The History of Pyrrus: Part 1

The History of Pyrrus: Part 1 is a long main quest which tracks your progress as you complete the "Relic of the Past" quests. It tells the story of Lord Pyrrus and is one of the required tasks to complete The Beginning Of The End which give you Sapphira's Half-Broken Locket and allow you into Pyrrus' Solar to fight Lord Pyrrus.

Valuna will give you hints to where you can find the next item, and then you'll be required to bring each item back to her. Most of the items are drops from monsters, some are looted or rewarded in a quest.

Each dropped item triggers its own quest that only requires you bring the item back to Valuna to collect a coin and XP reward, though the objects need to be brought in order. (It is possible to obtain items and their quests out order by picking up drops for players on other steps.)

'' Valuna wants me to learn the 2nd part of the true history of Pyrrus. She explains that this will be a lot of work, and the objects will be difficult to find, but knowing the enemy I face is key for my victory over Pyrrus. ''

Picking up quest
[continued from Creature Comforts]

You: "Brilliant! How do we do that?"

Valuna: "My divination skills are based upon touch. The Ministers have been bringing me old relics from the past. When I touch these relics, I am able to see their place in time. Each object tells a unique story, or a fragment of a story. We must collect as many different objects as possible, and try to put together the story of what happened to the sacred piece of Henosis. If we know how the piece was lost, then we'll know exactly where to look for it. But of course most of this will depend upon you, ."

You: "Go on..."

Valuna: "Only you can collect these relics. I cannot leave the tent, and even if I could, I'm far too old to battle the deadly monsters that often carry these objects. You must slay these beasts, and then bring the objects back for me to read. And when we at last learn where the missing piece of Henosis is, it will be up to you to retrieve it."

You: "How will I know what the objects are, or which monsters carry them?"

Valuna: "The objects will be unique, and will stand out. I'm sure you'll recognize them upon sight. The objects are scattered throughout the realm, but not all of them are carried by monsters. You'll have to search the nooks and crannies of this whole terrible place. And as to which monsters carry the objects, I cannot say. Vile beasts of every shape and size have long been drawn to Pyrrus, who embraces them all. They remind him of home."

You: "Home? But wasn't Pyrrus orphaned as a boy during the Shadow Years?"

Valuna: "He was, and it was Mallok who took the child in and raised Pyrrus as if he were his own. Pyrrus grew up among Mallok's many vile monsters. They were the boy's family, and evil Mallok was father to them all. , you must stop Pyrrus from resurrecting Mallok! Please say that you will!"

You: "I will do this Valuna."

Valuna: "I am so glad to have you aboard, ."

After turning in last item

Valuna: "We have learned the entire story of Pyrrus from the time of his arrival in Ardent to his depature. Soon history may ask more of us."

You "What now Valuna?"

Valuna: "You must tell the Benefactress what you have learned. She will know what to do next."

Talking to The Benefactress

[probably missing alternate tests if related main quests aren't done.] The Benefactress: "Good day to you, hero!"

You "I was sent here by Valuna."

The Benefactress: "Then the time is now... I am both inspired and in shock dear, ."

You "What do you mean?"

The Benefactress: "You have helped the Brindles greatly in their hour of need, and proven yourself not only an ally, but a friend."

You "Thank you, Benefactress."

The Benefactress: "And now you have helped Valuna, and have learned the story of how Pyrrus came to be. You have studied your opponent, and know the originations of your foe."

You "I have done all of this yes."

The Benefactress: "For years both Valuna and myself, along with the Brindles, have attempted to defeat Pyrrus, but all of our attempts were in vain. And now, with the opening of the gates of Pyrron, the very gates that Pyrrus chose to open himself, his downfall is finally upon us!"

You "Do you really think so Benefactress?"

The Benefactress: "I know so. As we begin the final trek, and attempt to gain access into Pyrrus inner sanctums, we prepare ourselves to defeat Pyrrus, once and for all."
