 * 2) Run from Tou-Tou to The Shadows at 29.5S, 94.2E.
 * 3) From the drop, head down 14 flights of stairs. Head north at the first intersection, then east at the second.  Take the first passage to the north, and then again to the east.  Finally, run straight until you see a large room with a pillar of rock in the middle.
 * 4) * Note: In order to pass through the hallways, you will have to take down at least one Void (door) that blocks your route. Attack the door with a fire rend on full speed for maximum damage.  It is possible for archers to perch the door from across the room without being attacked by shadows.
 * 5) Run up the ramp around the pillar and speak to Ler Rhan at the top.
 * 6) He will give you a Message from Ler Rhan to Black Ferah.
 * 7) Bring this to Black Ferah for your title and rewards. Located outside Tou-Tou at 29.2S 95.8E.
