The Estate of Unrest

This zone went live with Live Update 32 as a free content addition to Echoes of Faydwer. The encounters in this zone range from 72^^^ Heroic to 74^^^ Heroic, with one very deadly exception.

Unlike most zones where there are quests IN the zone, this zone IS the quest, after a fashion. It is like an old Zork or Myst game, where various items related to the storyline lead you through unlocking the path until you reach the final encounter.

There is one raid mob in the zone. The Bugaboo is 80^^^x2 and walks around the grounds. He is very slow unless aroused and it is best to simply avoid him. He is not in the zone until you kill The Sadistic Bartender (which also starts the zone lockout timer), which spawns him in the yard.

There are 7 Discovery Locations in The Estate of Unrest.

As you progress through the zone, Garanel Rucksif will taunt you with messages. These messages will appear below, indented and in bold.

Trust Noone and Nothing!: Throughout the zone, you will see things that appear to be familiar. Trust the warning voice in the back of your head! A Small Chest may not be the common sight you first take it for, and those who seem to be your friends may not be so friendly!

''NOTE: In the following information, many items that must be gathered will be described in the order needed. Many of them may be collected in advance, and will be noted so.''

Caution! Invisibility, Stealth and Evac do NOT work in this zone!

''WARNING!!! The various keys and such are VERY important, but are tradeable so if someone leaves the group, be sure they hand over any keys they have before leaving! Once gone, they are gone and you will not be able to complete the zone! Once you have killed The Sadistic Bartender you are locked out of Unrest for 18 hours.''

The Story
Centuries ago a noble family, the Quellborns, left Erudin to make a new life in Faydwer. Nicadius, the husband, was a priest of Quellious as well as a musician and composer. He was accompanied by his pregnant wife, Jessa. Tragedy struck on the voyage, and Jessa, ill and near death, delivered a healthy baby girl but died soon after. In his grief and joy, Nicadius named the girl Jessa. They reached Faydwer safely and established their home in the remote southern mountain range of Butcherblock known as Dagnir's Cauldron. The body of Lady Jessa was buried on the grounds, her grave consecrated to Quellious, and a gazebo was later built on the spot. They named their new home The Estate of Rest, establishing it as a place of rest and recovery for those in need of respite from the dangers of the Mountains, and those weary of the world.

Jessa grew in peace and beauty, nurtured by her father, the senior servants Hemstall and Ryline, and Quellious. In time she reached maturity, met, was courted by and wed a dwarf of Kaladim, Kyll Rucksif. He loved her greatly, and she him, and soon she was with child. Much happiness was brought to the mansion as servants readied the new nursery in anticipation. In his happiness, Nicadius was composing a lullaby for his first grandchild, but he never got to finish it...

Kyll had a brother, Garanel Rucksif, who hated his brother and coveted his lovely wife. One dark night while Kyll was away from the castle, Garanel came to put an end to them all. Fueled by envy, hatred, and a liberal helping of strong dwarvish spirits, he crept into the mansion and slaughtered everyone. The last to die was Nicadius himself, who had been standing vigil that night in the chapel above the conservatory. Perhaps Nicadius cried out in that final moment, for as the madman struck him down Quellious came, and in Her ire cursed Garanel to forever haunt the scene of his evil, and Garanel dropped dead on the spot.

Someone must have buried the victims behind the mansion, but there were no blessings placed on this cursed ground. Perhaps Garanel drove them off before they could finish. In any event Kyll never made it home, at least in life, but his ghost stands forever in the yard trying to get to Jessa to save her despite his wounds.

Recently, drawn by the dark energies of this haunted mansion, a priest of Fear has come to torture the eternal residents, defiling the chapel and making Fear supreme here. It is unclear if he even knows that Garanel needs little help to twist forever in the evil winds of his own deeds. Deep beneath The Estate of Unrest he waits, and watches...



The Grounds

 * I sense an insect has crawled into my yard. This trespasser is not welcome in the home of Garanel!

All mobs on the exterior of the mansion, with the exception of The Bugaboo, are level 72^^^ or 73^^^ Heroic.

Entrance
Lining the entrance are many stone imp-like gargoyles, called Cucuy. Ahead of you is the Fountain and the Hedge Maze.

Fountain
There is a chess piece in the water. Gather it. It is one of 4 chess pieces that must be found for the Game Room.



Hedge Maze
As you progress through the maze, dodging the locals, you will need to find the 2 halves of the Front Door Key! One half of the key is in each half of the maze.


