 * 2) * Route: From Rithwic, take the Isparian Flame Estates portal at 8.7N, 60.9E.
 * 3) From the entrance, head down the ramp, go straight through the 4-way intersection and then take a right at the wishbone split.
 * 4) Work your way through the dungeon until you reach a large room with Archon Merille in it.
 * 5)  [OPTIONAL]  Kill Archon Merille and loot the High Archon Kraest's Instructions from her corpse.
 * 6) Continue past the room and take a right at the next split.
 * 7) * Note: From here the dungeon becomes rather symmetrical, continue heading North.
 * 8) Work your way until you reach a locked Outer Locked Gate (600 Diff), where you'll find a shadow named Dealith.  Kill him and loot the Outer Locked Gate Key.
 * 9) *  [OPTIONAL]  Dealith also drops a Sticky Lump, for lore purposes only.
 * 10) Use the key to open the gate, and continue until you reach another locked gate.  This time you must kill Faurset and loot the Middle Locked Gate Key from his corpse.
 * 11) Again, use the key to open the gate and continue until you reach another locked gate.  This time you must kill Liantor and loot the Inner Locked Gate Key from his corpse.
 * 12) Now, work your way through a series of Mukkir until you reach a dead end room.  Clear it out and wait just a moment for Targor, the boss, to spawn.
 * 13) Kill Targor and loot a Frozen Black Crystal from its corpse (he drops 10).
 * 14) Return the Frozen Black Crystal to Riordin Nightbane in Wai Jhou for XP and the Necklace of the Golden Flame.

Lore & Dialog
You allow Sarkin Killcrane to examine your Frozen Black Crystal. Sarkin Killcrane tells you, "A crystal fragment from Targor? Give that to Riordin, over there.  He is collecting the pieces for our associates in the Order."

Message on Targor's death You hear a voice in your mind, screaming with agony. You can barely make out the thought, "Master! Protect me!!" At the same time, you hear a sound like shattering crystal.

You give Riordin Nightbane Frozen Black Crystal. Riordin Nightbane tells you, "Ahh, a frozen crystal shard. The mages in the Order have had some luck with figuring out what this was.  It seems that this is a fragment of some sort of Totem, similar to the Ice Totems built by the Ruschk." Riordin Nightbane tells you, "We haven't been able to reconstruct the totem yet, as the pieces are small and badly damaged, but we are hoping to collect enough pieces to reconstruct at least one complete totem." Riordin Nightbane tells you, "It is our hope to use this totem to learn more about the Mukkir, and possibly make a weapon against them." Riordin Nightbane tells you, "It was a great risk and noble act that you undertook in acquiring this crystal and bringing it here. Sarkin has given me these medallions to award to those whom have aided us in this." You've earned 29,175,981 experience. Riordin Nightbane gives you Necklace of the Golden Flame.
