	== Quest Overview ==		== Quest Overview ==
	You must first complete the [[Buadren Quest]] before you can begin upgrading it to an [[Invoker]]. ~~There are~~ a series of levers to pull to advance through the ~~dungeon, these~~ can be solo'd, ~~however~~ it is easier ~~with more people and coordinate~~ the ~~lever pulls~~.		You must first complete the [[Buadren Quest]] before you can begin upgrading it to an [[Invoker]]. This quest features a complicated series of levers to pull to advance through the dungeons. These can be done solo, but it may be easier to have a group to assist. You do not need a Buadren in order to enter the dungeon, so you can enlist the help of anyone who is willing to help.

	== Walk Through ==		== Walk Through ==
	~~NOTE~~: The ~~dungeon~~ is ~~very difficult to navigate completely through without a group of 2-4, but can be done alone~~. Aegis/health rations/potions are strongly recommended. It is also recommended that you study the map and familiarize yourself with the hidden portal locations ([[Lilitha (NPC)\|Lilitha]]/Empyrean rooms).		'''Note''': The walk through below is written for someone who is doing the quest solo. Aegis/health rations/potions are strongly recommended. It is also recommended that you study the map and familiarize yourself with the hidden portal locations ([[Lilitha (NPC)\|Lilitha]]/Empyrean rooms). Unless you are a mage or using a magic defense rare, you will likely not be able to resist all of the spells cast by the rifts/dolls.

