25th Anniversary: Chasing What's Not Real  

• 1. Seek a clue among the gnolls 0/1 ALL


This step was very vague and took me just blind luck clicking on objects on the ground in areas where gnolls are near where the baby dragons are at which I found in Blackburrow.

In Blackburrow at /way 80, -193 in one of the little cubby areas on the way to Everfrost peaks there is a small hatchet on the ground. Loot it. They respawn quickly.

This axe was discarded quickly, and touching it pushes an echo through your mind: A swing. The axe failed to meet its target, yet there was no fault in the aim. Another swing, another failed connection. Did the blade pass through the small dragon? Beside the axe is a small twig of Luclin-daylight origin, yet not wild. Cultivated, perhaps? What an odd find.

• 2. Seek a clue among Luclin's daytime flora 0/1 ALL




Quest Text: The axe found in Blackburrow provided the following echo:

A swing. The axe failed to meet its target, yet there was no fault in the aim. Another swing, another failed connection. Did the blade pass through the small dragon? Besides the axe is a small twig of Luclin-daylight origin, yet not wild. Cultivated, perhaps? What an off find.


Another vague step. This is found in Sanctus Seru in an area where there is a walk way with some bushes and some guards in the northwest part of the zone, you'll see a baby dragon. The plant you are looking for is the smallest out of the all in the southeast corner of that area at /way 441, 564, 60. The plant looks like it has blue flowers in it and almost blends into the grass.



Click on it to get the update.

This bush is out of place compared to the others, its colors counter the uniform appearance of the rest of the Sanctus Seru park. Touching the bush sends another echo, reverberating: Was he intoxicated, or was it just the visions of dragons? This bush, its colorful branches would make an absolutely glorious bouquet. Branches? In a bouquet? It shall be offered to the dragons. The bloody wine cork beneath the bush seems out of place for Sanctus Seru. Where would someone serve wine like blood?

• 3. Seek a clue where wine like blood may flow 0/1 ALL

This step is in Dreadspire Keep at /way 3486, 4, 102 in the dining room on a big table. It's a bottle of wine.

The deep red color of this wine makes it difficult to determine if the wine is of the vine or of the vein. It doesn't appear to be the only one present at this dinner party, a popular vintage amongst its mixed company of living and not-so-living. Yet, it too holds an echo, far more faint than the others: Dragons? In Mayong's own Norrathian stronghold? Babies, how mad! It's time to get ready for a dinner party.

Mistmoore Hostess says, 'Oh, that's not for YOU, silly. That was saved for our friend. Our friend. Our friend. Our friend with the dragons. Why did he have dragons?' She suddenly gets very angry, eyes alight with madness. 'Dragons aren't allowed here!'

Mistmoore Hostess says, 'Dragons, dragons, dragorn, dragorn. The friend was going to pay them for something. One gold coin for... dragons? Dragons. Our friend. Into the bloooooooodfields.'

• 4. Seek a clue in the Bloodfields 0/1 The Bloodfields




Quest Text: The blood wine in Mayong's Dreadspire Keep provided the following echo:

'Dragons, dragons, dragorn, dragorn. The friend was going to pay them for something. One gold coin for... dragons? Dragons. Out friend. Into the blooooooodfields.'


This is found in the Omens of War zone The Bloodfields. You'll see the baby dragon going back and forth. What you're looking for is a gold coin ground spawn on the top of a wall near a spire portion in the middle of the zone. Not the top bridge you port in on. Go to /way 611, -150, -824

This coin isn't Kuuan in nature, but rather Norrathian. Not only that, but general issue, albeit old. Why is it discarded, and here of all places? Yet touching the coin brings forth another echo: He thought maybe, just maybe, with large enough spires, someone might be able to teleport to more dragons. Yet even some of the largest spires have driven men like Greig crazy. Perhaps the great spires of Luclin have answers.

This step updates in Mons Letalis on top of the platform in the south portion. You'll see a baby dragon there. Nearby is a box you click on at /way 21, 523, 204

These spires did not survive the attempts made to return to teleport prior. An echo rings through a specific fragment on the ground: Confusion. The man found nothing but confusion. If not one stone, then another. If not a confused robed man, then a confused Taelosian. Is this all a GAME to you?

