Shriek of Ghosts

Behold... countless ghosts encircle the Tower of Insolence! Just listen to their horrible screams! Do you feel their incredible rage?

The sword of a devil shall pierce the heart of an angel, and the bright red blood of the last emperor will run through the streets! Dawn and dusk will become as one, and the heavens and earth will tremble! This is how Pa'agrio describes the beginning of endless winter...

The arrogant humans are hastening their grisly fate! Unless the wrathful souls of the dead can be appeased, a terrible apocalypse will surely destroy this land forever!

Take heed, young warrior! When you've developed your skills to the point that you can brave the tower, come and see me.

(This quest may only be undertaken by a character of level 59 and above.)

Behold... countless ghosts encircle the Tower of Insolence! Just listen to their horrible screams! Do you feel their incredible rage?

The sword of a devil shall pierce the heart of an angel, and the bright red blood of the last emperor will run through the streets! Dawn and dusk will become as one, and the heavens and earth will tremble! This is how Pa'agrio describes the beginning of endless winter...

The arrogant humans are hastening their grisly fate! Unless the wrathful souls of the dead can be appeased, a terrible apocalypse will surely destroy this land forever!

I beg of you! Will you take the risk of the tower and help us?

"I will brave the tower."

Humans so easily ignore the fact that the Tower of Insolence is like a gigantic tomb, erected at the expense of countless lives! To conceal the secret of the tower, the despot Baium executed thousands of slaves and buried them there. Their vengeful spirits haunt the tower to this day.

Hurry to the Tower of Insolence. There you will find the undead warriors who serve the Devil's Overlord. You must kill Hallate's warriors, Hallate's knights and Hallate's commanders. Don't give an inch! Recover the Ancient Ash Urns! Bring back the ashes and I will perform the ritual of fire that will put the undead warriors to rest. If your work is deemed worthy in my eyes, I will bestow upon you a prize. Bring me 100 or more ash urns at once and you will receive an even greater prize!

Congratulations on your safe return, young soldier! Word has come that the tower has become a chaotic entanglement of angels and demons. Have you vanquished Hallate's warriors, Hallate's knights and Hallate's commanders and recovered the Ancient Ash Urns?

Hand over the Ancient Ash Urns. Settle the account later. "I quit."

Congratulations on your safe return, young soldier! Word has come that the tower has become a chaotic entanglement of angels and demons. I trust that you have recovered many of the Ancient Ash Urns from Hallate's warriors, knights and commanders!

The Ancient Porcelain you brought doesn't contain any remains. It was only used for decoration! It's no good to me, you can keep it for yourself! Either sell it at a store or take it to antique dealer Patrin! He is at the general store in Oren Castle Town.

Hand over the Ancient Ash Urns. Settle the account later. "I want to quit."

How rude! You come here empty-handed and have the gall to demand a prize? Hurry to the Tower of Insolence and find the Ancient Ash Urns! The souls of the undead warriors cry out for rest! Don't waste any more time!

These are remains of the dead, trampled by a despot... I can feel their bitterness, even after one thousand years!

Listen to me, young soldier! I, Reva, will grant you a prize for your hard work! Take it!

Continue the mission. Quit the mission.

You have brought over 100 ash urns at once! What a magnificent accomplishment! As I promised, I will grant you a special prize! Take it!

Continue the mission. Quit the mission.

Failure in this mission would prove catastrophic to us! Don't underestimate its importance! This is your duty! Do it!

Would you ignore the desperate cries of the dead? If you are so callous, I won't stop you! You must be aware that the failure of this mission will bring a terrible and irreversible disaster upon us. But if you've made up your mind, so be it! Your help is appreciated. Tejakar Oroka!

It has come to my attention that the Orc seer Reva of Aden Castle Town is collecting Ancient Ash Urns. I asked him to give them to me so that I could sell them for a handsome price to antique collectors. He refused my offer, insisting that he needed them for a ritual! He promised me that if he finds an urn that does not contain any remains he would send it to me. Have you brought me such an item?

"Tell me about the appraisal." "Please appraise the urn."

An appraisal determines the true value of an item! To the untrained eye, an antique piece like this one may seem rather ordinary. But to the experienced eye of an expert like myself, each subtle mark and worn surface tells a story. The materials and techniques used to create it become clear to me.

If the porcelain you bring me turns out to be a famous or a high grade porcelain, it will fetch a very high price at the store.

If the appraisal shows that the porcelain is low grade or lowest grade, it becomes practically worthless! Such items are better left unappraised.

Back

What's the big idea, coming to me empty-handed for an appraisal? Are you crazy or is this some kind of a joke?

Just a moment... Let me get my glasses...

Now, what have we here, hmm?

Oh, my! Indeed!

This is a famous porcelain, made by the court sculptors! It is of the highest quality. It will fetch a great price at any store!

Just a moment... Let me get my glasses...

What have we here, hmm? Hmm...

Oh my! Indeed!

You've found a high grade porcelain. It has been glazed to make it shiny. Most likely it decorated the home of an Elmoreden aristocrat... It will fetch a good price at any store.

Just a moment... Let me get my glasses...

Now, what have we here, hmm? Oh Oh...!

Well, there's no go way to say this... This is a low grade porcelain. Take a look here... Do you see this scratch? And look at this chipped edge... I'm sorry. It won't fetch much at a store.

Just a moment... Let me get my glasses...

Now, what have we here, hmm...

Oh my!

This is the lowest grade porcelain I've ever seen! Look at the large crack on the side. Do you see it? The texture is very crude, made from coarse clay... Sorry to disappoint you, but it is practically worthless...

Just a moment... Let me get my glasses...

Now, what have we here, hmm...?

Wha...?!! I just touched it once... and it shattered into a thousand pieces! Oh, my! How embarrassing! I should've been more careful!

Ahem! I'm so sorry. Objects this old tends to be fragile and are easily broken...
