Muldaveus was the Lugian leader of the Tumerok/Lugian Renegades. The Renegades were all but destroyed when the Burun broke their alliance and killed the Renegade Leadership. Muldaveus escaped with his life and hasn't been seen in some time...
Step 1: Incomplete Journal. To track Muldaveus, you'll need to reassemble his journal. A Viamontian Wanderer named Mancenza in Silyun seems to know something about Muldaveus's most recent wandering. You may visit him to start the quest if you like - he will give you a list of places where Muldaveus has been seen lately. Alternately, you can head out into the field and gather the pieces of Muldaveus's Journal using the information here! There are 4 locations you'll need to check: the Tumerok Mine located at 8N 61.3W, a Merchant N of Neydissa at 75.5N 10.5E, a Banderling Camp located at 72.3N 17.0W, and a tower near Plateau Village located at 42.9N 42.3W. Check the room in the Tumerok Mine labeled A in the map and you will find a pack that contains Page 1. The Merchant sells Page 2 for 1 pyreal - check under Miscellaneous. The Banderling Camp has a pack lying around that contains Page 3. Page 4 is located in a bookshelf inside the Plateau Tower. Once you have all 4 pages, return to Mancenza. Combine all 4 pages and give Mancenza the resulting Journal. He'll combine it with the portions he has and direct you to a new dungeon.
Step 2: Icy Hideout. Buff up in Silyun - you'll be fighting a variety of monsters in the Hideout, not to mention all the monsters you will run past on the Isle of Ruin, so buff thoroughly. Physical Damage is probably your best bet for a weapon. When you are buffed, take the Isle of Ruin portal NE of Silyun and run to 89.5N, 56.3W. The dungeon isn't terribly complicated, so you shouldn't have trouble navigating. Make your way down and you will eventually reach a ramp leading to an acid pit guarded by a few Acid Elementals. Lure them out and kill them before heading into the acid and make sure you dispel any Acid Vulns! When the Elementals are dead, run into the acid pit and quickly make your way to the far end, where you will find a staircase leading up to an exit portal. Check the ground and pick up the Insignia Badge on the ground.
Step 3: Rewards. Return with the Badge to Mancenza and he will reward you! You'll get a Squalid Coat (which looks like poor man's Blackmire), 5 Platinum Scarabs, 2 MMD notes, and 4.5 Million XP.
