An Imp of Stone eyes you as if trying to make a decision. You draw your weapon and walk up to the Imp. It smiles at you and bows, laughing as he does this, 'Oh terrible Warrior, I tremble before your tremendous power and might. I am just a humble servant in the service of a Hermit. You can just imagine how fun that is? But might I ask you a favor, my Master is not as young as he used to be, and the task allotted to him has not been completed. This weighs upon him terribly as he does not want to fail his Goddess. If you to kill 45 Magma Lions we can then talk further. You shall be rewarded for your efforts if you actually live.'

Tell my Master I sent you and see what he says.'

Within the silent walls of the lonely Temple you find a Hermit silently meditating. Not wanting to disturb the Hermit you look around for someone else, but there is no other door out of the plain stone chamber. The Hermit then coughs and looks up at you, 'It is rare that I get visitors, why are you here.' The Hermit sighs deeply, 'You know, there was a time when I could have torn that out of your very mind. Those times have gone, She has left me. I'm amazed that Azulah has not done the same thing.' He tries to stand but collapses as his legs give out. You step forward to help the Hermit up but he waves you away. 'Leave me to my shame. My failure to the Goddess is now complete. I can't even stand.' He slowly rights himself again and stares up at you, 'The Goddess has tasked me with purging Pelopon of evil, but the potency of my powers diminishes the further I go from the Temple. I have tried to do as I have been asked. But I have spent a lifetime of failure.' The old man looks up at you, tears stream down his aged cheeks, 'I don't know what to do...' You heart goes out to the Hermit, you say. 'What is it that you have to do? Maybe I can help.' The Hermit nods, 'I suppose you're right. Azulah would not have sent you to me if you did not impress him.' He then closes his eyes and a chest appears in front of him. You blink in astonishment, He smiles and pushes the chest towards you.

He opens it up and rummages through the many scrolls within. After a while he hands you an old parchment, 'Right, we can now start. We require a number of magical artifacts to free the Realms from evil. First on the list is the Magma Lions Anger, if you manage to build it return to me. You receive 1 x Magma Lions Anger Recipe

But we are by no means done yet, meet me in the Rise.' The Imp then suddenly vanishes along with the chest.

Stage 6 Minimum Level: 1323 Location:Pelopon Lava Pits (Rise) (9, 2) Required Item: None Required Kills: None

Get the Firewind Heart from the Firewind then present it to the Goddess at the Shrine. I'll be waiting here when you're done.' You receive 1 x Firewind Heart Recipe

A pale marble shrine sits silently on the fury wasteland. You approach the shrine and look around, for a moment all is still and you hear a faint whispering on the wind. You place the Firewind Heart on the flawless marble and stand back. As you do so, a golden light shines from the pale stone of the shrine. It glows brighter until you have to shade your eyes against the unbearable glare. A shadow falls over you and you look up. A woman dressed in elegant pale robes smiles down at you, 'Hello Warrior. I am pleased that you still walk the Realms.' You kneel before the Goddess of Magic and wait for her to speak. Lindarsil rests her hand upon you, 'I see fear and mistrust within your spirit Warrior. I suppose that is not surprising, but I have no ill will towards you. In fact, I have watched you in your endeavors and I am impressed with what I see.' She steps back and motions you towards the shrine, 'I accept your offering, you may take the Fireheart. Live well Warrior and know that I am watching.' The Goddess then turns and fades from sight, the light from the shrine dims. You guess that Lindarsil was trying to be comforting, but the thought of her watching you is NOT something you find reassuring.

He licks his lips, 'It was said that only the Goddess herself could calm the Firewind, only she has the subtlety to accomplish such a feat.' He takes the Calmed Fireheart from you and marvels at it. 'It is cool to the touch, quite pretty really.' He puts the artifact carefully within the chest then smiles broadly at you. 'I must say, that you have managed much more than I ever hoped you would. We should press on though, I'm sure my Master will be amazed with your success. But before we see him we need to do just one more thing, meet me in the Plain.' Azulah and the chest vanishes into the either.

But there is one thing I don't get with folks, just because they say "excuse me" before they boil your brains in your skull does not make them noble.'

He puts the Hunger into the chest and looks up at you. 'We still have more work to do, I shall meet you in the Blacksands.' The Imp and chest then vanish into nothing.

