Roots of the Plague
Speak with Bhairavi in Nyr

[I was actually wondering what we were doing next.] [Bhairavi] Next? We have plenty of work to do, [Player]. Antigone and Keller have been hard at work trying to find out more on the Tlaxan god Myragh, while Pten, Brayllur, Wexley, and Starn continue to explore the Fallen Menagerie. [What can I do?] [Bhairavi] I think we'd be best served having you assist with the Myragh research. We've made some major breakthroughs on that front and are working on finding the Plagueroot Temple mentioned in Selxem's tomb. [Where is it?] [Bhairavi] Ah, well there's the kicker. We have reason to believe it is within the Grand Maw, one of the most dangerous places in the King's Valley. [Oh...] [Bhairavi] It's a bit of an undertaking. I understand. So you're in right?
[Bhairavi] I know it's a bit of an open prompt, but just explore around the Maw. Perhaps we'll find a book, maybe more graves. Anything could help. If you can bring back what you find, even better. Please be careful though. The book we found seems ominous and the Temple seems dangerous. [Where is the Grand Maw?] [Bhairavi] Oh! I didn't even consider you didn't know of it. Head out of Nyr to the river, and follow it into the jungle. The river itself pours into the Maw. You can't miss it. |
Explore the Grand Maw and try to find something to bring back to Bhairavi.
Head to the Grand Maw at 350, 71, 82. On the upper floors there's a structure with a magma block inside, break the block to progress the quest. It is recommended to have a couple Antidotes on you or some way to prevent poison.

[Bhairavi] This is bad... this is so so bad. [Player], what happened? [What's going on?] [Bhairavi] We just heard from Farr. The entire town is in lockdown. There's seventeen with the Plague and counting out! I sent you looking for a temple housing a god of sickness. So... What. Did. You. Do? [I just found a statue, and took a gemstone inside.] [Bhairavi] Oh. That... could be a pretty major problem, [Player]. I've made a terrible mistake. WE'VE made a terrible mistake. This is what I get for being so overeager... This is my fault... I thought we could be more aggressive. [So now what?] [Bhairavi] We can fix this. I know we can. Go talk to Dr. Laurie. She's going to need all the help she can get. |
Talk to Dr. Laurie, she likely has her hands full and will need help.
Head to Dr. Laurie in her house at -107, 95, -113.

[Dr. Laurie] Oh, thank goodness, it's you. Things are really bad. I've been in contact with Bhairavi and she told me you should be able to help. I have no idea how this outbreak happened and the medicine you helped me get isn't working at all, according to Nurse Eris.
[What's the problem?] [Dr. Laurie] He lives in Farr. If we want to get in contact with him, you'll have to sneak into Farr. It's going to be dangerous. The crown has set up a full quarantine and has guards stationed across the city. If you get caught, you're going to be in serious trouble. [This sounds like my kind of challenge.] [Dr. Laurie] Good. My contact's name is T'Lm - he's an ex-village leader of the Tlaxans. He lives with his son, Haotl, on the west side of the town, near the armory. I hope he's not sick or trapped outside the city. [How am I going to get into Farr?] [Dr. Laurie] The city has to drain water somewhere, right? I'd check on the west side, by the Hallowed Pond. Maybe there is a sewer entrance hidden nearby. [Thank you.] [Dr. Laurie] Good luck |
Look for Velara (Farr Sewer) entrance into Farr near the Hallowed Pond.
Head into the sewers by Farr at 493, 71, 131. Sneak through quarantined Farr to talk with T'Lm

[T'Lm] Hello? How did you know I was here? [Are you T'Lm? I was sent here to find him.] [T'Lm] I... I am. Are you here to take me away like my son? [No, I was sent by Bhairavi and Dr. Laurie. They said you might be able to help me.] [T'Lm] Help you? I've not heard from Bhairavi in quite awhile. Did they send you to help with Marasmus Execratio? [Yes. I found a crystal in the Grand Maw, and when I took it, all this happened.] [T'Lm] You took one of the sacred binding crystals? No wonder Myragh has been unleashed. You must be fixing this mistake quickly, ___. [How do you know my name?] [T'Lm] There is much I know. I know of Velara below. I know of the Shamans before. I know of villages hidden away. I know of other wool, out of time and place. There is much you want to know. There is much you will learn, in time. For now though, you must fix Myragh. [How do I fix this?] [T'Lm] Below the city are sewers. One such door within there leads to the ruins of the Tlaxan settlement known as Velara, hidden below this place. Velara's magic is strong, and grew crystals that could be infused with magic. Go within. Get a crystal. Return to me. |
Find the door that leads to the ruins of Velara within the sewers.

[T'Lm] The hero returns. Successful, I feel. What did you find? [I got a Pure Crystal.] [T'Lm] Excellent. Your work is not yet done though. Nurse Eris has been slaving away over a cure. Bring her this crystal. Ask her to anoint it with C'Taz's cure. Then, bring the crystal to the Grand Maw. Myragh will be contained again. My son will be saved... Be warned though, getting to Eris' will require some serious sneaking. The guards are carefully stationed... [I'll head there right away.] [T'Lm] We will speak again, this I know. |
Sneak to Nurse Eris's hospital in Farr. (The house with the cross banners)
| Nurse Eris |

[Nurse Eris] Whoa! How did you get in here? GUARDS! [WAIT! Wait! I was sent here to help you find a cure!] [Nurse Eris] By whom?! [Dr. Laurie! She sent me to find a way to fix all this.] [Nurse Eris] Oh, well in that case, hello. What can I do for you? [I need you to take this crystal and infuse it with the cure from C'Taz.] If you did the Good Route on The Plague [Nurse Eris] Sure! Thanks to the adventurer who brought Dr. Laurie the medicine, I have just enough extra to do that. Here you go! [Wonderful, dear.] If you did the Bad Route on The Plague [Nurse Eris] I'm sorry, I don't have enough of the full cure to do that. If you were to bring me one Spirit Flower, one Haunted Earth, and one Dark Amber though, I could happily do what you want. [I'll go get those then.] [Nurse Eris] Thank you! Collect one of each ingredient you gathered in the The Plague [Nurse Eris] Ah, you got the ingredients! Excellent. Let me mix these in real quick and I'll have your crystal momentarily. [Thank you. Now I need to bring this back to the Maw...] [Nurse Eris] What's that sweetie? [Nothing! Thanks for your help. Everything should be back to normal shortly.] [Nurse Eris] Wonderful, dear. |
Head back to the Grand Maw and stay around the entrance with the crystal until dialog appears. Head down into the Maw to find the entrance of the Magenta Dungeon at [428, 34, 42] to speak with T'Lm
| T'Lm |

[T'Lm] Hello [Player]. I told you we would speak again. [T'Lm! How did you get here?] [T'Lm] I was once a guardian for Velara, and by extension the Plagueroot Temple. When I met you I knew it was time to allow a hero inside. Perhaps you could free the Maw from this curse forever. Claim the wool within. Now I believe you've earned a reward before you enter... |
