The Visiting Priestess spawns near the Ogre Captain.
If evil, you can hail her and she asks, "Are you the champion
that Najena sent for?". You have to say "I will champion for
Najena" and she will give you her quest. She wishes to put
together the The Staff of The Ankexfen.
You say, 'I have not heard of the staff.'
a visiting priestess says 'No? Why am I not surprised? You look
too weak and frail to be of any use. You probably could not even
best one of those intoxicated, weak-minded goblins controlled by
that pathetic eye called Xxorb. Away with you, useless
creature!'
You say, 'What happened to the Ankexfen?'
a visiting priestess says 'The wrath of the unnamed gods was
grim. Thousands of ogres were instantly slain - their empire
left to crumble under the hand of retribution. The giants were
flung across the face of Norrath like seeds to the wind. The
Ankexfen's fates were more severe. The entire race was
exterminated, but from the ashes were born the four goblin
races. What is known is that each goblin clan was stripped of
any knowledge and was neither informed of the other clans nor of
their own origins. Each clan was then transported to a separate
environment to help preserve the gods' will. However, the gods
were not without mercy and each clan was granted a section of
the staff. Upon each staff, a crystal was placed. These staves
served to aid the goblin clans in understanding their
environments. These remnants of the staff of Ankexfen are what I
desire. Bring them to me and the Priests of Innoruuk shall
reward you.'
These pieces are the four Crystal Staves: the Ice Crystal Staff,
the Water Crystal Staff, the Slime Crystal Staff, and the Fire
Crystal Staff. Hand them in.
a visiting priestess grins evilly as she disassembles the staff
and holds forth a runed wooden rod.

a visiting priestess cackles with glees as she slowly assembles
the runed rods, and with a muttered incantation and a flash of
light, disappears, leaving only a note that slowly drifts to the
ground.

This will put the Scroll of Flayed Goblin Skin into your
inventory. It reads:
(some illegible and cryptic text regarding Neriak and blue
flames. There is a portion that appears as if erased of ink,
most likely by magical means)
Take the scroll to Nallar Q`Tentu in Neriak, 3rd Gate.
When Hailed, he responds with "Lower your voice *playerrace*,
these halls contain many tomes.....speak the wrong word loudly
enough, and you could be turned into a frog, or worse. Heed my
warning"
You say, 'what about the blue flame?'
Nallar Q`Tentu 's face twists into an expression of complete
confusion. The librarian says, 'The Ritual? Of the Blue Flame?
Yes I know of it. But why wou..never mind. The ritual is fairly
simple. The sacrifice is [flayed] and thrown into the fire just
before death overcomes it. The flaying brings out an almost
euphoric state of hatred and despisal. It's this that feeds the
flame. The influence of our Father blues the flame and allows it
to melt our adamantium. '
You say, 'what about the flayed?'
Nallar Q`Tentu says 'The flaying is done by our priests and the
Denouncer. Flaying itself is used in many other rituals as well.
For instance, the skin of a flayed goblin can be used to record
a misdeed. The perpetrator records the misdeed upon the skin, an
ancient practice which allows the victim to wreak [vengeance]
upon the one who wronged them, or their ancestors. The
perpetrator shows strength by allowing the victim a chance at
vengeance, even though the victim is usually dead. '
You say, 'what vengeance?'
Nallar Q`Tentu says 'Vengeance can only be wrought if the victim
is given the goblin skin. Since the victim is usually dead it's
not much of a danger. But..it has been known to happen.
Ironically, this vengeance is possible through the use of the
Blue Flame. This flame can act as a doorway to the nether realm,
to [summon] the spirit of a victim. On the skin is recorded the
House name of the victim and the reason for the deed. '
You say, 'how to summon?'
Nallar Q`Tentu says 'Only the Denouncer can call forth a
vengeful spirit from the flames. But before he can do so, he'll
need blood from a member of the victim's House. Once the blood
is cast into the flames, the spirit will emerge only for a short
time before the negative pull of the other world draws it back.