	# Each person needs a [[Buadren]].		If you happen to be doing this quest with a group, it is faster to study the map and decide who will hit which levers to speed the process. If soloing, you will not want to fight anything, as you must move quickly to get to each door before it closes again. It is also recommended to read the entire walk through before starting as many steps must be done quickly after one another.
	# ~~Pick up an~~ [[~~Akiekie Ember~~]] ~~at 82.7N 21.E near the fire~~ in the [[Aun Settlement]].
	# Enter the Portal Space dungeon ~~and follow these instructions:~~		# Each person needs a [[Buadren]] in order to receive the [[Invoker]] as a reward.
	# Pull the gem ~~levers until~~ the blue "door~~" opens, follow~~ the ~~path downward until you reach a large room, next~~ to the door is a lever~~, pull it~~ to ~~open~~. ~~Using~~ the map ~~<br>as a guide, find the invisible floorspace that will teleport you~~ to ~~lithia's room~~		# Speak to [[Aun Aulakhe]] in the [[Aun Settlement]].
	# From ~~here, run past~~ the ~~portals until you find~~ the ~~orange one~~, ~~enter it~~, then ~~run downward as far as you can go and you will find that~~ the ~~doors~~ to ~~section 2 are <br>~~open~~, enter~~ the portal ~~behind~~ the ~~door~~.		# Pick up an [[Akiekie Ember]] on the ground near Aun Aulakhe.
	# ~~From here, make your way~~ to the bottom of the ~~stairway~~ (~~which looks like portals~~) and ~~pull~~ the ~~lever next~~ to the ~~locked door~~, ~~then~~ run ~~all~~ the ~~way~~ back up ~~from which <br>~~you ~~came and enter~~ the "portal ~~space" portal, this~~ will take you to the ~~large room in~~ the ~~first~~ orange section.		# Enter the Portal Space dungeon portal nearby.
	# ~~IMPORTANT~~ Pull the lever right next to you ~~before proceeding~~! Then ~~again~~ find ~~Lithia~~'s ~~room~~ and take the yellow ~~portal~~. ~~Make your way downward~~ and ~~you will find <br>that~~ the yellow ~~doors for~~ the second ~~section are opened, enter it~~.		# '''Segment 1'''
	# From ~~here~~, ~~run~~ to the ~~bottom~~ and you ~~will find that~~ the ~~doors that blocked you earlier are opened~~, ~~run~~ through ~~them~~. ~~You do not need~~ to ~~worry about going back~~ to ~~<br>section 1 now~~. In the lightning ~~room~~, ~~pull~~ the ~~lever next to~~ the ~~closed~~ door ~~then head to~~ the ~~empyrean room~~.		## Pull the gem lever near the yellow door to open the blue door. You will be entering the '''blue''' section on the first dungeon map.
	# ~~Take~~ the green portal ~~inside, it drops~~ you to the lightning ~~room in~~ the ~~green section; run past~~ the open ~~doors~~, ~~reach~~ the ~~final locked door~~ and ~~pull~~ the lever ~~next <br>~~to it, ~~then run back to~~ the ~~empyrean~~ room and take the ~~orange~~ portal		## Go through the blue door and all the way to the bottom where another blue door is closed. Be careful to avoid the passageway with a hidden portal to the Lilitha section on the way down.
	# ~~Pull~~ the ~~lever in~~ the ~~orange lightning~~ room and head back to the ~~empyrean room~~		## Pull the gem lever (lever 7) in the room with the closed blue door.
	# ~~Take~~ the ~~blue portal,~~ and ~~FINALLY run through~~ to ~~the end~~.		## Run back up and use the passageway with the hidden portal to the Lilitha section. See the map to know where it is.
			## From the drop in the Lilitha section, quickly heal if you need to, then click on the door to open it.
			## Find and use the '''orange''' portal. This will take you to the orange section of the first dungeon.
			## Run down the very similar passage in the orange section to the bottom. Again be careful to avoid the Lilitha hidden portal passageway. Note that it is in a different location in each color section of the dungeon.
			## Run through the open door (door 7) at the bottom and into the '''orange''' portal to the second dungeon.
			## Heal and take a breather before starting segment 2.
			# '''Segment 2'''
			## Head straight and go down the long staircase which is made of steps that look like portals.
			## At the bottom, run into the large room and quickly hit the gem lever (lever 4).
			## Run back up the portal staircase. Note that sometimes you may have to do a shift jump to get to the next step. The staircase is a bit glitchy going up. Go as fast as you can.
			## At the top, run into the ''orange'' portal straight ahead. This will take you back to the bottom of the orange section of the first dungeon.
			## Pull the lever right next to you at the drop point (lever 8)! Then run upward and find the passageway to Lilitha's section.
			## From the Lilitha section drop, quickly heal if needed, then find the '''yellow''' portal and take it.
			## Run down from the yellow section drop, avoiding the passageway to Lilitha's. Go through the open door (door 8) at the bottom and take the '''yellow''' portal to the second dungeon.
			## From the drop, take the first passageway to the right and follow it down and to the left until you get to a large room at the bottom.
			## Run through the open door (door 4).
			## Stop, heal, and take a breather after going through the door. Avoid turning left beyond the door or you will take a hidden portal before you want to.
			# '''Segment 3'''
			## Head south into a large room with flashing lighting.
			## Go east to the closed door and hit the gem lever (lever 5). Note you will take damage from the lightning. Be quick!
			## Head back north to the yellow door you came through, and run into the passage just right of the door. There is a hidden portal the Empyrean section (see map).
			## From the drop in the Empyrean section, turn around and open the door and take the '''green''' portal. This will take you to the green section of the second dungeon.
			## Run north through the lightning field and hit the gem lever (lever 6) through the open door (door 5).
			## Continue north into a large room, run around the building in the center and hit the gem lever (lever 10).
			## Run back the way you came and as far south as you can go. The passageway to the far south contains the hidden portal to the Empyrean section.
			## From the Empyrean drop, head southeast across the room. Beware of lightning damage! Open the door and take the '''blue''' portal. This will take you to the blue section of the second dungeon.
			## Run south through the lightning field (beware!) and through the open door (door 6).
			## Continue south into a larger room and run around the building and into the door (door 10).
			## Take the portal inside into the final dungeon.
			# The final dungeon has no levers. Head west and then north up the stairs. Follow the linear path.
			# When you reach a larger room, head either east or west. It doesn't matter which way.
			# When you reach another large room, jump up the portal staircase to reach [[Aun Tanua]].
			# Give Aun Tanua the Akiekie Ember. He will give you back a Burning Akiekie Ember.
			# You cannot portal recall back, so head back downstairs to a room that has an exit portal in the center. Do not take any of the "colored" portals in the side rooms.
			# Hand the Burning Akiekie Ember to Aun Aulakhe. He will then ask for your Buadren.
			# Give him the Buadren and he will upgrade it to an Invoker.

	:<font color=green>Your vision swims.		:<font color=green>Your vision swims. A wall of arid heat slams into your face, nearly knocking you back. You blink, eyes dry and stinging.

