CHAPTER NINE: KITH KHANAAN'S LEGACY

In this penultimate chapter, you get many revelations about the Overlords, and their true plans which consist of bringing about a second Lankharh empire and revive the dreaded Mind Lords which used to rule the first Lankharh empire. You also get to retrieve potent magic items to help you face the Overlords, along with a very powerful ally, thus setting you up for the final Chapter of the story.

 

1) In Tanirith, accept the job to kill Pyrostorm, from Adventurers Inc. (thus insuring yet more extra revenues!).

 

2) Go to Lantharond, and enter the Great Wyrm tavern. As you enter, a man will try to sell you maps: buy them (or not). Then go speak to the old druid at x82y36 and accept to help him retrieve some mistletoe for him (the huge oak tree he speaks about is located at x88y19 on the easternmost island from Lantharond). Bring him back the mistletoe and he'll give you info and maps useful for the rest of the story (some of these maps you may have already found, bought, or were given to).

 

3) Go to the Volcanic rockies using the great tunnel at x43y3 northwest of Lantharond. In the rockies, go to Pyrostorm's lair at x51y58 and fight it out with his family. One of the red dragon will still live after the battle and offer you to fly the lot of you to where the Overlords have forced her sire (Pyrostorm) to remain. Accept, and she'll take you right in front of the entrance to Kith Khanaan's tomb! Alternatively, refuse and finish her off, then walk all the way to the lava crater. There, hit the encounter button and cast phase/teleport (or use item with similar powers) to get you to the other side of the crater. Then walk all the way to the cave which leads ot Kith's tomb (the cave is flanked by to crumbling columns of marble). Enter the cave and fight it out with ole Pyrostorm himself (who's being mentally compelled by the Overlords to prevent any intruders from entering), and then walk through the bronze portal at x78y17 to enter Kith's tomb.

 

4) Inside Kith's tomb: after dealing with the guarding statues in the lobby, walk to the door at x35y9, which has a side-panel with a handprint on it. If you have Naryl with you, she'll put her hand on the handprint and the door will open; this will coax her to allow you to play "Thousand Questions to Naryl" for all the info you ever wanted to know on Keryndorh, the Overlords, Lankharh, the Mind Lords, etc. If Naryl is not there, then cast destroy magic until it works, and the door will open. Then walk to x37y9 with a detect secret spell on: this will reveal a secret door. Pull the lever at x37y6 (thus getting rid of the lava which is barring your way further east). Enter the tomb proper at x43y9, and open the sarcophagus at x46y9. Psi-warriors will appear as a last-ditch attempt to prevent you from discovering what lies in the place. Deal with them and take all the items found on Kith's remains. If Naryl is with you, then walk to the column at x47y9 and retrieve Kith's talisman: this talisman holds Kith Khanaan's essence (if you don't have Naryl, then don't bother: you can't get Kith's talisman). Once you have it, just click on it to activate the thing: you'll have an interesting encounter with Kith (who is a Mind Lord, but a good one) and he will accept Naryl's offer to "possess" her in order to help you defeat the Overlords. At that, Naryl Dragonstone will be replaced by Naryl Thezzat (Naryl's true name, but quite empowered by Kith's essence).Then get out of the tomb, and walk all the way back to the lava crater. There, hit the encounter button and cast phase/teleport (or use item with similar powers) to get you to the other side of the crater. Then get out of the Volcanic Rockies and return to Tanirith to collect your reward for killing Pyrostorm (if you took the job from Adv. Inc.).

 

Voila! You are now prime and ready for the final confrontation of Chapter Ten!
