Lady Aerfalle Quest

Quest Overview

 * This quest requires Lockpick and is quite complex, be sure you understand the different versions before starting. The uber version is limited to a single fellowship of 150+ players.
 * If leading a group, the first portions of the quest can be completed solo. Everyone must be present when the Relic Watchman is killed to enter Aerfalle's Keep.

Note: There is a separate 20 hour timer for the Ashen Key, Ornate Ashen Key, and Embossed Ashen Key so you can do different versions without having to wait out the timer.

Part 1: Preparation
These steps can be done alone or with a smaller group, there are no rewards and participation is not essential to being a part of the later sections of this quest.
 * 1) Go to Crater Caves Dungeon at 66.7N 12.5E.  At the bottom of the dungeon near the forges take the Pyreal Forge Bellows laying on the ground.
 * 2) * Tip: See Crater Lake Village for route.
 * 3) Travel to Aerlinthe island by handing a D Note to Garaena the Emissary at 87.6S, 65.6W, just East of Candeth Keep.
 * 4) * Note: You can also hand a C Note to Faladha the Emissary, an undead NPC located inside Chalicmere Castle or use the Aerlinthe Recall spell if you have completed the Lady Aerfalle quest before.
 * 5) From Aerlinthe Island, follow the inner harbor beach around to the harbor's northwest corner (87.7N 44.4E). Go due west up the slope to 88.0N 43.4E then follow the ledge that wraps around the mountain to the north and enter the Tenkarrdun Foundry at 88.8N 42.8E.
 * 6) Retrieve the Sluice Gate Bar from the Foundry. Lockpick is required.
 * 7) * Note: See map for location of the Sluice Gate Bar.
 * 8) * Tip: You can take any surface portal to exit the dungeon with the bar, however one portal in particular drops at 88.6N 42.4E, near your next destination (see map for portal's location).
 * 9) Run to the Aerlinthe Reservoir at 85.5N 43.4E.
 * 10) On the way down, stop and pick up one Sacrificial Dagger if you will be doing the standard/low version of the quest. It is behind a locked door just before you get to the large downward sloping room. Only one person needs to pick up a dagger and if you are doing the high version it is not needed at all. Most people pick it up just in case.
 * 11) At the bottom of the reservoir behind a locked door (322) is a portal to the Aerlinthe Lower Reservoir, use this portal.
 * 12) Run to the bottom of the Lower Reservoir and hand the Sluice Gate Bar to the Repair Golem. If the golem is NOT there, that means the quest is in progress, or someone has killed the watchman within the last 3 hours.
 * The golem turns and fuses the bar into the Sluice Gate. Somewhere below, you feel a grinding vibration through the ground... The fires of Tenkarrdun have been redirected to the ancient Yalaini forges.
 * 1) * Tip: There is an important jump near the end, when you come to a shaft facing west. There is a small grate you need to hit or you'll fall to the very bottom of the shaft and there is no way back except running back to the dungeon from Aerlinthe drop. To hit the grate, jump normally towards the SW corner of the shaft, you'll slide down the corner and hit the grate.
 * 2) Back up onto the ramp next to the Repair Golem and jump through the left wall opening to get to the exit portal. This officially starts the quest and causes the Smithing Golem to spawn.
 * 3) Run back to the Tenkarrdun Foundry and at the very end give the Pyreal Forge Bellows to the Smithing Golem. Retrace your steps (use floor lever to reopen door) and use the exit portal in the broken bridge room.
 * The golem, obeying ancient directives, turns and ignites the forges. Far below you, a tremor runs through the earth. The decayed machinery groans, shivers, and grinds quickly to a halt. Mount Tenkarrdun has become active again!

Part 2: Infusions and Relic Town
Because nine infusions drop on each hellfire, it's common for the entire group going on the quest to begin together at this point although it is not necessary for people to join the group until Relic Town.
 * 1) Handing the bellows causes the Tenkarrdun Hellfire to spawn after 5-10 minutes near 90.3N 46.3E. Kill the Hellfire and loot a Red Fire Infusion. Killing this Hellfire causes the Relic Watchman spawn check to begin, and the Mount Esper Firestorm to spawn. Killing the Mount Esper Firestorm will then cause the Mount Lethe Hellfire to spawn. Most people go directly to Relic Town at this point to do the keep. If you main goal is just to get the infusions, you can do the Mount Esper and Mount Lethe infusions now to avoid having someone else kill them before you get there. (If you do this, be sure to go to relic town afterwards to kill the watchman even if you don't go into the keep, this allows the quest to reset properly for the next person).
 * 2) [Optional] Just south of the Hellfire spawn is the spawn spot for the Behemoth of Tenkarrdun at 90.0N 46.3E. The spawn is independent so it may or may not be there right away.
 * 3) [Optional] The Mount Esper Firestorm is located at 66.0N 13.0E in the middle of Crater Lake and drops the White Fire Infusion.
 * 4) [Optional] The Mount Lethe Hellfire is located at 34.4S 84.9W in the middle of the Mount Lethe crater and drops the Blue Fire Infusion.
 * 5) Go to Relic Town with your entire group to kill the watchman. The portal to Aerfalle Keep opens at 86.4N 45.4E upon the death of the Relic Watchman. The watchman normally spawns nearby, but can spawn anywhere in the town. Like the Behemoth the spawn is random (~10% per minute). So sometimes he appears quickly, but sometimes it takes a while. NOTE: The Behemoth drops only --1-- Black Boulder; only one person will be able to get a Black Fire stone per spawn.

