opens the next quest in the series: Shield of Hatred

Quest: Shield of Shadow

This quest is intiated by completing the quest: The Path.

Teryn Valso grins at you. " You think you're as unholy as the legions of Cartheon. That is an amusing thought. The Divine Brotherhood fights against the Cartheon Empire, yet they are scored by evil themselves."

"Use this shield to slay members of the Divine Botherhood. With each kill, it will become more powerful. I expect your next task will come from the shield itself."

Quest Objectives:

-Slay 100 members of the Divine Brotherhood

Head to the fortress of Divine Grasp and slay 100 members of the brotherhood. This will be a lengthy task and you will likely needs some extra muscle. -Kazander

"I can feel it... the power that I once held..."

You notice words begin to appear on the shield. Perhaps you should try to obtain your next task from the shield itself.

Completion of this quest opens the next quest in the series: Shield of Darkness.

Quest: The Path [Lvl 43] [Solo]

This quest is a continuation from An Unmarked Shield.

Teryn Valso looks confused, "Who are you?"

Teryn Valso inspects you. "Have we... met before?"

Teryn Valso peers at you with black eyes. "I do not know who you are, but I know that you are in possession of a shield of great power. It appears to have been unused for many years."

"Go to the fountain here in Haven's edge and speak the words, "I am evil incarnate" to awaken the shield."

Quest Objective:

-Travel to the fountain in Havens Edge
-Speak the words " I am evil incarnate" at the fountain to choose your path.
-Return to Teryn Valso

After speaking with Teryn, take a short trek to the ruined fountain of Havens Edge and speak the words in /say "I am evil incarnate". Return to Teryn for the next episode. -Kazander

"I see that you have chosen. A long road, full of trials and tribulations, stands before you."

"If you wish to empower the shield, there is much more that needs to be done."

Quest: A Deadly Leader [Lvl 43] [Group]

This quest is initiated by speaking with Karsan Farrow in the chunk of Plains of Anguish(-29, 27)located at (-71346, 76382, 37764), in Havens Edge.


Karsan Farrow says, "This is really too much to ask, but if you really want to slow down those horrid Cartheon, you'll need to slay their Captain. I've heard from the few victims who have survived his brutality that his name is "Dreavers", but I know not where or how to find him. It's up to you, Kazander, but if you slay him, you will be handsomely rewarded.

Quest Objective:

-Find and destroy Captain Dreavers
-Obtain:
--Torso of Captain Dreavers
--Head of Captain Dreavers
--Leg of Captain Dreavers
--Arm of Captain Dreavers
-Return to Karsan Farrow

Finding Captain Dreavers will be tedious. You will need the arm, leg, torso, and head of the good captain, which can be found in the Cartheon Encampment carried by Cartheon Wizards and Soldiers. Not sure why they are carrying him around in pieces but hey, it's a job right? Once you have the pieces, look for a small grave alongside a huge rock on the outside of the Cartheon encampment and summon him. You may want to bring a friend or two. As a side note, only one person needs all the pieces if done in a group. Everyone else will get the update just for having killed him. -Kazander

Karsan Farrow gasps, "You've done it. You've slain the Cartheon captain!"

Karsan Farrow says, "We are lucky to have heroes like you, Kazander. Please accept this coin as payment for your services.

Reward: 24s
