Saga Of The Dominator (77)

Welcome, young Overlord!%% Have you heard of the recent goings-on among the six Orc tribes? [Quest _077_SagaOfTheDominator 0-1|"No! Please, go on."]

Although you have what it takes to be a king, you should go and get stronger. Authority without power is meaningless! (Only a character of level 76 may transfer class. Don't abandon the quest before class transfer is complete!)

Flame Lord Kakai has amazing powers, but even they aren't enough alone! I have great hopes for you, but you're not ready yet. (This quest may only be undertaken by an Overlord of level 76 or above.)

Flame Lord Kakai has truly amazing power! Without him we would never survive the endless winter! But alas, he has no successor. If he dies now, who will save us?%% Overlords are quite rare in these parts. Among them, those worthy of becoming king are even fewer! I've lost touch with Cardia of the Hestui tribe and Ak...

All I could find out from the Dudamara was where Flame Successor Akkan may be headed! Please go after him, my Overlord! I've heard that a Ketra Orc Messenger of the Betrayer Lesser Orcs has met with him. You must find Akkan!

In the beginning, the six Orc tribes were equal. Over time, the Hestuis rose to prominence, and the other tribes began following them. The Atubas were in charge of raising Warriors, the Dudamaras were in charge of Khavatari and the Hestui tribe performed all the rituals for the ancestors. Now, with the endless winte...

Thank you, Overlord! Although you couldn't find Atlus of the Gandi tribe, thanks to you, Flame Successor Akkan has returned to us!%% Let me tell you one more thing. Your success means that you've completed the Pilgrimage of the King! No one's done that since ancient times! [Quest _077_SagaOfTheDominator 0-2|"No big...

According to historical documents, whoever completes the Pilgrimage of the King obtains the right to rule! Flame Successor Akkan has recommended that you become one of the successors of the sacred flame! Of course, this doesn't mean that you could be king, but at least now you stand a better chance of becoming a chi...

You now have the opportunity to become a ruler.%% Flame Successor Akkan has recommended you personally to Flame Lord Kakai! You'll be right at the top with Akkan and Cardia, my friend! Why don't you go try to get a little stronger? (Only a character of level 76 may transfer class. Do not abandon the quest before cla...

According to the Dudamara, you have what it takes to rule a tribe.%% Act accordingly!

Bitter Cold Vodka? Isn't that the Orcish liquor made by mixing the flames of Paagrio with the power of 99 dead spirits? You can't just ask me to make such a.... [Quest _077_SagaOfTheDominator 1-3| "Well you see, it's like this..."]

Genuine Bitter Cold Vodka is practically impossible to make, but I can get pretty close!%% I'll need a divine ingredient known as an ice crystal. Chef Jeremy can tell you where to find one.%% I can't make Bitter Cold Vodka without it!

You brought the ice crystal! Excellent!%% Now I'll make the Bitter Cold Vodka. I must warn you, the power of the spirits within the liquor is not that strong, and over time, it loses its effect. Will that be acceptable? [Quest _077_SagaOfTheDominator 1-4|"That's OK."]

Take the vodka at the absolute zero point, and return to Ketra's Messenger Wahkan.

Hmm... if that's what you want, I'll do it. I should able to get pretty close to the original!%% It will work for a simple ritual, but not in a formal religious rite.%% I must have a divine ingredient known as an ice crystal. Chef Jeremy can tell you where to find one. I can't make Bitter Cold Vodka without it.

Okay, then.%% Here it is! Take this, and return to Ketra's Messenger Wahkan. It should work fine!

You hear angry screams and the sounds of battle.%% The power of a tyrant is present here.%% The tablet is before your eyes. [Quest _077_SagaOfTheDominator 10-1|Step closer.]

Darkness surrounds the king who is not king. Flame Successor Akkan rules the kingdom in all but name.

The tablet is still and dark.%% Akkan turns this way and smiles.

There is someone else here.%% You hear fighting.

The Stone of Commune emits light as you approach. [Quest _077_SagaOfTheDominator 10-2|Commune with the Tablet of Vision.]

Great knowledge rushes into your mind. You hear the sound of distant laughter.%% A voice whispers, "Another Hero is born."%% A lady in blue answers, "No, he's just beginning. I can't give him much power yet, but he conjured the soul himself and filled my brother's vacancy."%% As the power of a king rises, so does th...

Further communion with this tablet would be futile. Everything has been solved! Speak with Rahorakti in Rune Castle Town.

Tejakar Paagrio!%% You returned! Flame Successor Akkan has learned that the greater your deeds are, the darker your shadow is.%% Wisdom and strength are not the only qualities of a king. What do you think it means to be a king? [Quest _077_SagaOfTheDominator 11-9|"What did Akkan say?"]

Find the Archon of Halisha inside the Four Sepulchers at the Human Imperial Tomb.%% If entering is too difficult, go to the Shrine of the Loyal and fight Halisha's minions. He'll show up if you kill enough of them!%% Defeat him and get the Stone of Commune.

Follow him to get to the truth. You must find the Stone of Commune.%% The power of the king that you seek was created by the gods, but stolen by devils.%% Find the* Archon of Halisha* inside the Four Sepulchers at the Human Imperial Tomb!%% If entering is too difficult, go to the Shrine of the Loyal and fight Halish...

Does your visit have anything to do with the Flame Successor who recently passed by? [Quest _077_SagaOfTheDominator 2-1|"Do you know him?"]

Not done yet? Find Master Chef Donath.

Our chief shaman uses something similar to perform a ritual, but what you have clearly has more divine power!%% The Flame Successor is one of very few Orcs who has the qualities of a king! [Quest _077_SagaOfTheDominator 2-2|"What are the qualities?"]

