Stage 1 Minimum Level: 1893 Location:Soldoril Grove (Twisted Wood) (9, 9) Required Item: None Required Kills: None

You find Silandra standing alone surrounded devastated trees. The Elven Monk shrugs, 'I don't know. This was a grove of ancient trees that drank deeply from the magics of the earth which filled the forest with the radiant splendor of the wilds. It was a place of immense power and beauty. We must find out what has happened here. I saw some Grove Lights that still linger amongst the shattered trees. Bring me it's Lamp Seed so I can deduce something of what has occurred here.'

Stage 2 Minimum Level: 1893 Location:Soldoril Grove (Twisted Wood) (9, 9) Required Item: Lamp Seed Required Kills: None

Silandra waits for you to return, 'Did you get the Lamp Seed from the Grove Lights?' The Elven Monk takes the small gemstone and stares into it's depths, 'I don't understand, the very essence of this little forest spirit has been torn asunder for some reason. Something terrible has happened here. It's not just a simple burning of the Forest that has caused this awful destruction, but a manipulation of the forest's base life energies. We must delve deeper into the Grove and try to find out who is responsible for this. Meet me in the Poisoned Earth and we will continue our search.'

Stage 3 Minimum Level: 1894 Location:Soldoril Grove (Poisoned Earth) (8, 13) Required Item: None Required Kills: None

Silandra calls over to you. Silandra looks around her with terror filled eyes, 'I don't know what to do. There was an Sathrin Ranger Station that stood in this realm. It no longer does and it seems that the entire company has been... turned into undead. My mind reals from the horror, but I cannot have the honored Elven Rangers being humiliated in this manner. Please, destroy 33 x Soldoril Ravager and put them out of their misery.'

Stage 4 Minimum Level: 1894 Location:Soldoril Grove (Poisoned Earth) (8, 13) Required Item: None Required Kills: 33 x Soldoril Ravager

The Elven Monk stands in regretful silence, 'Have you destroyed the Soldoril Ravagers?' Silandra glances down to her feet, 'Your Priest of Light said that there would be some hard choices to be made. I never realized until now what he meant by that. We should move on, I cannot stay here any longer knowing what I have asked you to do. Come, meet me in the Despoiled Haven, surely this evil will end...'

Stage 5 Minimum Level: 1895 Location:Soldoril Grove (Despoiled Haven) (16, 2) Required Item: None Required Kills: None

Silandra looks intently at a handful of earth. The Elven Monk lets the powdery gray earth fall from her hand, 'The very ground of the Soldoril Grove is ruined... I'm struggling to accept this terrible thing. What sort of mind would conceive of this? Who would destroy something that had such beauty and wonder as this ancient Grove? Well grieving will have to wait, I must find out what happened here. Magic is an art, so it use always leaves an imprint of the type of magic used and of the nature caster.' 'Creatures are the most susceptible to corruption, which we can use to our advantage. The Grove was a favorite haunt for all types of magical creatures. Most of these creatures have thankfully escaped the fate of the Grove, but it looks like the Satyrs haven't been so lucky. These frivolous creatures seem to have been warped into vile Vengar. Their fate is cruel and undeserved, but they can still serve the Soldoril Grove, even in death. Bring me the Vengar Essence so I can try to deduce what type of magic was employed here.'

Stage 6 Minimum Level: 1895 Location:Soldoril Grove (Despoiled Haven) (16, 2) Required Item: Vengar Essence Required Kills: None

Silandra waits silently within the devastated Grove, 'Did you manage to bring me a Vengar Essence?' The Elven Monk takes the Essence from you, she holds it out in front of her and closes her eyes. After a few moments the foul Essence begins to hum. Slowly Silandra's arms fall to her sides and the Vengar Essence spins slowly in the air in front of her. You look at the purple flame deep within the Essence. It flickers wildly, then suddenly goes out. Silandra's obsidian eyes flicker open and the Essence fades into nothing. 'I don't understand this. I expected to find incantations of Necromacy, but there was only the vaguest sense of Undeath within the Essence. Strangely there was a weird magical aura that I've never seen before and the imprint of the Casters psyche for some obscure reason. I'm not sure that our sorceries will be effective against this unknown magic. We must hunt down this dark Mage and learn exactly what type of magic has be used against the Forest, if there is any hope of us undoing this evil. Come, meet me in the Blackheart. I'm sure this corruption cannot have leached too far into the Soldoril Grove.'

Stage 7 Minimum Level: 1896 Location:Soldoril Grove (Blackheart) (14, 4) Required Item: None Required Kills: None

Silandra calls you over, you hear the strained overtones of desperation in her voice. Silandra points vaguely around her, 'This... this is the very heart of the Soldoril Grove. It was a blessed and sacred place for us. It was here that the power of nature could be truly seen. My heart broke at what happened here. As I walked the Grove I thought at least the Grove is utterly destroyed. This evil cannot do any more than it already has. That was when I saw them...' The Elven Monk clutches her chest and she fights for breath in strangled gasps of grief. You wait for the stricken Monk to catch her breath, after a while the racking sobs of sorrow slow down then finally stop. She looks at you with stricken eyes, 'I understand that you don't grasp my meaning Warrior. You never saw the Soldoril Grove in all her splendor. The power of nature was so strong here, that it drew the most amazing creatures to it's sanctuary. Fae, Dryads and even Unicorns could be seen regularly walking through Soldoril. This Grove was so special, not even we Wood Elves looked after it! Forest Elementals sprung up from the very forest loam to tend the earth.' 'These Elementals symbolized the true grace and might of the earth. They were the embodiment of everything good and wholesome. Not even the Soldoril Elementals were strong enough to resist this evil. Just like the Vengar, they have been twisted into foul Malfaisant, the very antithesis of what they were in life. The Soldoril Grove Elementals are no longer stewards of the earth. Now these Malfaisant walk the soil poisoning everything they see with the corrupting evil that runs through them. I cannot abide this affront to what they once stood for, hunt down and slay 13 x Malfaisant (Champion) and put these once beautiful creatures out their their pain.'

Stage 8 Minimum Level: 1886 Location:Soldoril Grove (Blackheart) (14, 4) Required Item: None Required Kills: 13 x Malfaisant (Champion)

Silandra pulls her robes closed, as if to shield out the horror that surrounds her, 'Have you put the Malfaisant (Champions) out of their misery?' The Elven Monk just nods, 'We must leave this evil place. I fear for your missing Paladin. If the Soldoril Elementals fell to this toxic evil, what will become of her. We must move quickly. I doubt she has much time left, if she's not gone already. Meet me in the Sathrin Forest (Glade), surely there will be some respite to this horror.' You receive 22,635,398 Xp.
