||
+ | #*If you have already completed this quest on at least one character, you can transfer the [[Tablet of Draconic Runes]] to any character on your account, as it is an heirloom.

||
− | #Just before you reach the Oratorium there is a ledge you must jump down ( -103, -614, -292 ). |
||
− | # Fight your way through the Oratorium (level 50-51^^ giants) to {{Named|Flamelord Thyr}}. |
||
− | #* '''HAVE A NON-CRITICAL PARTY MEMBER HAIL THE FLAMELORD.''' The person hailing the Flamelord is temporarily banished to a cage from which they cannot escape. The person doing the hailing should obviously not be your main tank. Conjurers, Necromancers and Illusionists are able to use their pet while in the cage. It is also possible to cast down on the Flamelord and to heal from the cage. If you can solo the Flamelord, it is possible to range pull him to the cage and complete the instance solo, but the task is difficult. |
||
− | #* '''NOTE''': some players have had trouble soloing the instance. Flamelord has been known to not aggro after clearing the zone. |
||
− | # Defeat {{Named|Flamelord Thyr}} and exit the Oratorium. |
||
− | #* After defeating Thyr, you gain access to a new version of the zone called '''Oratorium of Thyr (Deserted)''' which will allow you to pass through later without fighting. |
||
− | # Use the gong to have your group enter {{Instance|Nagafen's Lair}}. Because you do not know the Elder Dragon language (the whole point of this quest is to learn it), you can't speak to {{Named|Lord Nagafen}} once you enter. |

If you're high level (perhaps on the swashie epic repercussions quest), you may want to pick up several quests, set your aa slider correctly and chrono to level 50 to grind out some xp while you're here, there is even an HQ to kill 100 nightbloods you can pick up in Rivervale (By Hook or by Crook). |

Karan
Translated Rune | Zone | Building/Area | Location |
Vee | Qeynos Capitol District | Concordium Tower | Take the yellow teleporter up and head to the bottom. The scroll is under the stairs on the left. ( 698, 82, 127 ) |
Aerr | Stormhold | Library | On a bookshelf across from the door on the opposite wall between tables, look for a book slightly out from the others. ( -127, -32, -140 ) (You get access by clicking on a grate in the floor at ( 5, -26, -121 ) on the second level down in Stormhold.) |
Phar | The Thundering Steppes | Village of Thundermist | A bag behind the merchant's counter in the house with the ambassador. ( 609, 0, -86 ) |
Shi | The Ruins of Varsoon | Tome of Life's room | The book with the blue spine on the east wall. ( 9, 4, 72 ) (on "Center" map) |
Mir | The Ruins of Varsoon | Workshop of the Enchanter | A scroll next to blue book. ( 256, -3, 133 ) |
Feerrott
Translated Rune | Zone | Building/Area | Location |
Gresh | The Feerrott | The Hidden Camp | Go inside the tent behind Merchant Murgina and look up. The scroll is standing on its end next to the center pole up top. ( -149, 14, 187 ) |
Draedan | The Feerrott | Golgoth Bridge | Under the bridge, facing west, a brown tome leaning up against center support pillar of bridge. ( -342, -8, 492 ) |
Xak | The Feerrott | The Temple of Alliz | On the lower level, atop a table next to a vase. ( -329, -5, 849 ) |
Rakta | The Temple of Cazic-Thule | Room next to The Pool of Dread | Next to some small steps. ( -35, 0, 11 ) |
Trena | The Temple of Cazic-Thule | The Pool of Dread | Next to some small steps. ( 3, -2, 6 ) |
Trana | The Temple of Cazic-Thule | Ux Uval's room | Up on a table. ( 0, -12, -98 ) |
Voth | The Obelisk of Lost Souls | Near the instrument of torture's room | On level 1, on a table. ( -48, 594, 286 ) |
Sissthra | The Obelisk of Lost Souls | The Aethenaeum of Shadows | On level 3, the scroll is near a candle. ( -429, 396, 244 ) |
Rett | The Obelisk of Lost Souls | The Medium of Cron's room | On level 3, next to a cabinet near the Medium of Cron. ( -436, 371, 332 ) |
- Sissthra and Rett Runes: You don't have to complete the access quest Summoning the Creator in order to unlock the door leading to the lower levels. When you're in the central chamber and the purple glowing exit is behind you, then the way forward is level 1, the way to the right is level 2.
- Voth Rune: You will either have to complete the access quest Entrance into the Obelisk or use the Feerrott zone-in which puts you just inside the Obelisk.
- Note: You no longer need to complete any access quests once the zone is greyed out for your character. However, you no longer need to kill the Labyrinth Shadow and the Keeper of Nihility to reach level 3. EDIT: 7/1/18: At 110, I had to complete all unlock quests and kill named bosses to unlock all doors to get to Level 3.
- The simplest entrance to the obelisk might be commonlands, take the griffin to Nektulos Station, and then head toward obelisk entrance, kill the shadowed men and you will see a purple glow, click it and you're in or druid or wiz portal to Antonica which is right by an entrance. If you're high level (perhaps on the swashie epic repercussions quest), you may want to pick up several quests, set your aa slider correctly and chrono to level 50 to grind out some xp while you're here, there is even an HQ to kill 100 nightbloods you can pick up in Rivervale (By Hook or by Crook).

Instructions for getting good toons into Freeport safely for the Fen rune. There are four guards along the route, all level 45 Heroic, but invis worked on all of them.
- From the Commonlands, head to the entrance of the Thieves Way just south of the main Freeport gate. ( -1245, -82, 121 )
- Enter the Thieves Way. The entrance to Freeport North is across the room. Find a click-able grate in the wall. All four portals to the different districts of Freeport are in this room, so make sure you enter North Freeport. ( -123, 1, 50 )
- Enter North Freeport. Follow the wall away from the sewer entrance until you see a ramp going upward to your right. Take the ramp. A guard stands at the bottom of the ramp.
- The Academy of Arcane Science is at the top of ramp. There are two guards at the door of the academy, but no other potential attackers.
- Enter the academy, turn left, and take the left elevator to the upper balcony.
- There is one last skeleton guard standing watch up here, but if you keep to the ledge, you can get to the book without aggro. If using invis, it will break when you click on the book.
- Get your rune from the book (green book standing on edge on the table) and port out.
