   * Need the Eye of Ao to locate the Atropal

   * Need to do Sub-Quest 1 to gain the cooperation of Regalid's sister Agnimia Legacy to help with the rescue mission.
   * Possible other source of information - the fabled Book of Abominations written by a long deceased ranger, Cardinal Watcher. Last seen in either the hands of Thomas Dross (a Union Sentinel) or Catiara (a Gleaner and elven mage in the Guild).

5. Sub-Quest 3 - to rescue Takezo, Tara and the two Myvillionsuaco brothers and find Aura...
   (Technically all bar Takezo's player have left the game, so if we fail to rescue any but him - no big loss - but IC, we should at least try!)
   * Need to find the cellar in the Bastion of Last Hope where Sondirra overheard Percival talking about 2 prisoners being held.
   

Parallel plot points/tasks etc

1. Protect Lissa

Beings we have heard about but not yet met

• Regalid Maethos Legacy - who works for the Gleaners as an Artifact retriever, and is currently MIA whilst searching for the Flameguard (a shield) on the Plane of Fire.

MAIN QUEST - destroy the Atropal

From Matthias's divination (as well as Joseph's), we know that Regalid is alive, a prisoner and trapped inside an artifact that is located on the Plane of Fire (a place ruled by the Sultana Fatima the efreeti). We also know that we won't be able to scry/divine the precise location of the artifact.

We also know that the Green siblings have some additional information that would be useful to us...

We also have discovered that Percival is behind a plot to control Fate - this plot intends to use Acacia's stolen voice (singing a special

Sub Quest 1- to rescue Acacia's Spellsinger's stolen voice.

From the two divinations, we know that Kalitosis and Percival were definitely behind the theft and that to reverse it, we will definitely need to recover the pendant - which is currently in the possession of Percival. We also know that neither Kalitosis nor Percival are aware of us and that they are not protected from scrying. Kalitosis doesn't have any particular allies, but Percival does, though any enquiries about his allies were blocked by a higher power. Kalitosis doesn't have any particular special defenses. We also know that we definitely need to go to the Bastion of "Lost Souls" - though when the question was asked, we'd made a mistake, since we knew from Acacia that Kalitosis normally made his home in the Bastion of Lost Hope!

Sub-Quest 2 - Get the artifcacts from the dragon to protect Joseph Valorheart's temple

We know the dragon's name (Unus), and that it could be the ally of a god.

NEW MAIN QUEST - to foil a plot to control Fate

Sondirra overheard in the Bastion of Lost Hope that Percival was behind a plot to control Fate.

The basics of the plot are around sacrificing Aura (blood of the Le'Shay) on the Basalt Altar - which is apparently some sort of epic anti-magic area. To get to the Basalt Altar, Percival (and the Ha-Naga he is in league with) need to use the voice of the Spell Singer (i.e. Acacia's stolen talent) to sing certain passages from some ancient ritual. I suspect they also need to con some god to get there too.
