Oh Brother		Greeting Text You know, my brother, the Surgeon, has never forgiven me for abandoning traditional medicine. He still believes in the old ways, as if stitching up the body can heal the soul—curses, for example. I learned that lesson too late. Our mother died in agony, and I was powerless to help. That's when alchemy called to me—its promise of real power, of true healing. I need these potions, not just for myself, but to show him the way forward. He'll see the truth eventually... even if I have to make him understand the hard way. Completion Text Good. This is only the beginning, but it's a step in the right direction. My brother's methods are futile, bound by the limitations of the past. Alchemy has no such boundaries. I can feel it working already. The potions, the combinations—each one brings us closer to something greater. He may not see it now, but I will show him the power we could wield if he just opened his eyes.

The Kobold's Chemistry	Complete Quest: "Oh Brother"	Greeting Text I've always been intrigued by the Ice Kobolds. Their adaptability, their strange tenacity... it's more than mere survival—it's something we can learn from. Their biology, their resistance to the cold, could unlock new alchemical properties. What I need from you is to search their territory—there may be something in their environment, or even within their own flesh, we can use. Their blood, their marrow, perhaps even their mucus. Completion Text Excellent. What you've uncovered is fascinating. The Kobolds are far more than just beasts—they're carriers of hidden potential. This reminds me of another experiment I need to conduct. Visit me when you have the time.

More Than Meets the Eye	Complete Quest: "The Kobold's Chemistry"	Greeting Text You've heard of the Frost Wolves, no doubt. The rumors say they're guarding something precious, but I believe there's more to it. My work with potions and alchemy has taught me that nothing is ever as simple as it seems. These wolves are just another puzzle to solve. I need you to investigate what they're keeping from us. If there's something powerful hidden away, it could hold the answers to many questions... perhaps even questions I never wanted to ask. Completion Text Impressive. You've uncovered more than I anticipated. The wolves were indeed guarding something of great value, something that could aid my studies. As I suspected, there's more to this world than science can explain. You've done well, but we're not finished. I'll need time to study what you found—come back when I've made some progress.

The longer we wait, the larger the undead horde will become... I need you to get rid of as many as you can. Please, hurry before this spirals out of control! Completion Text Thanks for taking care of that mess for me... I was beginning to think I might have gone too far with that last experiment. Here, these should cover any trouble I caused you.

Secrets and Vermin	Complete Quest: "Death Awakens"	Greeting Text There are rumors that some of the statues among the ruins can be manipulated. I would be grateful if you could investigate the secrets hidden within them. And while you're at it, could you also deal with the giant worms? Those disgusting creatures devour everything in their path—including my alchemical ingredients. Completion Text So the rumors were true! A hidden lever—how fascinating. The ruins still hold many secrets beyond our understanding. Ah, and thank you for dealing with the worms. Those wretched creatures are of no benefit to our lives—especially the larger ones!

Chapter: Echoes Of The Damned Collapse
Quest	Prerequisites	*NarrativeBold indicates intentional miss-spellings to replicate the text in game	*Task(s)Items need to be looted unless specified otherwise.	Rewards
Tongue Twister		Greeting Text The whispers are growing louder, their cadence sharp and desperate, yet they remain beyond our grasp. The dead do not merely wish to be heard—they crave a voice to speak through. To bridge the chasm between our realm and theirs, we must bind the tangible to the ethereal. The tongue of a mimic, that vile creature born of deception, holds the power to weave words across worlds. Seek out one of these lurking horrors, wrest its tongue from its snapping maw, and bring it to me. Only then can we compel the dead to answer. Completion Text Ah, the mimic's tongue... slick with malice, yet brimming with potential. Its grotesque vitality pulses in my hands—a perfect conduit. Stand close, adventurer, and witness the veil parting. The afflicted bear runes etched into their flesh, their tongues torn from their mouths. They become husks—empty, their will consumed, and soon, they die, as though they were never truly alive. The dead have spoken. Darkness stirs, adventurer—press on, for the truth will demand its due.

Premonitions of the Unknown	Complete Quest: "Tongue Twister"	Greeting Text The threads of fate twist and knot, veiling truths beyond our mortal sight. I have glimpsed a shadow, vast and formless, threatening to engulf the fragile balance of our world. Yet, my visions falter, shrouded in mist. We need a catalyst—something to pierce the veil. Deep within the cursed woods, the dire wolves prowl, their eyes glinting with unnatural light. One of their eyes must be extracted while the warmth of life still lingers—a gruesome act, but necessary. Bring me this eyeball, stained by blood, and together we shall unravel the first strand of this enigma. Completion Text Yes... the eye still gleams, its surface slick with gore. The blood of the beast has yet to dry—good. Its essence still thrums with the arcane. But as I gaze into its depths, the vision remains fractured, like shattered glass. The truth hides still, clawing at the edges of perception. Stay close, adventurer—the unknown awaits us.	Fetch Blue Eyeballs (any rarity) (1x)	30 Unique Gold Coin 1 Random Rare Armor 25 Experience
Voices of the Dead	Complete Quest: "Premonitions of the Unknown"	Greeting Text The eye failed us; its vision clouded... Sight has betrayed me, adventurer, but perhaps sound will not. The voices of the dead echo faintly, yearning to be heard. Deep within the caverns, the giant bats dwell, their ears attuned to the faintest of vibrations, even those that ripple from the beyond. Sever one ear from these shadowed predators—bloodied and raw—and bring it to me. Only then may we align with the spectral murmurs that seek to guide us. Completion Text You've done well. The ear still hums with unnatural resonance, as though it drinks in the very silence around us. Already, I feel the faint touch of voices long silenced, brushing against my thoughts. Yet, their message remains indistinct, a riddle without form. The connection must be strengthened, for the dead demand more than mere listening—they will soon seek communion. May the stars align in our favor.	Fetch Giant Bat Ear (any rarity) (1x)	30 Unique Gold Coin 1 Random Rare Weapon 40 Experience 25 Affinity

But those stinking green-skins turned their noses up at it, calling it ‘disgusting'! Ha! Fine, now they're gonna taste gobbo's fury at full strength!