• 6. Seek a clue with a confused Taelosian 0/1 ALL


This step updates in Riwwi, Coliseum of Games in the north part of the zone in the tunnels and in the northwest corner. There is a jail cell and a rock in it at /way 757, 204, -35, click on it.

Iniba the Confused says, 'I am not the dragon. I am not the white robed man. Maybe the Heroes preceded the dragons? Did Veeshan seed them that way? He seeks wings of his own creation. A child's tailoring plan will send him to the sky, or crashing to the waters of the Free Port.'

• 7. Seek a clue where one might tailor in Freeport 0/1 East Freeport




Quest Text: The Stone of Confusion within the coliseum of Riwwi on Taelosia provided the following echo:

'I am not the dragon. I am not the white robed man. Maybe the Heroes preceded the dragons? Did Veeshan seed them that way? He seeks wings of his own creation. A child's tailoring plan will send him to the sky, or crashing to the waters of the Free Port.'


This step updates in East Freeport at the tailoring shop of the Tanner's. There are some boxes back behind them, a scroll sits on the back of one, click on it.

The tailoring pattern for dragon-like wings looks like it could have been a valid option, but there's no leather materials on Norrath that would safely keep anyone aloft, not even a small light gnome. The pattern holds an echo of something that came before: Imbued. It should be imbued! Large dragon scales would never do, but smaller ones... The largescale dragon death in certain areas of Kunark should have something deep within ancient tunnels.

This step updates in Field of Bone, the location is on the west side of the zone in an underground area. You'll see a bowl laying on the ground near an altar at /way 430, 2951, -79 click on it.

The basket might have at one point held dragon scales, yet it has been emptied recently. Someone got to it before you could. The man in the white robe? Touching the basket relays an echo: The moon. The silvery moon. Drinal calls in the silence of a divided Shar Vahl. A letter left in haste in an empty room, never reaching its destination.

• 9. Seek a clue within an empty room in Shar Vahl, Divided 0/1 Shar Vahl, Divided




Quest Text: The empty basket of dragon scales, found in the Field of Bone on Kunark, provided the following echo:

The moon. The silvery moon. Drinal calls in the silence of a divided Shar Vahl. A letter left in haste in an empty room, never reaching its destination.


Go to Shar Vahl, Divided (ToL) to /way -335, 472, -159. You're looking for a scroll on the table that has one chair in the far southwest building in the city up on the 2nd floor in the west room.

The scroll is an actual item this time so it will go into your inventory, right click it while you're in Shar Vahl, Divided, it won't work it you click it in other zones.

This paper looks to be from a Drinal adherent begging for a leave of absence from their priestly duties to find the source of all dragons. The echo appears trapped within the page. Taking it to Alta might shed some answers.

• 10. Take the latest clue to Alta 0/1 Crescent Reach




Quest Text: The Leave of Absence left by Drinal adherant contains an echo, but it is trapped within its confines. Taking it to Alta might shed some answers.


Give Alta the Frightened the Leave of Absence. She gives it back to you.

You offered 1 Leave of Absence to Alta the Frightened.
You have been given: Leave of Absence

Alta the Frightened says, 'This... this pointed you back here? Here, really? Drinal is not known to have any attachment to dragons or our Mother Veeshan, so I don't understand. Take this letter to the empty meeting room off the training area. It seems to point there of all places. I'd do it, but... I have seen too much already.'
You complete the trade with Alta the Frightened.



• 11. Examine the clue within the empty meeting room 0/1 Crescent Reach




Quest Text: Take the Leave of Absence to the meeting room just off the training area within Crescent Reach. It should unlock the echo.


This step is still in Crescent Reach. Go to /way -1417, -883, 35 which is on the 2nd floor in far southwest big room. Stand in the middle and right click the Leave of Absence scroll.

A man in a white robe and a bunch of baby dragons spawns and walks away. He disappears and the step updates.

You begin casting Examine Clue.
One... two... five... So many visions of baby dragons converge upon you.
A vision of a white robed man, wielding a scythe, walks away and his laughter won't stop. It keeps going. It keeps ringing through. Laughter, dragons, laughter, dragons, it is madness.
Madness.
Madness.
Madness.
Madness until it is gone, like a blink, and you are left with the Combine sigil of Tsaph Katta in your mind.