Part 3: Aerlinthe Keep and Lady Aerfalle

 * Note 1: Lockpick is required for this part
 * Note 2: In order to get the main rewards everyone needs to be at Relic Town when the portal opens.
 * Note 3: A five minute portal opens upon the death of the Relic Watchman that leads to Aerfalle Keep. Once you take this portal you have 90 minutes to complete the quest.

 * 1) Go down the the NE room of Aerfalle Keep where Lady Aerfalle normally appears. There will be a portal to Aerfalle's Sanctum. Use the portal (it cannot be walked through) to enter the sanctum.
 * 2) The dungeon is no log, if you log out or disconnect you will be sent to your lifestone and will be unable to rejoin the quest.
 * 3) The dungeon has several side routes that are dead ends, you want to get to a jump that leads down to a room with Lady Aerfalle.
 * 4) Note: Lady Aerfalle is high health and many debuffs. She also counter-vulns and dispells, so you should use rends.
 * 5) Kill Lady aerfalle and loot an Embossed Ashen Key (drops 9), and Lady Aerfalle's Charm (drops 9) from her corpse.
 * 6) Take the hallway behind her, and hand Lady Aerfalle's Charm to the Ghost of Galaeral.
 * 7) * Note: Ghost of Galaeral despawn after 5 min so be sure to turn in right away.

Ghost of Galaeral
Ghost of Galaeral tells you, "The songs of my sisters echo across eternity and I am left to rot; bound through the arts of ill-wind taught by sisters who had fallen to the call of the twisted dark. Thousands of years bound against my will to a tether not of my making, bereft of power and ability to purchase a final release, I have waited and watched within the walls of this prison." Ghost of Galaeral tells you, "The skein of her life now draws taut as she is stirred to action, re-exerting her command over these halls and drawing on the lives of those she once imprisoned. Through the countless years, most that were bound here against their will have become lost and slipped into madness, the echo of their lives now scattered dust and formless agony. Not I." Ghost of Galaeral tells you, "I recall the device, the tool used to pull the blood of my heart into a vessel that held my precious vitae long enough to rip free my soul and lock it within the walls of this keep, evermore a servant to her will. But my years of servitude draw near an end, and through the voices of elder sisters who sang to the deep and refused to sell our secrets to the Dericost, I am given a moment of clarity to find my freedom. Yet the walls ever remain my prison." Ghost of Galaeral tells you, "Aerfalle has changed. She has grown her flesh anew and taken the glamour of her youth. But all this imagery is false. She risks more power at the cost of those bound in these halls. My fallen sisters seek not redemption, but through their folly they will give me mine. Aerfalle's strength lies in tunnels long crushed by the weight of time, halls within this keep that you cannot traverse, halls which I can still travel." Ghost of Galaeral tells you, "But I cannot lessen her strength without an instrument of sacrifice. The blade that drew my heart's blood must be used to stab at her crusted heart and weaken her strength." Ghost of Galaeral tells you, "Bring me the dagger and I shall take my revenge and aid you in her destruction."

Handing in Ashbane
In your mind, a soft voice sighs, "Disturb me not... Travel past this hole in the earth." You give Leikotha Ashbane. Leikotha releases a dry, rasping gasp. Leikotha tells you, "Ashbane... mine own sword." Leikotha examines her sword, feeling the weight of the blade in her hands. Leikotha tells you, "I had dropped this on the hill of Ayn Tayan... My rage had so blinded me. Ferah, had played me for the fool..." Leikotha tells you, "Spinning lies in my mind..." Leikotha tells you, "What I did..." A sound slowly builds within Leikotha, until finally an unearthly scream emanates from her. You feel the din about to deafen you when the scream stops. Leikotha tells you, "Why... why..." Leikotha stares silently at the blade of the sword. Leikotha tells you, "How... where... ai, thy mind tells me that thou has found in one of Aerfalle's caches. Foul magus that she is. I shall reward thee for thy efforts." You've earned 13,765,337 experience.
