The Dead Tongue Speaks

Part of the The Lost Cronicles quest line. Previous Quest: A Language Forgotten

Quest Giver: Tren

Initial Dialog: Tren: Scholar Alaxt was right to send you to me. As far as I know, I am the only person in the world who is fluent in Sisielle. I recognize this text because I am the owner of it, and ultimately the one who spread rumors of its disappearance hoping to score a lead. The secrecy is directly due to the sensitivity of the matter - can't be too careful these days, you know. Tren: The text is called The Chronicles of Dingusness, a tome written originally by The Ancients of Millennia in their native tongue, Sisielle. Long story short, it contains the secrets of taming and training Dingusaurs. Without it, a grisly death is indeed guaranteed. It's also imbued with a sort of magic energy that assists in the binding of souls between the Dingusaur and its trainer. It's one-of-a-kind, and can't be replaced. It was stolen from me about a week ago.

Dialog options:

• (Player): How did you manage to lose something so important?
  • Tren: That's awfully forward of you. Help me find it and maybe I'll tell you. Don't be rude, now.
• (Player): How did you not find this page? It was about 100 meters from here, dude.
  • Tren: Wind is a thing, you know. Are you going to help me or not?
• (Player): What can I do to help?
  • Tren: Head north along the road to Dreadfang Crater and see what you can find. I'm willing to bet the local Trolls there have got some information on its whereabouts. Get this information from them, whatever the cost.

Objective 1: Head North Flo'rina and defeat Trolls to gather more information. Bring their health low, but don't kill them. Dead trolls can't talk!

After a few defeats, one Troll begs to not be killed and offers to divulge information in exchange for mercy. This completes Objective 1.

Objective 1 Completion Dialogue: Troll: Alright, enough! Please don't kill me, I'll tell you what you want to know.

(Player): Alright, speak. Make it quick before I change my mind.

Troll: Ok, ok! Zen'ya, the witch doctor in our village, wanted it to complete a blood ritual that will grant her eternal life. She promised us eternal life in exchange, if we got the book for her. So I did while the stupid ranger was drunk and passed out one night. I handed it to her and immediately her attitude changed - scary stuff!

Troll: She started killin' the other villagers around her. Neighbors, friends, her own family! Started yelling about sacrifices and whatnot. I was lucky to get out alive.

(Player): Where is she now?

Troll: At the altar in the middle of Dreadfang Crater. If you're going after her, beware, I tell you. She's gone mad! Now please, let me go!

Dialog choice:

• (Player): Very well.
  • Troll runs away.
• (Player): I don't think so.
  • Player kills troll.

Quest Objective 1 complete.

Objective 2: Go back to Tren and update him of your findings.

Talking to Tren completed Objective 2.

Objective 2 complete dialogue:

Tren: Brutal, just brutal. Even for Trolls. It sounds like we need to take this one out - not only to get the tome back, but to stop whatever nefarious schemes are already underway there.

The next quest, The Chronicles of Dingusness (Quest) may now be picked up.
