You say, 'Hail, Emissary of Druzzil.'

Emissary of Druzzil says 'Greetings ______. I was sent by my mistress to search out those Norrathians that would have the power to assist her. You look as though you may be able to with stand some of the forces of my home. Perhaps you would be interested in accepting her [proposition]?'

You say, 'Proposition?'

Emissary of Druzzil says 'Druzzil Ro is seeking the most powerful of this realm to assist her in a rather troubling disturbance. If you are [interested] though, you will need to speak with her yourself. I am unable to say more on the subject.'

You say, 'I am interested.'

Emissary of Druzzil says 'Take this crystal with you when you speak with Druzzil. It will show you have spoken with me and she will tell you more of this disturbance. I must warn you though, only those that have proven capable of enduring the work of Druzzil will be allowed to speak with her. Once you enter the Plane of Magic, seek out Apprentice Mage Sarcrynn. He will be able to direct you further.'

Receive Shard of Mana.

ONLY RAIDLEADER NEED THIS to TRIGGER DAOSHEEN:
Find Apprentice Mage Sarcrynn in Arcstone at location +130, -1040, +400 (he may wander a bit, so wait there). Speak with him, and you will be assigned the task Entrance to Daosheen's Chamber. Completing this task is required in order to request Daosheen the Firstborn [Raid] from Or`Sarro the Youngest, but not for Deathknell access per se.

Raidleader Only:
The next step involves the strengthening of your Enraged Flesh Charm, which you received as a result of the Become the Vessel task.

Note: Text in GREEN is only required if you want to be able to request the Sullon Zek raid. It is not a requirement for Deathknell access.

Collect three Legendary Berserker Bones:

- Bone of a powerful bazu (from a chest after Titanothon's death in The Devastation)
- Bone of a great military commander (from a chest after mini-bosses' deaths in The Devastation)
- Bone of a bold invader (from a chest after bosses' deaths in Sverag)

With your Enraged Flesh Charm in your possession, turn the three bones in to Maelin in the Plane of Knowledge. This in turn allows you to request the Sullon Zek raid task.

Shrine of Druzzil Ro says 'So you were successful. I'm glad my faith in you was not misplaced. Give me a moment to examine the ward.'

Shrine of Druzzil Ro says 'This ward appears to be ideal for my needs. I have made the necessary changes to the enchantment contained in the shard. Also contained in the shard is a drop of my own blood. As you may have gathered by now, there is more to these [troubles] than I have revealed.'

You say, 'What troubles?'

Shrine of Druzzil Ro says 'As I said when we spoke earlier, there has been a disruption in an aspect of divine magic. Unfortunately things are worse than that statement imply. The disruption of magic is in truth the corruption of my daughter, Ayonae Ro, by that vile fiend Mayong [Mistmoore].'

You say, 'What of Mistmoore?'

Shrine of Druzzil Ro says 'It was only recently that Mayong achieved his goals of ascension. Since then his shadow has been weaving through the fabric of the planes and pantheon, causing dissension and corruption where there was none before. Because Mayong was never meant to be a god, he has no plane of his own. In his arrogance he claimed the domain of my daughter, Ayonae. After he forced his way into her plane things only got [worse].'

You say, 'How are things worse?'

Shrine of Druzzil Ro says 'Just by his presence there, he began to corrupt the very essence of the plane. Ayonae fought with him for a time, but was soon driven mad by the corruption. Since then Mayong has bent the plane to his will and closed it off to all. I can only guess at the state of things there now. It is for these reasons that I have sought, and continue to ask for, your [help]. For if Mayong can corrupt my daughter and take her home, we can assume he won't simply stop there. I have seen a dark future and we need your help to prevent it.'

You say, 'I will continue to help.'

Shrine of Druzzil Ro says 'My greatest concern is for the safety of my daughter. To that end I have put you on the path of this ward. Close though the ward is to completion there is still one part missing. The blood of Solusek Ro. There is one place on Norrath that you may be able to obtain a sample of his blood. You see it is the presence of his blood that created and maintains the dryness and sands of the Desert of Ro. That desert was not always as it is now. There was once a great [forest] there where the first elves lived.'

You say, 'What forest?'

Shrine of Druzzil Ro says 'You would know it as the Elddar Forest. The elves living there were the first creations of Tunare in Norrath who created fantastic thriving cities and villages in perfect harmony with the forest. Solusek Ro bacame jealous of these creations and sought to destroy them. In the heart of the great tree in the middle of the Takish-Hiz empire was a wondrous shrine to Tunare. It was there that he placed an insidious [poison].'

You say, 'How did he poison the tree?'

Shrine of Druzzil Ro says 'Solusek used his own blood to create the downfall of Takish-Hiz. His blood scorched the land and gradually drew all water and life from it. The rivers ran dry, it rained less each year, and while the great elven druids fought long and hard, using their powerful magic to combat the blight, they could only delay the inevitable. Slowly the forest gave way to desert, and eventually even great Takish-Hiz crumbled and the elves were forced to flee or be consumed by the sand themselves. Even today you can still find the [ruins] of their civilization.'

You say 'I will seek the ruins.'

Shrine of Druzzil Ro says 'The great city of Takish-Hiz has left behind many of its structures, though they have been diminished by time. The greate tree touched by Solusek can still be found by those who know where to look. I would ask that you find this tree and obtain a sample of the blood within in order to complete the ward. Be wary though, there is a [guardian] protecting the chamber from all who would enter.'

You say 'Who is this guardian?'

Shrine of Druzzil Ro says 'This creature was created from fire and Solusek's blood. It has guarded the chamber through the ages and is likely to be of unusual power. Caution should guide your hand in this, but should you find a way to defeat the guardian, and obtain a sample of the blood there, return to me and I shall finish the enchantment.'

You now need to retrieve a drop of Solusek Ro's blood. This will be no easy task.

Backflagging

Unflagged people may enter Deathknell by being "raided in". Backflagging is then done by looting a Twisted Harp String. All four Deathknell events drop a chest with 3 loots + 1 string. Upon looting the Twisted Harp String...

You spasm uncontrollably when your fingers touch the harp string. The memories of Ayonae Ro flood your mind. You are bombarded with visions of unbelievable pain and suffering. You watch as your beautiful plane of existence is ripped asunder, as your closest friends are twisted into disfigured monstrosities or slain in cold blood. Images of darkness, death, and unmerciful slaughter assail you until it feels like you can take no more. When the mind meld ends, you feel as if part of your sanity has been lost, but in exchange you have gained an understanding of Deathknell. You can enter the bell tower at will.
