A Dericost noble called the Eternal Harvester has taken over the ancient crypt of a Falatacot Patriarch named Adhorix.  While we Isparians would rarely care about a struggle between two of our enemies, a Sclavus servant of Adhorix has offered to aide us if we destroy both the Eternal Harvester and his old master Adhorix.  Sounds like a good deal to me!

Step 1:  Preparation.  This quest has two phases - the Font of the Eternal Harvester and the Crypt of Adhorix.  Your goal in the Font is to defeat the Dericostian Undead guardians and recover a portal gem from the Eternal Harvester himself so that you may enter the Crypt.  The first stage is quite easy to do alone, so I recommend going through it solo and then using the gem to take your team through the second half.  Using the portal gem also cuts out the trip to the dungeon itself.  To reach the Font, take the Kivik Lir portal device (from Blackmire 1) to the East Direlands swamp.  The drop is safe, but you should buff up here.  You'll be fighting high level Undead, so a fire weapon will be ideal.  Put up all your protects, but you can get away with only casting Impen on your armor.  When you are set, run to a bunker located at 42.7S 46.6W.  There you will find the Sclavus Ssavashka the Devoted.  Greet it and then enter the dungeon.

Step 2:  Font of the Eternal Harvester.  Although this dungeon is fairly long, it is quite linear and very easy to run through, should you not want to fight.  Your general goal is to make your way south, although you will wind around a bit in places.  At the very end is a large room protected by several Undead and the Harvester himself.  Kill him and check his corpse for a portal gem.  When you have it, meet up with your group (or if you brought them along, pop the gem!).

Step 3:  Crypt of Adhorix.  Before you use your gem, make sure you are properly buffed for the last dungeon.  The entire dungeon is a single room, but the fight is hard!  The same buffs as before will work, but you might consider baning against physical damage types.  When you use the gem, you will appear in the crypt, which is protected by many Undead on a very, very fast spawn, four pillars of the Eternal Harvester, and the Tomb of Adhorix right in the middle.  Your main goal is to destroy the Tomb, but you will be hampered by the Undead.  They are clustered around each of the Pillars and spawn so fast that you will be unable to keep them all dead for very long.  However, you may stop the spawn of each cluster by destroying the pillar each spawn group is centered around.  The pillars do respawn though, so you may wish to leave a couple intact.  Be aware that the Tomb and the Pillars are Withered - they are immune to Life and Creature magic, so mages should stick with War spells.  When you are happy with the number of Undead, start bashing the Tomb.  It will take some time to destroy, but when it does, it will leave behind a big pile of rubble.  Each person needs to grab a piece.  When everyone has their rubble pile, hit the exit portal.

Step 4:  Rewards.  Return the rubble to Ssavashka the Devoted for your rewards, which include 2.3M XP and the Tome of Blood and Bone.  The Tome is a housing item that, aside from looking awfully cool, will cast a moderate focus spell on you that lasts for 30 minutes.  Although it isn't the most potent spell around, you may find the Tome useful.
