Description

We don't know much about the Empyrean Society's activities here, but now that you appear to be a new recruit you should be able to ask some questions and take a look around for the strange magic Archmage Vargoth detected.

Let's meet up at the rotunda on the hill

What do you think they are up to?

Completion

They're using fel magic. I knew there was something off about them, but I never suspected this!

Notes

Quest accept

Ravandwyr walks away as Esara speaks to the mage adventurer.

Esara Verrinde says: Your friend is right. We should work together.

Enter the area

Empyrean Disciple says: Hello. Have you come to join the Empyrean Society of Exotic Magical Arts?

Questioning the Conjurors and Disciples

• Our ascension is at hand. Have you brought us something worthy?
• Have you come to join us? I hope you brought us something powerful to study.
• Are you here to learn from us? What did you bring us?

 I brought you a Pearl of Arcane Wisdom. What is it you do here, exactly?

Marlan must evaluate your gift before I can speak with you further. Farewell.

Investigate the Ancient Brazier

Esara Verrinde says: I don't see anything unusual about this brazier. It looks to be in pretty good shape for something so ancient.

Investigate building

Empyrean Disciple says: Get away from there!

Esara Verrinde says: There's a fel rune locking that door! The Empyrean Society should not be using such magic!

Investigate rotunda

Esara Verrinde says: Lovely view up here. Hmm, now that book warrants a closer look.

Investigate Exotic Book

Marlan Blackfire says: More Kirin Tor Spies!

Marlan Blackfire says: Your friend has been dealt with.

Marlan Blackfire says: Now it is your turn!
