The Court of the Blades is a Maj'Dul Court which believes that they must lead the Dervin Empire through military force in order to expand it.[1] Their primary responsibility for the city of Maj'Dul is the protection of it against the many hostile creatures found in the Desert of Ro, specifically the Rujarkian Orcs. Through this timeline you aid them in their cause, as well as uncover the deep insanity of their ruler, Dukarem, Caliph of the Blades.
Completion of this timeline results in access to the instance The Court of the Blades: Dukarem's Assault, and is necessary for the signature quest The Courts of Maj'Dul: Of Fate and Destiny.
Gaining Entrance to the Court[]
You need to have kindly faction (20,000+) with the Court of the Blades to enter their headquarters in Maj'Dul. You can earn faction with the Court of the Blades in the following ways:
- In Maj'Dul, kill guards, bodyguards, patrollers, trainees or officers from an opposing Court.
- Upon killing a rival court mob, loot their corpse to receive an insignia token.
- You can exchange these tokens with The Court of the Blades consul on the first floor of the Tower of the Moon. Each token is worth +250 faction for the court you turn it into, and -250 faction with the opposing courts.
- Killing tower guards from the opposing factions and collecting their insignia tokens is the fastest method for raising your faction with a Court. It is not required for you to take control of the towers. Instead, you simply let the tower guards respawn and kill them again.
