General Staginar

Travel to Grimling Forest and find General Staginar.

You say, "Hail, General Staginar"

General Staginar says "Greetings Sanuuven. Are you here to serve in the war against the grimling horde?"

You say, "I am here to serve in the war"

General Staginar says "As you probably know, we've been battling the grunts for nearly a generation now. They have proven to be a challenging opponent. We've inflicted great casualties upon their kind in this war, yet somehow, they seem to grow even more numerous. Barring some miracle, they will become a serious threat to Shar Vahl very soon. One remaining strategy has a chance of bringing us victory, but none have met the requirements for its implementation."

You say, "what requirements"

General Staginar says "Our intelligence has provided us with some information about the enemy. They blindly follow a being they refer to as 'the master'. Our high spiritists have sensed a powerful presence from the caverns beyond our mines, but only those who possess a special key can venture there. None who have obtained the key and ventured into the caverns have been seen alive again."

You say, "what key"

General Staginar says "The grimling high commander holds half of a magical acrylia obelisk that will transport the wielder to their master's stronghold. I have slain the high commander who held the other half of the obelisk and I have the knowledge of it's construction. I will only give it to one who has proven to be a powerful soldier, for nothing less would stand a chance against the enemy ruler."

You say, "what high commander"

General Staginar says "The grimling high commander will only appear if their compound to the north is overrun. There are two encampments near the compound that will need to be invaded as well in order to secure the area. It is a very complex mission and I will only authorize you to lead it if you have demonstrated competence. Serve our people by successfully completing the lesser raids here in the forest. Bring me the Golden Medal of the Shar Vahl as proof of your prowess, or, if you are already at least as powerful as I am, there is another test that will give me confidence in your abilities."

You say, "what test"

General Staginar says "If you are less experienced than I am, performing this task will gain you nothing. With that in mind, take this box and venture through the mines and into the caverns. Combine in it Gooplart's tooth, Gizgargank's scalp, Grikplag's skull, Gnildaria's eye, Gnerpokkel's heart, Gilgaplank's toes, the husk of the summoned burrower, and the shackles of a Vah Shir captive. Return to me with the Box of the Hero of Shar Vahl and I will send a team of our veterans to escort you into battle."

General Staginar gives you Box of the General's Challenge

Collect and combine the request items to receive Box of the Hero of Shar Vahl

Turn in the Box of the Hero of Shar Vahl or the Golden Medal of the Shar Vahl to General Staginar

General Staginar says "Soldier, that's some fine work! The horde will not easily recover from the destruction you have inflicted upon their kind. You have earned an opportunity to wrestle the key from the grimling high commander. Take these orders to Veteran Cullin. If you can take possession of the grimling bases to the north and defeat the grimling high commander, return to me with his half of the obelisk and the battle orders. Show the grunts no mercy, Sanuuven! Good luck!")

Receive Staginar's Battle Orders

Grimling War

Find Veteran Cullin

You say, "Hail, Veteran Cullin."

"Veteran Cullin nods at you in acknowledgement, Sanuuven, you're welcome to enjoy the sanctuary we have established here, but the safety we provide comes at a price. You must take up arms and join in the war against the grimlings. Take what you need and rest up, then get out there and make a dent in the numbers of their horde!"

Give Veteran Cullin Staginar's Battle Orders

Veteran Cullin says, "Finally! An army with the courage to bring these scum to their knees! I pray that you have the numbers and the prowess to match your heart or we'll be fed to the grunts for dinner tonight. The general instructed me to ready my troops when he gave you his orders, follow me and I'll brief you all together."

Complete Grimling War by killing the Grimling High Commander and loot the Arm of the Grimling High Commander. Give the arm to Veteran Cullin.

Veteran Cullin says, "Sanuuven! you've surpassed my most optimistic hopes and conquered the grimling stronghold. Please accept this medallion as a token of the gratitude of all Vah Shir. The Jharin will tell tales of your victory as long as our people exist. Your name shall be held in reverence from this day forward. Take the piece of the acrylia obelisk back to the general and he will isntuct you further. It has been an honor serving with you, farewell!"

Receive Medallion of the Hero of Shar Vahl and Acrylia Obelisk Half.

Give General Staginar the Acrylia Obelisk Half

"Sanuuven, your actions have earned you the respect of all Vah Shir. Upon your shoulders now rests the hope of our people. This hollow acrylia obelisk is the key that will gain you entry to the stronghold of the master of the grimling horde. Once there, you will need to collect enchanted pieces of acrylia from the enemy's vile minions. Once you have collected all five of them, you must place the obelisk into this smelting pot with the acrylia pieces. A special key will form inside that will grant you access to the deepest chamber of the stronghold."

Receive Hollow Acrylia Obelisk and Enchanted Acrylia Smelting Pot

"No one knows what lie beyond, what dangers you may face, or what trials you must overcome. No one who has ventured into the stronghold has returned to inform us of the dangers it may hold. Now, more than ever, we pray for the spirits of our ancestors to watch over and protect you. Now, round up an army of your most skilled and trusted friends and rid us of this menace!"
