Carlo di Cenza's Journal

Quest Overview
Semi-retired quest that involves collecting 10 pages of the Halaetan Magic book from various creatures and locations. Originally the completed Halaetan Magic book could be returned to Carlo di Cenza in Rithwic and he then gave you a Viamontian related item. That item could then be taken to Antius Blackmoor in Yaraq for experience, who at that time was investigating into a possible Viamontian invasion. Carlo was later taken into custody by Elysa, and Antius was killed by the former commander of the Tethena forces turned augmented knight, Jared Kurth. While the pages can still be collected and the book assembled, both NPCs for the quest are retired.

If there are Viamontians on Dereth, and if they are hiding from the Queen, then we may have a great deal of trouble ahead of us." Antius Blackmoor tells you, "Do what you can. Scour the continent.
