WALKTHROUGH

Travel to the Fiun Outpost in the frozen northern islands and speak to Senior Sage Shibak.

Senior Sage Shibak tells you, "I am Senior Sage Shibak. I welcome you, Human."
Senior Sage Shibak tells you, "Tales of your great deeds have spread wide and far. Long have I awaited your arrival."
Shibak stares at you silently then continues.
Senior Sage Shibak tells you, "We of the Fiun have long labored to rectify that which we are the cause."
Senior Sage Shibak tells you, "To that end we have dedicated our lives so our fate does not become yours."
Senior Sage Shibak tells you, "That is why it is with great concern that those that would save this world have fallen silent."
Senior Sage Shibak tells you, "Perhaps one such as yourself would help me?"
Senior Sage Shibak tells you, "Speak to Fiun Ayabar and return with that which is spoken."
Senior Sage Shibak tells you, "The place of which you must seek lies at 92.1N 46.3W and is barred from those not invited."
Shibak touches your forehead with one finger and whispers faintly.
Senior Sage Shibak tells you, "I have opened the way for you."
Senior Sage Shibak tells you, "Hurry. Much importance is of the knowing."
[We note with regret that Senior Sage Shibak is a bit addled in the head. He refers to 'Fiun Ayabar'; however, as the laboratory (and the scientist within) are known as 'Abayar', we can only conclude that Shibak has been imbibing toooo much bubbly recently . . . - Ed.]

The place to which Shibak refers is to the Southeast, perhaps a 5 minute run; alternatively, take a portal to Eastwatch (from Ayan Baqur or Sanamar) and run from there. The building is a fascinating one, constructed of several portions presumably suspended by magic of some sort. Run inside! The drop is safe.

Once inside you will be facing Frenzied Fiun and, later, Fiun Assistants. The Fiun are vulnerable to Fire, although I was able to use a Cold weapon effectively as well.

You are looking for the first of several spiral staircases that lead downwards to the Laboratory proper. To find the first, follow these directions.

From the entryway, take the right hand passage and follow it to a door.
Go through the door, entering a set of rooms. Go to the southernmost room that has a door.
Travel through the following doors: East, South, East, South, East, South.
At this point, Head through two more doors to the South.
Take the East door; it leads to small room with a faded rug on the floor. Continue East.
In the next room take the North door; in the following room, take the West door, which leads to the first spiral staircase.
The remaining staircases are relatively simple to find.
After fighting your way through several rooms filled with Frenzied Fiun, you come to a corridor that splits in a Y. Take the right hand passage, go down the stairs, and enter the portal to Abayar's Study.

At the drop, which is relatively safe, head north. At the T-intersection, turn either way, and look for a door that faces north. This is the Study. It is filled with Fiun Assistants, and it is here that you will find Fiun Abayar.

For the solo questor (or small groups), the Assistants can be lured to the doorway and up the ramp, so that you only encounter them a few at a time.

Finally, Kill Fiun Abayar, and loot the Research Notes from his body. Their description:

Sheaves of neatly penned notes and sketches of the Eater.
** Deliver to Senior Sage Shibak **

As instructed, return to Senior Sage Shibak and hand him the notes.

You give Senior Sage Shibak Abayar's Research Notes.
You hand the Research Notes to Senior Sage Shibak and tell him of Ayabar's fate.
Senior Sage Shibak tells you, "Grim tidings do you bring this day."
Senior Sage Shibak tells you, "Let us hope that Ayabar's sacrifice helps to undo the curse we Fiun have brought to Dereth."
Senior Sage Shibak tells you, "My thanks for your services."
You've earned 2,400,000 experience.
Senior Sage Shibak gives you Fiun Spellcasting Gloves.
