What does this information mean?

Starting the Quest

1. Approach the ravine in Lavastorm that leads to the entry to Maiden's Gulch and speak to Sebire the Historian, who tells you about the sage who needs rescuing.
2. Find at least one level 50 character willing to zone a group of players into the Rescue of the Sage instance of Maiden's Gulch.
3. Kill the named drakota, Vyr'drais the Vicious, and hail The Sage of the Ages on the platform behind him to start the quest.
   
   

NOTE: You MUST have learned

1. Krombral (Giant-language) before entering Solusek's Eye and
2. Druzaic (from Words of Pure Magic Quest) before talking to The Sage of the Ages

or you won't advance the quest.

Steps

1. Once you've started the quest with the Sage, travel deep into Solusek's Eye and enter the Oratorium of Thyr.
2. Fight your way through the Oratorium (level 50-51^^ giants) to 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. It might even possible to heal from the cage (It works as of Aug/25/06). If you can solo the Flamelord, it is possible to bow pull him to the cage and complete the instance solo.
3. Defeat Flamelord Thyr and exit the Oratorium.
4. Use the gong to have your group enter 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 Lord Nagafen once you enter.
5. Speak to Majordomo Inferinus who tells you that you need to learn the language Elder Dragon to be able to speak to Lord Nagafen.
6. Speak to the Sage of Ages in Antonica on the top floor of the Oracle Tower. He tells you that you need to find 26 translated runes of Elder Dragon to learn the language.
7. Gather the 26 runes and speak to The Sage of the Ages again.
