Part 1: Don’t Judge a Book…
Brackenbury
While in Brackenbury, speak to Nedyn (1), who is standing near the sanitarium. She’s muttering to herself and fixated on the pages of a well-worn tome, seemingly oblivious to the blooming flowers and the cool, fragrant breeze.
Talk to her and she explains that she’s an animancer at the sanitarium and researching matters related to Waidwen’s Legacy, sticking souls and conquering death. She is looking for the manuscript called the Theorems of Pandgram, located in the Hall of Revealed Mysteries’ Elder Archives. Tell her you will persuade Grimda (who doesn’t like to promote animancy) to give you this literature to start this quest.
New Quest: The Theorems of Pandgram
Objective: Go to the Hall of Revealed Mysteries in Copperlane
Part 2: Book Search
Copperlane
Hall of Revealed Mysteries
Head to Copperlane and enter the Halls of Revealed Mysteries. The quest updates when you enter the establishment.
Quest Updated
Objective: Find the Elder Archives
Now you must find the Elder Archives to find this book you’re looking for. Alternatively, you could blow the whistle on Nedyn and go to the back of the library and speak to Grimda (2). Tell her, “An animancer named Nedyn asked me to retrieve the Theorems of Pandgram from the Elder Archives.” With that, she will hide the book and thank you, and the quest ends. This is the quick way to complete the quest, and it gives you Minor Positive Reactivity in Defiance Bay. But that’s no fun.
Instead of tattling on Nedyn, do not talk to Grimda. Instead, enter the hallway to her left and unlock the door (3) at the hall’s north end. Use 4 Mechanics + 5 Lockpicks or 5 Mechanics.
Quest Updated
Objective: Get the Theorems of Pandgram
Your quest updates once you’re inside the back room. Now you must find the theorems. Enter Scouting mode so you can detect the trap on the chest (4) near the left wall. If you can’t disarm the trap, then trigger it. It’s nothing more than a malignant cloud. Inside the chest is the Theorems of Pandgram.
Quest Updated
Objective: Return to Nedyn outside the Brackenbury Sanitarium
With the book in hand, the quest updates (you have to return to Nedyn). Unless you have a stealthy character, you must fight your way out of the Hall of Revealed Mysteries. A bunch of pissed-off librarians are after you. In the previous hallway, defeat the Priest of Wael and then head toward the exit using the far open door (5). Battle Fexa, Jani Haukka, two Scriveners, and two Priests of Wael. If you can contain the battle and keep it near the entrance, you won’t have to waste all the lives in the building. After the initial battle, escape the building the way you entered (6).
Part 3: Last Page
Brackenbury
Return to Nedyn (1) in Brackenbury. She still stands in front of the sanitarium. She tells you she heard there was a massacre at the temple. Reply how you wish: Benevolent, Stoic, Passionate, Cruel, or Deceptive. She says she believed no one would get hurt. You can then reply: Benevolent, Stoic, Aggressive, or Cruel. When you deliver the book, the quest is complete.
