=====================================

To Speak as a Dragon

=====================================

This is a 3-part quest for the pristine weapons. It is the final "boss" quest of original EverQuest 2. It includes slaying dragons and drakotas and gives a weapon that will make all the trouble worth it (at least for casters and priests; melees might find a Tier 6 rare crafted weapon to be better).


=====================================

Prerequisites

=====================================

1. Approach the ravine in Lavastorm that leads to the entry to Maiden's Gulch and speak to Sebir the Historian, who tells you about the sage who needs rescuing.

2. Zone a group of players at least level 45 into Maiden's Gulch: Rescue of the Sage.

3. Kill the named drakota, Vyr'drais the Vicious with 2 adds, and hail the Sage of Ages on the platform behind him to start the quest'.

NOTE: You MUST have learned Krombral (Giant-language) or you will not be able to zone into the Oratorium Of Thyr and will not be able to reach Nagafen.



=====================================

Steps

=====================================

1. Once you've started the quest with the Sage, travel deep into Solusek's Eye and enter the Oratorium of Thyr.

2. Just before you reach the Oratorium there is a ledge you must jump down.

3. Fight your way through the Oratorium (level 50-51^^ giants) to Flamelord Thyr.

    * HAVE A NON-CRITICAL PARTY MEMBER HAIL THE FLAMELORD. The person hailing the Flamelord is temporarily banished to a cage from which they cannot escape. The person doing the hailing should obviously not be your main tank. Conjurers, Necromancers and Illusionists are able to use their pet while in the cage. It is also possible to cast down on the Flamelord and to heal from the cage. If you can solo the Flamelord, it is possible to range pull him to the cage and complete the instance solo, but the task is difficult. 


4. Defeat Flamelord Thyr and exit the Oratorium.

    * After defeating Thyr, you gain access to a new version of the zone called Oratorium of Thyr (Deserted) which will allow you to pass through later without fighting. 


5. Use the gong to have your group enter Nagafen's Lair. Because you do not know the Elder Dragon language (the whole point of this quest is to learn it), you can't speak to Lord Nagafen once you enter.

6. Speak to Majordomo Inferinus who tells you that you need to learn the language Elder Dragon to be able to speak to Lord Nagafen.

7. Speak to the Sage of Ages in Antonica on the top floor of the Tower of the Oracles. He tells you that you need to find 26 translated runes of Elder Dragon to learn the language.

8. Gather the 26 runes and speak to the Sage of Ages again.
