To Speak as a Dragon

Prerequisites
You must know Krombral, the Giants' language, in order to complete this quest.

Starting the Quest

 * 2) Enter Maiden's Gulch: Rescue of the Sage.

Steps

 * 2) *Note:To get to Nagafen's Lair you will need to take a lift to the third floor in the Giant Apartments, but it may appear that you can only travel up to the second floor. To get to the third floor, open the door once you arrive at the second floor and hit the "up" option on the triangular button just inside the door (you may need to run into the room and back to the lift, but there is a short delay on the lift which should allow you to do so before the lift moves up to the third floor). There will be a one-way ledge at  followed by the Oratorium of Thyr. This instance is not required for the quest, but must be completed unless you have the assistance of someone with access to the deserted version.

 * 4) Return to The Sage of Ages in Antonica on the top floor of the Tower of the Oracles. If he disappears or is not there, leave and re-enter the tower again. He tells you that you need to find 26 translated runes of Elder Dragon to learn the language.
 * 5) Gather the 26 runes (see below).
 * 6) Once you have all 26, speak to The Sage of Ages again in Antonica for your reward.