Why do you ask so many questions on this? Do you have one of
these skins? '
You say, 'yes'
Nallar Q`Tentu says 'Ahh, well I'll assume if you could read it
you wouldn't be asking these questions. Fortunately for you I do
have the ability to read these skins and will do so for only one
star ruby. These spirits will often reward those who give them
their vengeance. With my translation you may find the name of
the House. Hand me the skin and a star ruby and we'll see. '
After you hand him the skin and the star ruby.
Nallar Q`Tentu takes the scroll and removes an ornate magnifying
glass from a pocket. After some examination and many frowns
along with interjections of 'Hmmm,' he hands the scroll back to
you and says, 'Unlucky for you indeed. The name of the House has
been removed. This can only happen when the House itself is
wiped out by another House. All record of that House is
destroyed if the attacking house is succesful. You still have a
chance though. Many House refugees find homes in other Houses.
The Everliving Mayong is known to take in any Teir'Dal rabble,
try his castle.' '
You gain experience!!
Zanotix Ixtaz can be found in Neriak Commons, standing behind a
big flame. Yes, it's blue.
You say, 'Hail, Zanotix Ixtaz'
Zanotix Ixtaz casts an icy glare at you and says 'I, Zanotix
Ixtaz, am the greatest weaponsmith in all of Neriak. Have you
disturbed me to purchase one of my superior products or have you
come to learn the art of crafting [indigo sabres]? '
You say, 'what about the blue flame?'
Zanotix Ixtaz gazes at you for many breaths, studying your eyes
before looking back at his forge and saying, 'The Blue Flame.
This is what allows us to forge our ancestral armor and weapons
of adamantite. That and my unmatched skill that is. Many souls
were [ritually] sacrificed to spark the flame that now feeds off
the constant flow of hatred and envy of the victims . Some call
it the Flame of Vengence.' Zanotix stares into the flames,
poking at it absently. '
You say, 'what is the ritual?'
Zanotix Ixtaz says 'The Ritual? Well I was young when it took
place. I don't really remember. I've had so much on my mind
lately, what with all these new taxes. For instance, I need to
come up with an extra 75 pieces of platinum just to cover the
forge tax. I don't know what I'm going to do.....*cough*. '
Give him 75 pp.
Zanotix Ixtaz quickly pockets the coins and says, 'Go see the
Librarian, Nallar. Tell him Denouncer Ixtaz sent you. Do not
return here for at least 3 days, now go, Dark Elf.' '
You gain experience!!
Go back to Nallar Q`Tentu.
You say, 'denouncer ixtaz sent me'
Nallar Q`Tentu stiffens at the mention of the title. His eyes
dart back and forth about the room before speaking to you, his
voice almost inaudible. He says, 'Why are you here? What do you
want of me? I am nothing but a lowly librarian. I've already
paid my debt, I have nothing else to give.' '
You say, 'I am here for the ritual'
Nallar Q`Tentu 's face twists into an expression of complete
confusion. The librarian says, 'The Ritual? Of the Blue Flame?
Yes I know of it. But why wou..never mind. The ritual is fairly
simple. The sacrifice is [flayed] and thrown into the fire just
before death overcomes it. The flaying brings out an almost
euphoric state of hatred and despisal. It's this that feeds the
flame. The influence of our Father blues the flame and allows it
to melt our adamantium. '
Give Zanotix the Vial of Noble's Blood found in Mistmoore Castle
on a fallen noble.
Zanotix Ixtaz accepts the vial and looks you over, eyebrow
raised. He says, 'Well, a sacrifice to feed my forge. You have
done Neriak a great service, Citizen ______. I shall burn it
now.' He then holds the vial up the the flames, the blood seems
to glow brightly as he stares into it. Then suddenly, with the
shout of an arcane phrase, he throws the vial violently into the
flame. The force shatters the vial, spilling the blood about the
flames. Almost immediately the flames flare up to the ceiling.
When they die down a presence is felt within the flames. '
Cast See Invisible to see the vengeful spirit. Then hand it the
scroll.
vengeful spirit flares brightly as you place the scroll into the
blue flames of the forge. The scroll quickly catches fire and
burns out in a flash of white fire. In it's place is left a
hammer. As you snatch the hammer from the flames you hear the
spirit begin to cackle wildly and fade away. '
Your faction standing with NeriakCitizen got better.
You gain experience!!
You get the Blued Two-Handed Hammer.