Take the stone to the south of the Tower of Insolence! That's all we know of the King's journeys.

Want to know more, huh?%% First do me a favor! Bring me the* Bitter Cold Vodka* that the 6 Noble Orcs stole to dedicate to the 99 souls. You must not be caught by the Lord of Flame!%% Meet Master Chef Donath in the northern hot springs area.

An Overlord should know about the qualities of a King! It's not about the power.%% There are so many cultures lost because of the Humans. You must look beyond your roots to understand.%% Despite our long bloodlines, the Orc Kingdom is descended from you, the family of flame! This sacred stone of vision holds the mys...

The spidersilk of Duda-Mara told me you would come.%% We will meet again, but you must do something first. [Quest _077_SagaOfTheDominator 3-5|"What is it?"]

Go to the Ketra Orc outpost and see Messenger Wahkan. Gain their trust by lending your strength.%% Show the spirit of a warrior!%% If you feel betrayed, there is another way.

Meet Varka's Messenger Naran Ashanuk in the Varka Silenos stronghold. Gain their trust by lending your strength!%% To fight the betrayer Orcs is the spirit of a warrior!%% If your suffering is too great, there is another way!

Warrior, you must bring the Divine Stone of Wisdom! To get it you must choose sides in this war. Find Messenger Wahkan of the Ketra Orcs or Messenger Naran Ashanuk of the Varka Silenos.

Warrior, you have shown the qualities of a king and passed the test by getting the Divine Stone of Wisdom!%% Don't forget the people you helped or the blood you spilled. Never forget that Duda-Mara's spidersilk protects you.%% Hand me the stone! [Quest _077_SagaOfTheDominator 3-8|"Here's the stone."]

Go to the northe of the Varka Silenos Barracks and commune with the Tablet!

You'd be called a king if you had a throne!%% Here is your test. The Ketra Orcs, a lower race who betrayed us long ago, and the Varka Silenos are at war. They each have a* Divine Stone of Wisdom*, but you must earn their absolute trust to get it.%% Bring either stone to pass the test.%% Which side do you choose? [Qu...

Hear my words Soul that is contained within the stone! Wake up and restore the power of the Stone of Commune!%% The one who has the quality of a king, receive this Stone of Commune you restored! Go to the Tablet in the north of the Varka Silenos Barracks and tell it what you have done! The Eternal Flame is watching...

At last, someone to help me deal with that despot!

My older sister Cardia told me long ago that she wasn't fit to be queen.%% Now I know why! I'll never forget what I felt during those fights! I'm not sure what's coming next, but at least I know myself!%% Take this Stone of Commune, you'll need it on your pilgrimage. Now I must return to Flame Lord Kakai. Goodbye fo...

My elder sister Cardia told me long ago she wasn't fit to be queen.%% I can't say exactly what's next, but now I know how big my vessel is!%% You'll need this Stone of Commune for the Pilgrimage of the King. Now I must return to Flame Lord Kakai. Goodbye for now!

That man is a despot! If you don't leave, you might be sacrificed!

I can't let this go. I need some help dealing with this despot.

I can't pretend I don't know anything like that old man of Elmore did. By Atlus of Gandi, I also won't be like Hallate, who said he saw something when he didn't! I must be of sound mind for the upcoming winter! Help me defeat him!

This is not your fight! I command you to leave!

Thanks to you, I defeated the despot!%% I now know what I must do. [Quest _077_SagaOfTheDominator 4-1|"What?"]

Thanks, you saved my life!%% Now I know what I must do. [Quest _077_SagaOfTheDominator 4-2| "What?"]

You haven't finished the Pilgrimage of the King yet?%% Use the Stone of Commune to find the stone tablet.

You haven't finished the Pilgrimage of the King yet?%% Use the Stone of Commune to find the stone tablet.

The Stone of Commune starts emitting light as soon as you near the Tablet of Vision. [Quest _077_SagaOfTheDominator 5-1|Commune with the Tablet of Vision.]

Countless thoughts beyond comprehension sear painfully into your brain. A female voice seems to float on by as if the wind were singing...%% You sense that the next Stone of Commune is held by many warriors in a place south of the Valley of Saints.

Further communion with this tablet is futile. The Guardians of Forbidden Knowledge have the next Stone of Commune in the south of the Valley of Saints. Kill the guardians and take their stone!

The hieroglyphs on the tablet are indecipherable. Retrieve the Stone of Commune from the Guardians of Forbidden Knowledge.

Further communion with this tablet is futile.%% Kill Atrus of the Gandi tribe and take her Stone of Commune! You'll find her near the Ketra Orc Outpost.

As you near the Tablet of Vision, you sense the presence of the one who sought ultimate power by currying the favor of the King. It's the tyrant!%% He smiles smugly while rubbing the Stone of Commune. [Quest _077_SagaOfTheDominator 7-1|"Fight, you rascal!"]

Overlord Atrus has no more qualities of a king than any common Orc! He's no more than a tyrant!

The tablet is engraved with indecipherable hieroglyphs.%% Atrus's offensive continues!

You sense a disturbance near the Tablet of Vision.%% The time has not yet come for you to prove yourself.

His inability to discern right from wrong has already led to needless deaths. In an epic battle between light and darkness, the King seems to be a...

Further communion with this tablet would be pointless at this time.%% Speak with Seer Skahi in Goddard Castle Town.

The tablet is still and dark.%% The Stone of Commune that can access this tablet may be obtained at the Imperial Tomb or the Shrine of the Loyal.
