    This task begins with the Chief Librarian of Katta Castrum.

    You say, 'Hail, Chief Librarian Lars'

    Chief Librarian Lars says 'Hello _____, I am Chief Librarian Lars. I've been studying various articles of the Combine, as well as various texts of the different species in the habitats and writing my findings for the rest of the Combine to review. Part of my job here as the chief librarian is to [analyze] the various new codes and writings of the Shissar. I've also been looking for someone to help me retrieve some important [books] that have been lost.'

    You say, 'What about the books?'

    You have been assigned the task 'Zhisza Cipher'.

    Chief Librarian Lars has asked you to find the two halves of a cipher used by the shissar and bring them to him. He believes that the cipher is most likely held by the higher ranking shissar inside the temple.



    Collect the Bottom Half of Zhisza Cipher 0/1 (Zhisza)

    Collect the Top Half of Zhisza Cipher 0/1 (Zhisza)

    The 2 cipher halves are rare drops from red-con "a temple patroller" and "a temple deathcaller" inside the temple in Zhizsa.

    Deliver the Bottom Half of Zhisza Cipher to Lars 0/1 (Katta Castrum)

    Deliver the Top Half of Zhisza Cipher to Lars 0/1 (Katta Castrum)

    Chief Librarian Lars says, 'Well done! This cipher will prove invaluable in deciphering the ancient runes used in the shissar heiroglyphs. I am in your debt.'


    Rewards:
    Faction with Combine Empire Merchants
    Experience
    Worn Pottery Piece (for the Tsaph Katta Urn quest)

    You say, 'books'
    You have been assigned the task 'Zhizsa Cipher'.
    Chief Librarian Lars says, 'Centuries ago, before our war with the Shissar, a few librarians worked in the Zhisza habitat and had many journals and valuable publications. However, when the war occurred many of the librarians were slain and many of these valuable articles were lost. Go to Zhisza and acquire some of our most valuable journals and return them to us.'

    Key word is "Books" to get the task from Lars.

    You have the task name right.

    Task text - Chielf Librarian Lars has asked you to find the two halves of a cipher used by the shissar and bring them to him. He believes that the cipher is most likely held by the higher ranking shissar inside the temple.

    The 2 cipher haves are rare drops from red con "a temple patroller" and "a temple deathcaller" inside the temple in Zhizsa.

    There are no instances, just normal zone.

    Reward is faction with merchants (like all the other tasks), xp, and the "Worn Pottery Piece" for the Tsaph Katta Urn quest.