 * uninvited guest
 * endlessly lost traveler

The Hallowed Gazebo
The ghost of Jessa Quellborn stands here.

A Warning and a Gift

 * Take refuge here, for it will be the only place you find peace on this estate.


 * I am Jessa Quellborn of Erudin, and this is my family's nightmare...

Did you used to live here?


 * No, I passed from this world before this house was constructed. My husband and daughter called this place home before... the cursings.


 * Centuries ago this was a place of rest and respite. My family devoutly followed the Goddess of Tranquility, Quellious.  Nicadius, my husband, was a priest of Peace and dedicated these grounds to giving refuge to the weary and troubled traveler.  My infant daughter, Jessa, named for her dying mother, was raised here.  Tranquility and harmony reigned here... that was until he came... 


 * The murderer's name was Garanel Rucksif... fueled by envy, malice, and liquor he crept into the house and slew all the inhabitants in cold blood. As he struck down my husband in Her own humble chapel, Quellious cursed the murderer to never know rest!  With that the dwarf fell, struck dead. 


 * Although Garanel haunted this place from that day, it was his punishment alone. That was until the priest of Fear discovered this place, drawn by the dark spirit.  Through the vile power of Thule, he raised the dead and brought the darkness that now touches everything on these grounds.


 * My good and loving husband buried me where this gazebo now stands. With proper rites and blessings in the Tranquil One's name I was laid to rest.  Fear has no power over my resting place.  But my husband and daughter... you must release them from this nightmare.


 * You must destroy the dark heart of this place, the corrupted spirit of Garanel Rucksif. First gain entry to the house by finding the two parts of the front door key within the hedge maze.

A Mother's Love...
After you have freed Jessa from the ghosts and spectres that were tormenting her, and have spoken with her father, return to talk to her mother. She will give you a locket in the hopes that her daughter might realize how much she loved her. Return with this to Jessa Quellborn-Rucksif's Bedroom and give Jessa the locket.

Moat
There is a chess piece in the moat (at 99.03,-10.44,137.50 ) fairly near the Gazebo. Gather it. It is one of 4 King's Field Pawns that must be found for the Game Room.


 * careless swimmer
 * accumulation of drowned sorrows

Western Yard

 * crazed ghoul
 * death beetle
 * jack-o-lantern
 * mortified hog farmer
 * uninvited guest
 * hungering hellhog - drops the Cursed Swine Meat you will need later in the Kitchen.
 * wrathful hellhound

The Graves of Unrest

 * disturbed corpse
 * Irritated Chef Demme - drops the recipe, Chef Demme's Soothing Supper that you will need later in the Kitchen.

Eastern Yard
You will find the ghost of a dwarf here, named Kyll Rucksif, frantically fighting off death beetles and other mobs. Save him.


 * Ghost of Kyll Rucksif
 * wrathful hellhound
 * relentless bonegrasp
 * death beetle


 * Please... I must... speak to... you...

Once you have cleared the area around Kyll, speak to him.


 * I... I am too... tired... to go on. Please... take my hammer... and save Jessa.  I am... sorry... I failed you... my love.

You receive a ghostly hammer. Now go to Jessa's Bedroom and use the hammer to force open the door.

NOTE: You can do this step before entering the mansion.

Ground Floor
You must have the 2 halves of the Front Door Key from the Hedge Maze to unlock the front door!


 * Get out of my house, trespasser!

Entry Hall

 * doomed visitant
 * cursed drifter

The Towers
The first door in the east and west hallways lead to the towers.

You need the 2 Screwloose's Lever Screw (from Screwloose the Mad Tinkerer in the Game Room) to complete this stage.

Fight your way to the top of each tower, clearing them. At the top of each is a lever. Use the screws you found to repair them. Now, split your group, half to each tower. You need to count down and pull the levers VERY closely together. This unlocks the and spawns a couple of small mobs in the towers. If you are lucky you have 2 tanks and 2 healers, right?

Kitchen and Pantry
The only door on the southern wall of the back hallway leads to the kitchen.

Kill the kitchen helpers, then click on the 2 cupboards in the Pantry to collect the Rotted Vegetables and. The enraged hellcat will spawn. After you dispatch the un-nice kitty, go to the stove.


 * This stove was once used by the chef of the house to create extraordinary meals for visitors.

The person with the recipe and the ingredients will need to right-click the stove and choose to cook the meal. While doing this several enraged cooks will spawn and attack the cook. The group must keep the mobs off the cook long enough to complete making the Soothing Supper.


 * You call that filth you tossed together a meal?! Fitting... you strike me as the type that enjoys devouring pig slop!