I suppose that is all pride is, quite poetic really. Anyway we are nearly done for this region of Pelopon, meet me in the Stormbreach and we can get out of this dusty wasteland.'

He sits up with a start, 'Oh, sorry Warrior, you took so long. Anyway glad you're here now,' He hands you a scroll with a note of triumphant glee. 'You should have seen my Masters face when I presented him with the last three artifacts. He was completely flabbergasted. But we still have a few more mountains to climb before we reach the goal.' He points at the scroll and frowns, 'I'm not too sure what the Goddess would want with such a disgusting thing, but who are we to judge the wishes of the divine.

Stage 23 Minimum Level: 1330 Location:Pelopon (Hermit Temple) (2, 3) Required Item: Hermits Wisdom Required Kills: None

The Hermit sits in quiet meditation. The ancient Hermit slowly opens his eyes and smiles up at you, then takes the Chest. 'You have returned, how did you do Warrior?' You look around the empty Temple then ask, 'Did Azulah not tell you?' The Hermit tilts his head, 'Tell me what?' Then his eyes go wide with wonderment. You follow his gaze and see Lindarsil standing behind you with Azulah crouched next to her. She walks past you and stands next to the Hermit. In a soft voice she says, 'The Warrior has followed your wisdom Narshol. The tasks have been fulfilled and Pelopon can now be purged of evil.' She smiles down at him. Tears run freely down his cheeks, 'I thought I had failed you my Goddess and you had abandoned me.' The Goddess of Magic laughs, a pleasant musical sound. 'Narshol, how long have you been here?' The Hermit frowns, 'Sorry, I don't know what you mean. I tried to complete the tasks you set me, but I failed. I continued to strive and repelled all aggressors to the Temple. But eventually they stopped coming. I then meditated on the truths you set in the Codex, to try and see how I could serve you more effectively.' He looks confused up at Lindarsil, 'Is this another test my Goddess?' Lindarsil looks at you, 'You know why they ceased attacking this Temple Warrior? The last time the Shadow Lord assaulted my Temple, He amassed three armies of 20,000 Orcs and Undead. Narshol stood before the host of 60,000 alone on the road to the Peak. With a single weaving he summoned a tornado of lightning that rampaged across my enemies. None from that battlefield escaped. The only reason the tale is told was because the Reserve Undead Cavalry was moving too slowly, and witnessed the slaughter. Who would dare attack the Temple after that?' A light of fierce pride shines in Lindarsil's eyes as she recounts the tale. Narshol shrugs, 'Yes, that was before you left me.' Azulah shuffles over to stand next to the Hermit. 'You know that happened 374 years ago right?' The Hermit laughs harshly, 'I am a human, I can't live that long!' The Stone Imp gestures at Lindarsil, 'You can if she sustains you.' Lindarsil the cups the Old Hermits face in both hands, 'My dear Narshol, why would I curtail your powers to only this Peak?' She releases his face and he looks down at the stone, 'I have pondered that. I could not complete the tasks without help...' He then stops and his face snaps up to gaze at you. 'I needed someone to follow my scrolls to complete the task..' Lindarsil smiles down at Narshol, pride radiates from her, 'For what purpose Narshol?' The Hermit then frowns, 'Even with all my power, I had to rely on others. It is a warning against pride, as well as recognizing the worth of those around me.' Lindarsil beams with pleasure, 'Yes my Narshol. You are to inspire those around you to greater things. Then your power will be magnified one hundred fold.' She reaches down and takes the Old Hermits hand, 'Stand and travel to Karthak and seek out some one called Jamesina.' The Old Hermit rises and as he does so the years fall from him. In an instant a young man in his early 20's stands before his Goddess. In a gentle but strangely powerful voice he says, 'As you command my Goddess.' Lindarsil smiles at you, turns and walks silently out of the Temple. Narshol makes a sharp gesture and a staff appears in his hand, 'I must thank you warrior for all your help. I have learned much from you. Please take this Staff as a token of my gratitude. Now I must go, may the Goddess guide you Warrior.' Azulah grins and waves, then follows his Master. You receive 1 x 53,027,110 Xp + 1 x Staff of the Hermit