			:You stand over a raw lava flow. The craggy walls are black stone, scarcely lit by the damask shadows from the liquid earth that rolls and flops beneath you. Down in the flow, figures are moving; constellations of stone, burning white from their inhospitable wading pool.
			----
			:Your vision swims. For a moment, you see a group of men and women in white and purple. Somehow, you recognize the pattern of the robes; the colors of the Knorr Lyceum. The fabric is torn, sweat-stained, the anonymous faces floating above them white with fatigue. You are jostled and shoved into a group. You blink into the shadows. What..? The adepts raise their hands. Their eyes fill with radiance, growing blinding, growing until you can see the shadow of their skulls.

			:You fall into the silvered tube of portalspace. It snakes and writhes, following safe courses through dimensions no eye can see, and magic can scarcely chart. And then...

			:The tunnel does not collapse as it always does. It peels open. You are weightless, formless, tumbling through an empty violet abyss. So tired... Sleep...

			:And something, somewhere, tears a little more...
			----
			:Your vision swims. For a moment, you seem to be sitting before an orb wreathed in sourceless, clean blue flame. Across from you sits a young man, his hands knotted in anguish, his golden eyes flaring with anger. He speaks, the words flowing like the musical speech of the sea peoples of Ispar. Like an afterimage, the words come again a moment later, in your own tongue. "Someone has to do something. They say we may only watch. But the things we see! You cannot believe what she subjects these people to. This mad queen should be cast down!"

			:You hear words, as if from your own mouth, saying, "But what can you do?"

			:"I can do what's right. I'm going back with the next study group," he says, looking at you carefully. "Maybe... for good."

			:"How could you stay without being found as something... other?"

			:The man laughs, a bitter thing. "The same way we take our smug notes. We don't hide away in hunting blinds, you know. The life masters create flesh glamors for us. I've strolled through the markets, smelling the crops." He rubs his head, chin ducking with some faint embarrassment. "Being that short takes some getting used to."
			----
			:Your vision swims. For a moment, you stand upon a crest, a frigid wind blowing icy knives through you, the land dropping away from your toes. You stumble back a step back from the precipice, dazzled by the light that skitters and skips across the snowy ground. Squinting, you raise a hand against the light of the dying sun to see...

			:Mount Esper. But not as you know it. Heat haze causes the sun to dance a jig as the cinder cone's lake boils white. On all sides, people and golems move about. A floating stone pallet is loaded with bars of greenish gold metal; a white-hot golem illuminates the entry shaft it trundles out of, the the echo filling the crater with the sound of a mountain falling down.

			:You turn to your left. An distinguished elderly woman looks to the west, the clean white light of the sun sharpening the crags of her cheeks. One hand rests on a platinum cane inscribed with fine, elegant calligraphy. Impossibly, you know her friend Ejan made it for her. And impossibly, you find yourself speaking words you cannot guess the meanings of; and you seem to hear it in Roulean. "Shaura... All these things... the great books, the monuments... The Cathedral that stood for eight millenia. What will happen to our works? They'll fall to dust if we're away so long."

			:"Time will come when these things will be again," the old woman smiles, her silver hair glinting in the waning sun. "Don't worry, my dear. When all has fallen down, you and I will be there to rebuild it, won't we?"

			:Her storm-grey eyes turn away to the west again, like ship sailing over sea. Distantly, she murmurs, "He's a good boy, Resanne. I believe in him. Unlike that daft Emperor who has us make him coins as the olthoi approach."

	:"Raen Ameranten. Chevaird of the Ialarchess. Child of Atermore, the Alabaster Fortress that Rises from the sea; the Rock which guards the eastern ways of the glorious Imperial Archipelago. You are here required to swear the Rule of Life. Will you walk upon the path of a righteous life, in fear of and in service to the clear Light? Or will you turn aside to darkness, as have others of your order? Speak now, and be cautious; for if an unworthy or insincere tongue dare speak the Rule of Life, it shall be burned from the mouth by the radiance of its holy truth."</font>		:"Raen Ameranten.

	:The women huddle together in the center of the blue stone room, watching the men with cool, detached defiance. Is that how it is? We'll see how long that detachment lasts. You nod to the men. One steps forward and wrenches a heretic girl out of the group, bending her arm a way it is not meant to go, driving her down to bruise her knees on the stones of the floor. She does not scream.

A lone bird cries in jungle outside.</font>
