It’s time to move onto the next stage of our research. There is a book in the Crownsreach library, a book so old its origins have been lost to time. Within its pages are the oldest myths and legends surrounding the Queen of Monsters. And in every myth lies a grain of truth. This book could very well hold the information we need.
Where is the book?
The book is kept in the rare tomes wing of the Crownsreach library. Access to this wing is severely restricted and, well… let’s just say it’s been awhile since anyone ventured back that far. We may need to do a little tidying first.

Whoa! What the heck is that thing? Does this place seriously have a monster guarding its books? I mean… I’d do the same, especially with a collection like this… but yikes! You can take it though, right?

According to legend, there’s an artifact in the Plane of Monsters that could help us learn the truth about the Queen of Monsters. An artifact that I believe to be here, below Crownsreach, inside the last open rift between the worlds. Come with me, and together we will find it.

Chaos Specialist
Hello! I am Loremaster Anka, specialist in Chaos lore. I'm so excited to be working here under the supervision of Drakath himself! I'll be compiling a history of the Chaos War for the Crownsreach Librarium. Help me gather notes on the creatures that played a role in that legendary battle, and I will gladly reward you for your time.
Studying Chaos
Unfortunately, there hasn't been much study done on the creatures of Chaos in this plane of existence. The Chaos War made people too afraid of it, even Loremasters. It's important work we're doing here, Hero. After all, who will do this if not us?
- Loremaster Anka's Quests
Studying Monsters
Chaos did not come to lore from out of nowhere! It was birthed deep in the Plane of Monsters, as Drakath well knows. If we study the beings that emerged during the fight against the Queen of Monsters, we may gain further insight into its nature.

I understand why Drakath is upset. The Queen of Monsters betrayed him pretty massively after he worked so hard to set her free. But surely, losing this chance at the truth isn’t what you really want. The Queen is dead. We have nothing to worry about.Give it some thought. You’ve got plenty of time. After all, we can’t do anything until we’ve found the tunnel.

Geez, could this text be any more opaque? It’s more of a riddle than a history. That’s okay. I’m not giving up. If it is a riddle, then we’re just going to have to solve it.

That mist that appeared! Do you see it? That must be what the book was talking about. “Order gives way to chaos, and the mist dissolves.” It sounds like we’ll have to find a way to dissolve the mist before we can continue.

It worked! It actually worked. The mist has become thin enough to pass through… at least in certain spots. Cross over, and meet me on the other side.

Ever since the Queen of Monsters died, the presence of her minions on Lore has diminished. But not here. The woods around Crownsreach have remained quite monstrous. Isn’t that an odd thing? Like attracts like, I suppose… after all, Monsters are directly related to Chaos. But I can’t help but think this is a phenomenon worth looking into a little bit further.

After completing the 'The Aberration' quest:
Chaos Expert
It is said that the Queen of Monsters was once human, just like you and I. Faced with unfathomable tragedy, she was lost to her grief. At this very spot, she lay in anguish, and tore her own heart from her chest. But she did not die. Instead, she changed.
Tell me more!
She lay in this spot for one hundred days, unmoving. Slowly, the earth took her into itself, wet from her tears.Those same tears that later crystallized and made their way to the home of the Darkblood. I believe they were once in your possession as well, hero.
After completing the 'That Which Flies' quest:
Chaos Expert
After the hundredth day, the Queen stood again. Still carrying her own beating heart, she made her way down, down into the ground, and as she progressed, the land around her began to change. It was as if she was no longer on Lore, as if a new plane of existence was starting to form in her wake.
Tell me more!
Soon the last of her grief turned to anger. Anger at the unfairness of the universe. Anger that she had been so deeply harmed, and for no purpose. It burst from her, burning, and exploded through the very world itself, forming a doorway to a world that could not hurt her. A world where she would rule.
Where is this door?
It faded along with the flames of her anger. But if we can ignite it once more, then we will be able to follow in her footsteps.
After completing the 'Burn It!' quest:
Chaos Expert
As the Queen’s journey continued, the world was not the only thing that went through a transformation. She shed her old form like a cocoon and emerged from it changed, like a horrific butterfly.
Tell me more!
Her old body calcified and has become part of the tunnel itself. Some of the more intelligent monsters worship it like an idol.
After completing the 'Acid and Scratch Test' quest:
Chaos Expert
These are all definitely the same material. The tributes… the Monstrite stones… and even the petrified body of the Queen herself.
Next
Do you know what this means? These are all pieces of her… born from her body. I bet all of them carry some of her inside them.
Next
My current theory is that this material resonates strongly with her, and has some kind of effect when brought into proximity.
Next
We should try it and see what happens, don’t you think?

The Queen’s artifact will give us what we want. We just have to let her see that we’re worthy of what she has to show us. Help me tame her, Hero.
