Apostate Orders

From the Apostate Citadel Quest, introduced during the Who Watches the Virindi? event.



Apostate Message Shard A shard of black crystal, recovered from the Apostate Virindi Master. Pretranslation Author: N/A Translator: Diyas al-Yat Translator Speech: You allow Diyas al-Yat to examine your Apostate Message Shard. Diyas al-Yat tells you, "I heard that Aruq sent you off to that new fortress in the Direlands. Is this the shard you found there? Fascinating... Let me have a look..." You hand over 1 of your Apostate Message Shards. Diyas stares into the fragment of crystal for a moment, and his eyes widen with horror. Diyas al-Yat tells you, "The Virindi rebels are gathering their allies again! They seek to step into the gap left by T'thuun's defeat! Quick, take this translation to Aruq, he will make sure the proper people are notified." Diyas al-Yat gives you Apostate Orders.

Apostate Orders This is a translation of a Virindi message shard found in the Apostate Citadel.

The Consul sends you forth to establish a facility that will serve two purposes. The site we have chosen for the facility is over a vein of quintessential ore. Your first purpose is to supervise the rock giants who call themselves Gotrok in their extraction of the ore. While the Gotrok possess formidable physical architecture, their efforts must be bent wholly to the extraction of ore. Thus your second purpose, to recruit and maintain a garrison of soldiers from among the crude meatlings who call themselves Hea.

The Gotrok and the Hea are alienated from the rulers of their kind, and thus sympathetic to our own cause. In the past, the predecessors of the Consul from the fallen New Singularity made profitable alliance with these renegades. Our effort shall not fail as New Singularity did, because the realm we seek to conquer is now critically weakened. The channels of quintessence are riven by the claw marks of the chaos-bringer known as T'thuun. In the wake of the chaos-bringer's defeat, the Isparians have splintered into secret factions, jealously guarding their nodes of power.

The factions leach away the power of the Isparian centralized control, which in the past rallied to defeat the New Singularity. We will do as the Directive has always bid, and enslave and conquer the divided factions one by one. Some will be bribed, some will be coerced, and some will be overwhelmed by the might of our servants. When you have established your facility as a reliable source of quintessential ore, we will begin to open our Nexuses across the surface of this realm to encircle and consume the power the Isparians attempt to hoard to themselves.

We have empowered you to raise more powerful servants than any other Master has been granted. We will be watching closely. Success in this venture will grant you a name and individualization of your trappings. Failure will bring you separation from the Singularity, and utter oblivion - blackness, darkness, forever.