 * This dumbwaiter looks like it goes up to the second floor. It was used to carry prepared meals from the kitchen to the dining room.

Now right-click on the dumbwaiter to send the meal upstairs.


 * kitchen helper
 * enraged hellcat

There is a chess piece on the counter by the stove. Gather it. It is one of 4 chess pieces that must be found for the Game Room.

Bar
The bar is in the southeast corner of the ground floor.

On the corner of the bar is a bottle of Halasian Whiskey you can harvest. There is no use known for this, though.

There is a chess piece in a red goblet on the North end of the bar, the King's Field Pawn. Gather it. It is one of 4 chess pieces that must be found for the Game Room.


 * doomed visitant
 * enraged hellcat
 * cursed drifter
 * uninvited guest

After killing all of the bar's patrons, The Sadistic Bartender spawns, planning to pin you for the tab! He drops a Very Watered Down Cocktail and Tumpy's Tankard.

'You will pay for that, trespasser! That servant was loyal to me.'

You can now use the Very Watered Down Cocktail to snuff the fire in the fireplace and retrieve the Unrest Backdoor Key. This key unlocks the door in the back of the bar (at -35,4,175 ) leading to the Eastern Yard.

Now you need to go to the Eastern Yard and talk to the Ghost of Kyll Rucksif.

Game Room
A note tells you that 4 chess pieces are missing. They can be found in the Moat, Fountain, Bar and Kitchen. Restoring the chess pieces summons Screwloose the Mad Tinkerer and his haywire clockwork! Bomb in a bag, bomb in a bag! Quick, who has the bomb?


 * Someone wants to finish the game, do they? Well I have a game for them to play!


 * Bomb in a bag! HAHAHA!

Quick! Everyone check their bags, someone has a bomb! Destroy it or run to the far side of the room and take your 80% damage if you don't want to kill your friends!

Screwloose drops 2 VERY important items, 2 Screwloose's Lever Screws! You will need these to repair the levers in the Towers. He also drops the amazing Bag of Broken Cogs which produces a never-ending supply of thrown ammo!


 * Why is it I cannot see into your soul like all of the other filth that walks my halls? How do you hide it from me?

Foyer
Once you kill the 4 victims of the battlemaster, Torklar Battlemaster himself appears on the landing of the staircase.


 * Foul trespasser! Disgusting interloper!  You can't win!  Why do you even try...

Library

 * doomed visitant

Sitting Room

 * possessed flame

Conservatory
There is a piano here, with a note on top, but you need music to play it. Once you find the music (in The Fallow Nursery, and take it to Nicadius Quellborn (so he can finish it) you can return here and play it. Just like the stove, several provoked musicians will spawn while you play the piano. Keep them off the pianist until the tune is finished. This opens a secret door in this room that leads up to the The Defiled Chapel.


 * Your music is horrible! Your skill is pathetic.  The sad thing is, that is the most talent you have displayed yet!

Jessa Quellborn-Rucksif's Bedroom
Use the ghostly hammer given to you by the Ghost of Kyll Rucksif in the Eastern Yard to batter down the door.


 * Seeing her suffering amuses me. Seeing your suffering will be exulting!  There will be no finer pleasure than watching you writhe in pain!

If there is a more bizarre tableau in all of Unrest, these eyes have not seen it. When you enter her room, Jessa's spirit stands on her bed, agitation and crippling remorse in her every movement. Before her are 2 rows of ghosts: the first are tormenting haunts, shaking their fingers at her and torturing her with reminders of her life and death. Behind that group stand a half-dozen mocking children. Scattered around the room are a number of manifestations of anguish. (Note: The manifestations of anguish will dispel your buffs.)


 * She had no birth... she has no worth!


 * Found murdered in cold blood... your death was two for one!


 * You tried so hard for the perfect life... it all came to an end with the cut of a knife!

Torment's End
Like the Dementors in Harry Potter, the manifestations are actually responsible for the tormenting of Jessa's spirit. Killing them will fraw the attention of the children, revealing them as the manifestations they were all along. After they are destroyed, dispatch the tormenting haunts.


 * The tormenting... the ridicule... has it finally ended?


 * They are gone, but still no rest. Eternal sorrow I suffer... my loss... my baby.


 * The nursery? No!  No one is to go in there!  It was meant for a child that will never be born!  That door  must'nt ever be opened.  It would destroy my heart to look upon it.


 * No, you don't understand... you can't understand... the grief, the pain. I feel so alone.

There must be someone who can help?

