Quest Item 41: Bridge Activation Crystal
Location: Given to you by Finala at the end of the primary quest Finala and the Broken Bridge

This crystal was given to you by Finala, the Aman'lu engineer, to use to activate the bridges on the Elen'lu Isles.

The Elen'lu Isles have always been shrouded in mystery. The children of Aman'lu used to dare each other to venture out to the isles and look for hidden treasure; but when the taclak became more vicious, Celeb'hel ordered the bridges disabled. Now, the bridges can only be activated by this crystal.

It was assumed that the Prism of the Elves at the heart of the Isles was still functioning, protecting Aman'lu from any danger, but the recent onslaught by Valdis and his Archmage made it clear that something is wrong. Perhaps the answer lies with the savage taclak who inhabit the isles.

Quest Item 42: Carved Rod
Location: Found in an Ancient Elven Reliquary (Northern Vai'lutra Forest, #1)

You obtained this rod in a chest near a spirit called Guardian of the Staff.

When Arinth the Mad was imprisoned by the ancient Elven sorcerer Isteru, he broke Arinth's staff of power into three pieces, which he then scattered and hid in secret locations. This Carved Rod is one of those pieces.

Eolanda the Combat Mage in Aman'lu will be very pleased to see that you have found this artifact.

Quest Item 43: First Small Prism Refractor Crystal
Location: Dropped by an elite taclak in the Elen'lu Isles (The Elen'lu Isles, #1)

Obtained from the corpse of a dead taclak on the Elen'lu Isles, this crystal seems to absorb the light around it. If it is placed in a reflective socket, it will emite a single, intense beam of energy.

The Prism of the Elves needs four small refractor crystals to gather the diffused island light into concentrated beams, and one large refractor crystal to combine the four beams into one. This central beam is then used to power an ancient magical shield that protects the Vai'lutra Forest.

Quest Item 44: Second Small Prism Refractor Crystal
Location: Dropped by an elite taclak in the Elen'lu Isles (The Elen'lu Isles, #1)

Obtained from the corpse of a dead taclak on the Elen'lu Isles, this crystal seems to absorb the light around it. If it is placed in a reflective socket, it will emite a single, intense beam of energy.

The Prism of the Elves needs four small refractor crystals to gather the diffused island light into concentrated beams, and one large refractor crystal to combine the four beams into one. This central beam is then used to power an ancient magical shield that protects the Vai'lutra Forest.

Quest Item 45: Third Small Prism Refractor Crystal
Location: Dropped by an elite taclak in the Elen'lu Isles (The Elen'lu Isles, #1)

Obtained from the corpse of a dead taclak on the Elen'lu Isles, this crystal seems to absorb the light around it. If it is placed in a reflective socket, it will emite a single, intense beam of energy.

The Prism of the Elves needs four small refractor crystals to gather the diffused island light into concentrated beams, and one large refractor crystal to combine the four beams into one. This central beam is then used to power an ancient magical shield that protects the Vai'lutra Forest.

Quest Item 46: Fourth Small Prism Refractor Crystal
Location: Dropped by an elite taclak in the Elen'lu Isles (The Elen'lu Isles, #1)

Obtained from the corpse of a dead taclak on the Elen'lu Isles, this crystal seems to absorb the light around it. If it is placed in a reflective socket, it will emite a single, intense beam of energy.

The Prism of the Elves needs four small refractor crystals to gather the diffused island light into concentrated beams, and one large refractor crystal to combine the four beams into one. This central beam is then used to power an ancient magical shield that protects the Vai'lutra Forest.

Quest Item 47: Large Prism Refractor Crystal
Location: Dropped by an elite taclak in the Elen'lu Isles (The Elen'lu Isles, #1)

Obtained from the corpse of a dead taclak on the Elen'lu Isles, this crystal can focus them and reactivate the Prism of the Elves if all four beams of energy are aimed properly.

You were taught as a child that the Prism's creation was Isteru's last act. Near the end of his life, he saw that Aranna was growing more dangerous, and although Azunai had successfully ended Zaramoth's rule, the resulting cataclysm and the power of the Dark Wizards had left the door open for many great evils to surface. Isteru knew that the forest would need protection.

The protective magic generated by the Prism is nearly a thousand years old, and some of the elders fear that it is weakening and may not be strong enough to protect against the powerful magic of the Dark Wizards. A few suspect that this weakening is contributing to the decay at the edges of the Vai'lutra Forest. However, since no one knows how long the refractor crystals have been missing, you wonder if the Prism has simply been disabled long enough to let evil seep into the forest.

Quest Item 48: Elven House Key
Location: Dropped by Magrus during the secondary quest Lothar's Innocence

Lothar accused Magrus of stealing Roland's golden cloak -- the crime which Roland has accused Lothar of perpetrating. Magrus departed in a hurry, leaving this house key behind.

You are not sure what it opens, but hopefully you will find the house this key opens somewhere nearby.

Quest Item 49: Roland's Golden Cloak
Location: Dropped by Magrus during the secondary quest Lothar's Innocence

Roland of Aman'lu accused Lothar of stealing this cloak. However, Lothar has always professed his innocence, and with some careful sleuthing he discovered that another half-giant, Magrus, was the true thief. Lothar bested Magrus in battle and recovered Roland's cloak.

Now that you have seen the cloak for yourself, you understand why Roland values it. It appears to be made from the finest elven silkstrand cloth interwoven with a golden thread, resulting in a shimmer effect that would clearly draw the eyes of even the loveiest women.

After seeing Magrus' homely features, you wonder if he snatched the cloak for that same reason.

Quest Item 50: A Portrait of the Lady of the Estate
Location: Acquired during the secondary quest A Servant's Haunt

You obtained this painting from within the Levreth Estate by following the ghost of Threnith Wilwarin.

This painting shows a wealthy-looking Elven woman, probably the Lady of the Estate.

You have never seen a portrait in Aman'lu (Elven art tends more toward abstract depictions of ethereal concepts), and suspect it might have been painted by a traveling Human artist.

You know that no such artists have come through Vai'lutra in recent times, so the painting must be quite old.
