Lore & Dialog
Balior tells you, "A human entrant? Perhaps you are the one who can help.  The sanctity of the Collegium Occultus has been violated, and my master has not responded.  I discovered a broken seal that signals the presence of intruders." Balior tells you, "Please take this broken seal and bring it to a knowledgeable Empyrean. In the absence of my master, I believe the only other extant Empyrean in Ireth Lassel is one who has secluded himself in a cave, in the northern mountains of the island.  Bring the Broken Occultus Seal to that one, human." Balior gives you Broken Occultus Seal.

Balior tells you, "Time is precious, human. Please bring the Broken Occultus Seal to a knowledgeable Empyrean.  As I said, I believe the one I seek makes his home in a cave in the northern mountains of this Ireth Lassel."

You give Roderick Broken Occultus Seal. Roderick tells you, "Harlune told me that this might be a signal that there are intruders in Knorr. Ya gotta go to the golem Balior and help it out.  Bring somethin' back to me and I'll see what I can do."

Balior tells you, "I am grateful that you found the one that you call Harlune and alerted him to the danger. Now you must take up arms against the intruders in the Collegium Occultus." Balior tells you, "Go through this portal and seek out the one called Master Malsivir. He has looted a very dangerous artifact from the Collegium called the Void Crystal. There is no telling what kind of catastrophe could result if such foolish and short-sighted beings abused its powers."

Balior tells you, "We have spoken, but you do not yet have the Void Crystal. Why do you delay?  I can wait millennia to receive the crystal, but your short-lived kind have only fleeting moments in which to achieve their goals" Balior tells you, "Surely the trespassers within the Collegium Occultus are moving quickly to achieve their own ends."

Balior tells you, "You have retrieved the crystal from the human despoiler. Please, give it to me." You give Balior Void Crystal. Balior tells you, "This is the artifact that was sought. I am empowered to reward you for this effort.  But I cannot serve as the crystal's guardian.  Please bring the crystal to Harlune.  It has become his responsibility to safeguard the artifact." You've earned 9,000,000 experience. Balior gives you Void Crystal. Balior tells you, "Please bring the Void Crystal to Harlune, the sole Empyrean currently extant on Ireth Lassel."

You give Roderick Void Crystal. Roderick tells you, "Oh, yeah - Harlune told me what this is. I'll pass it along to him.  He left word somethin' like this might appear.  I'll pass it up, and Harlune'll keep it safe." Roderick tells you, "Here's a reward for ya. Harlune didn't tell me where he got it from, so don't ask me!" Roderick gives you Collegium Occultus Ring.

Retired Text Harlune the Misanthrope tells you, "You best not have done anything to Alfrega, if you know what's good for you..." You give Harlune the Misanthrope Broken Occultus Seal. Harlune the Misanthrope tells you, "Zounds! This broken seal can only mean that there are intruders in... Welll [sic], never mind. You must go back to the Golem Balior in Knorr and help it with whatever it asks you to do." Harlune the Misanthrope tells you, "No doubt it will be a secret and sensitive task. Be discreet. I won't mention this to you again, until you return with some sign from Balior that you have helped."

Harlune the Misanthrope tells you, "Go away! And don't tell Asheron I'm down here! Never could stand the man..." You give Harlune the Misanthrope Void Crystal. Harlune the Misanthrope tells you, "Oh ho! So Balior is passing the hot potato to me! That fussy old Golem was always a little too eager to remind people of their duties. Well, it is technically correct. If the Collegium Occultus has been compromised, a Golem cannot be relied upon to protect this thing." Harlune the Misanthrope tells you, "I suppose I must hang on to it and keep it out of that blue-skinned devil's clutches until, uh... Well, for a while. Thanks, youngster." Harlune the Misanthrope gives you Collegium Occultus Ring. Harlune the Misanthrope tells you, "I know, I ought to reward you for all your hard work, and lugging this thing back to me... What's this I have in my pocket? There you go. Enjoy. Where did I get such a thing, you ask? Ask me no questions and I'll tell you no lies."
