    * Izzal was amazed at the weapon that I obtained at The Tabernacle of Pain.

    * He explained that it is the reformed metal tablets that once held the tenants of marr, but how The Truth of Marr spent a detrimental amount of time within the demi plane known as The Sphere of Malevolence. As a result of that time, it has become corrupted.

    * The priestess also warned me that they must be well guarded or within the clutches of very powerful beasts 


3. You must acquire the 3 rings of contrition.
