Nothing There

I remember the Oblivion that looked down on me as I fell into the abyss, but it's been a long time since then. Investigate the Empty Creatures, the Oblivion Magi, and the Herald. That would be more helpful than my stale old memories.

+ When Completed

Oblivion gazed too long into the abyss, and realized there was nothing there. Nothing matters, and there's no escape. It's pointless, and the Fiend God laughs. I wonder…What could Nulgath have done to shackle Oblivion to life?

Quest Location: Oblivion Tundra
Quests Begun From: The Hushed (NPC) (2)
Requirements: Must have completed the 'Allure of the Void' quest.
Note: These quests can only be completed once.

Indignant Stubbornness

To the east, you'll find the cliff where Oblivion and I parted ways. Carnage is making his way there. He must have seen something that motivated him to stay awake. Find him, and fight off the Empty Creatures seeking to fill their husks with your viscera.

+ When Completed

Nulgath's loyalists are impressive. When Oblivion was still my student, the others wouldn't even dare call themselves rivals, lest he carve out their insides. I was more proud than concerned. I wonder how Nulgath feels…or if he even can in the first place.

Items Required:

• Pale Pelt x12
  • Dropped by Empty Creature (Version 2)
• Talk to Carnage x1
  • Talk to Carnage (NPC)

Rewards:

• 6,000 Gold
• 30,000 Exp

Over the Edge

Requirements: Must have completed the previous quest.

Nulgath brazenly stepped over the edge of that cliff. You wouldn't be able to survive the fall. Not comfortably, at least. Gather the sinew from the bone spires sprouting from the snow. Take care not to stare at them for too long. You'll wake them up.

+ When Completed

When Adimonde disposed of our remains, he left them to stare up at the edge of that cliff. Oblivion gazed into the abyss for many years, distraught that nothing was looking back. I wish he had gotten bored and left.

Items Required:

• Gather Sinew x5
  • Click on the blue arrows on Screens 2 and 3
• Place Rope x1
  • Click on the blue arrow on Screen 3

Rewards:

• 0 Gold
• 5,000 Exp

Restless Pride

Requirements: Must have completed the previous quest.

Climb down that rope, and try not to vomit. At the bottom of this pit is a spatial tear that leads to the Fiend God's realm. You'll find all the bones Adimonde picked out of his teeth. Other Hushed, leftovers like me, will attack on sight. Put them out of their misery.

+ When Completed

Beating the Hushed with hammers and cutting them with blades can force them to calm for a moment, but they'll never let this go. They used to be powerful, prideful Archfiends like Nulgath, reduced to scraps by their own followers.

Items Required:

• Primordial Ooze x6
  • Dropped by Hushed

Rewards:

• 6,000 Gold
• 30,000 Exp

Greywater

Requirements: Must have completed the previous quest.

You'll feel the bottom of your boots melt the closer you get to the bottom. We'll all flow down there eventually, like water getting sucked into a drain. The number of Empty Creatures and Hushed will be densest there. Get them out of your way.

+ When Completed

I imagine you'll eventually run into me, or well, the angrier parts of me. Adimonde's food breaks apart in his stomach. I got lucky, attaching myself to Oblivion's rags. Perhaps I'm the 'mentor' distilled from the rest of an old Archfiend's bitterness.

Items Required:

• Gray Meat x4
  • Dropped by Empty Creature (Version 2)
• Soiled Contract x2
  • Dropped by Hushed

Rewards:

• 6,000 Gold
• 30,000 Exp

A Fiendish Waste

Requirements: Must have completed the previous quest.

At the very bottom of this pit, destroy what remains of a Withered Archfiend. Nulgath is nearby. I sense it, and he's waiting to see if you can push his predecessor back into the Fiend's Void. Take care not to fall in yourself. It'll make Adimonde laugh.

+ When Completed

This Nulgath is very confident in himself. Ah well, so was I. We were too high and mighty to think that people like you would resent such condescension. Adimonde, with lazy ease, assures that we all fall this way.

Items Required:

• Withered Remains x1
  • Dropped by Withered Archfiend

Rewards:

• 9,000 Gold
• 45,000 Exp

Inevitable Departure

Requirements: Must have completed the previous quest.

You've gazed into the Fiend's Void, and decided to turn your back on it. That's right. Very good. It's time to leave. Head back west, and see if you can relight the Candles. Maybe that Lost Expeditioner can point you the right way.

+ When Completed

If you can't light those candles, that means Oblivion is watching. Being an Elemental, he's likely all around us. Haha, I taught Oblivion how to do this, and Nulgath gets to reap the rewards.

Items Required:

• Examine Candles x3
  • Click on the blue arrows on Screen 8
• Find Lost Expeditioner x1
  • Go to the mark on Screen 9

Rewards:

• 0 Gold
• 5,000 Exp

Emptiness Embodied

Requirements: Must have completed the previous quest.

The Oblivion Magi are on the move. That means their Master is beginning to feel something other than melancholic nothing. Cut them down, and keep heading west. Don't let their emptiness seep into you.

+ When Completed

Cold is an absence of heat, and Darkness is an absence of Light. It gets complicated when magic's involved. Oblivion was always bothered by that detail - that he was an embodiment of nothing. I wonder if other Elementals like him fret over such things.

Items Required:

• Magus' Darkness x6
  • Dropped by Oblivion Magus (Version 2)

Rewards:

• 6,000 Gold
• 30,000 Exp

Ice Ages Past

Requirements: Must have completed the previous quest.

This is new. Oblivion's influence is pulling the remains of an extinct species out of the black snow. The Ettin have been mutated into Fiends by an Archfiend's power. Raise your weapon, and return them to their graves. Their time is over.

+ When Completed

Nulgath has taken a keen interest in this new discovery. The long-dead Ettin, and even the tundra itself, can be mutated into living Fiends just from an Archfiend's presence. His potential was stifled because he lacked a mentor of his own. What will he do from here…

Items Required:

• Fiend's Antlers x6
  • Dropped by Ettin Fiend

Rewards:

• 6,000 Gold
• 30,000 Exp

Stirring Darkness

Requirements: Must have completed the previous quest.

The black snow is rippling, and Oblivion's minions are gathering around us. Slay them where they stand, and continue on your way. If Oblivion wants to stop you, he'll have to get up and do it himself.

+ When Completed

When Oblivion was turned into a Fiend, it gave his ethereal Elemental body flesh. My student, if you're out there…remember when you felt your bones grow in. Remember your breath, your scream, and the roar from your new lungs.

Items Required:

• Magus' Gray Soul x6
  • Dropped by Oblivion Magus (Version 2)
• Ettin Core x3
  • Dropped by Ettin Fiend

Rewards:

• 6,000 Gold
• 30,000 Exp

Remember to Breathe

Requirements: Must have completed the previous quest.

Archfiend Oblivion rises out of bitterness, envy, and rage. That's a far cry from emptiness. Haha, Nulgath acknowledged that I exist, and is petitioning me to hand over my student. Defeat Oblivion, and I'll be more than happy to watch him leave.

+ When Completed

I was leagues better as a teacher than as a Fiend. That was Adimonde's mistake. Perhaps this was meant to be. Perhaps, I was the first step in destroying this pointless cycle. A real Archfiend can finally dig their teeth into Lore.

Items Required:

• Archfiend Oblivion Defeated x1
  • Dropped by Archfiend Oblivion

Rewards:

• 12,000 Gold
• 6,000 Exp
