Corruption's Source
"Down twisting tunnels, through crystal-lined caverns, lies the source of the corrupted sarrowstones. As ancient evil cracks apart and decays a new threat bubbles forth, whispering poisoned words to its maddened worshippers."

Background

Deep in the ground, in crystal-laden, fetid pools, an ancient evil spreads corruption.

Objective 1

Lore-master Rúni waits for you by the falls in western Clovengap.

You should talk to Rúni.

Rúni: 'See yonder waterfall? The madman's journal says that behind it lies the entrance to a cave. It is from here that the sarrowstones are harvested. This is the source of the corruption, friend! I would come to help you, but as you know, I am useless with weapons. I shall be right behind you, however! Good luck!
'Ah, I nearly forgot! Take the candle with you! The journal says that by its light, the way shall be revealed.'

Objective 2

Objective 4

  • Find the secret tunnel

The secret tunnel is within the crystal cave, Min Návaid.
