A Compassionate Task

Revision as of 17:57, 28 March 2007 by JC the Builder (Talk | contribs)

You must visit the Shrine of Compassion on either Trammel or Felucca facets. Speak the mantra "mu" to be presented with the quest. This quest can only be completed one time per character.

Objective

The heart can be found on Large Orge Lords

You must venture to Despise dungeon and kill a Large Orge Lord. To force the large orge to appear, kill normal Orges and Orge Lords. Eventually a message will appear over your head about hearing a large roar. This indicates the Large Orge Lord has appeared in a random part of the dungeon. Only one heart spawns on each corpse, so you must get looting rights and be lucky if you are not alone. Once you have obtained a heart return to the Compassion shrine, toggle the heart as quest item, and speak the word "mu".

Lore

Accepting

As you meditate on the virtue of Compassion, you start to feel utter despise towards the human race. The feeling burns intensely in your heart, filling you with blind rage and a compulsion to maim and torture any human that dare enter your home.

As the feeling begins to fade, you see a vision of a crystal ball resting upon a pedestal, and you somehow know that your path lies in that direction.

Completing

You place the blackened heart on the Shrine of Compassion and begin to meditate. Sadness overcomes you as you think about the fate of the orge. Astaroth's influence in the orge's life corrupted his heart to the extent that he was consumed by despise of the human race that his capability to feel content with his life, much less to find true happiness, was completely taken away from him.

When you open your eyes, you notice that the orge's corrupted heart has been purified by Compassion. You pick up the Heart of Compassion, as you have a feeling that you'll need it later if you hope to do your part in battling Astaroth's plan.