With the banishment of the last of her tormentors, Jessa is freed. However, she still will not give you the key to the Nursery, telling you it must remain sealed forever. Sounds like it is time to have another chat with her father.

...Knows No Bounds!
Once you have spoken to Nicadius and Jessa Quellborn again, return here with the locket her mother gave you, and give it to Jessa.

''This is your mother's locket. She wants you to have it.''


 * My mother? I never knew my mother.  She died before I can remember.  But I always felt her spirit around me as I lived.  Warm, caring, loving.  I feel it radiating from this locket now.

She says she loves you and understands the pain of loss you are going through.


 * Thank you. I can feel the truth and her strength in your words.  I am ready to give you the key, but you must excuse me for not wanting to look upon the room now.  I don't have the strength for that yet.

When you have reassured her of her mother's love, her sadness is at last lifted and she will give you the Nursery Key. You may now proceed to The Fallow Nursery

''NOTE: On launch day, Jessa's ghost was a male ghost in a mitered bishop's hat. I am sure SOE will fix this soon...''

The Fallow Nursery

 * Will you play with me?


 * a spirit child
 * several billy dolls
 * Billy

On the Nursery bookshelf, collect the Incomplete Hymn of Tranquility. This needs to be taken to Nicadius Quellborn so he can finish it.

Servants Quarters

 * eternal servant

In the corner (at -18.67,11.89,115.15 ) you will find an Oil Can. Gather it. Proceed to the balcony and oil the lock mechanism.

Study
Dispatch 3 groups of 3 books (tome of wizardy, tome of illusions, tome of warlock arts), then the tome of binding, to unlock the door to Nicadius's Master Bedroom

The Dining Room
Here you will need to find the key to the Servants Quarters.


 * eternal servant
 * doomed visitant

Nicadius's Master Bedroom

 * Behold the pathetic soul that once claimed this house. Know that I will kill you, trespasser, just as surely as I destroyed him!

The shade of Nicadius Quellborn sits on the bed. As you approach you will be attacked by one or more shrouded horrors, which are invisible until they attack. When you finish them, speak with Nicadius. If you have not yet removed the spirits tormenting his daughter, although you may encourage or curse him, he will respond to neither.

A Mother's Love...
You have freed Jessa from her tormentors but she can't bear to give you the key to the Nursery. Speak with Nicadius! He will tell you that his daughter might know peace if she could only know how much her mother loved her! Go to the Gazebo and talk to her about it.

Music Is the Key!
You have found the Incomplete Hymn of Tranquility, but must return to the composer for help in finishing it. Once you have the sheet of music, take it to The Conservatory.

Balcony
This step requires the Oil Can found in the Servants Quarters.


 * cucuy
 * will-o-wisp

On the North side of the balcony you will find a lock mechanism in need of oiling. Use the oil can you got in the Servants Quarters. This unlocks the door of the Chapel.


 * I will have your soul! You can't keep it hidden from me for long, trespasser.

The Defiled Chapel

 * The Priest of Fear - needless to say, he will cast Fear... alot! he always drops Polished Symbol of the Faceless. Use this symbol to unlock the bookcases hiding the passage down to the Dungeon in the Library. See his page for a list of the rest of his known drops.


 * You continue to upset me, trespasser... I will break your brittle bones! I will rend your soft flesh!  I am god here!

The Dungeon

 * You want to see the mind of Garanel?! You want to see what shapes such nightmares?!  Well, proceed trespasser, and witness my terror!

After unlocking the secret door in the Library, you swing the bookcases back, revealing a hole in the floor leading down to the Dungeon. Proceed carefully! The mist hides many terrors, and some will appear to be friends!


 * bone barbed skeleton
 * shrouded horror
 * condemned dead
 * doppleganger
 * possessed flame

The Torture Chamber of the Damned

 * Why do you take steps that will only lead to your demise, trespasser? You know you can never win!


 * mangled mass of corpses
 * The Festering Hag

Pool of Blood

 * The Hemogoblin
 * coagulation


 * I can feel your quickly beating heart. Excellent... The sound will lead me to your worthless soul.  Then you will be mine!

Innoruuk take yer fancy white cloak, swim across the bloody pool unless you like falling damage!


 * I see now where you hide your soul, trespasser... You sit there all smug thinking you are safe behind your pane of glass. Well you are no longer safe from me!

The Heart of Unrest
'Look upon the relics of my mortal coil and tremble... for it will be the last thing you see in your pathetic life!'


 * Garanel's Shade
 * shard of Garanel
 * fragment of Garanel
