Elleon claimed the Scions of Lok were working with Samael because he vowed to resurrect Lok if they helped him attain divinity. Samael planned to use the cursed lance of the ancient god Gidd to steal Velik's powers. To protect Velik, you worked with Elleon to prevent the cursed lance from falling into Samael's hands, and claimed the lance as proof of Samael's betrayal. <PCNAME>, Finally arrived in Cutthroat Harbor (weather troubles), and have news from Velika about what "S" is after. See me as soon as you can. —E. Samael has convinced the Scions of Lok that he can resurrect Lok—with their help and loyalty. Samael must have deliberately rerouted troops away from Southern Arun to protect the Scions. Without our troops, Arcadia was nearly overrun and Poporia almost fell into civil war! They're after the cursed Lance of Gidd—purportedly capable of slaying gods and stealing their power. {@LinkCreature:12#23#Slawgesh}, a Kazuur Syndicate gula, has the lance. Take it from him! Samael must not obtain that artifact! Slawgesh was just a gula. Why does a gula write a business ledger in code? Regardless, for every lock there's a key, eh? Perhaps some of Slawgesh's {@LinkCreature:12#7#gula brawlers} have a way to decipher this. Hurry! We can't intimidate a tome into giving up its secrets. We need to read this, <PCNAME>. The primer! Decoding the ledger now should be a piece of cake! And who doesn't like cake? Here's the ledger. Work quickly, so we can proceed. This is our proof that the Justicars are working with the Kazuur Syndicate? And the Lance of Gidd is indeed in gula hands? Excellent. Where? Blast! Azarel's Labyrinth is probably the most gula-infested place in the world. No mean feat to infiltrate. Inform {@LinkCreature:62#1036#Elleon} of what we've learned. Samael's either making his move or covering his tracks. Either way, we must hurry. You know how substitution ciphers work, right? Just match up the letters in the ledger with the letters in the decryption book. What have we learned? Intriguing... Samael and Akia must've been communicating in secret and Kutmaschuk must be guarding Gidd's cursed lance. Make your way to Azarel's Labyrinth. We'll split up in case any Justicars escaped our sweep. Let's meet up at the {@LinkCreature:209#1031#camp near the labyrinth}. Samael's plan becomes clear. Armed with the lance, he could slay Velik and take over the City of Wheels with little effort. Frankly, whoever controls Velika rules all of Southern Arun. We can't let that happen. We must find the {@LinkCreature:209#1030#route} to Kutmaschuk's hideout. Let's get moving. (This teleportal smells strange. It may be Kutmaschuk's scent—use this portal and enter his hideout.) The Lance of Gidd...now its power is mine! You were fools to trust me! Just kidding—Always wanted to do the whole "ancient artifact turns one evil" thing. The lance is fake, and a pretty amateurish fake at that. Looks like the gulas were going to double-cross Samael. But fake or not, this lance and the ledger are the proof we need of Samael's guilt. If Samael and the Scions of Lok get the Lance of Gidd...no, it mustn't happen! Velik might be their first target, but she won't be their last.
