In the Shadow of Virtue - Lost and Found Part 3 is a quest within the In the Shadow of Virtue event cycle. Unlike the other quests which you can see the progress and details from the quest gump or the quest log, it follows classic keyword style.

Avery

The quest begins by visiting Avery, the falsely prosecuted Captain. He is recently absolved of the crime and pardoned by the Queen Dawn. He can be found inside the Cat's Lair Inn in Britain. He responds to specific keywords:

  • Prison: I spent 8 months in prison for a crime I didn't commit. Met some interesting folk there.
  • Crime: Casca murdered the council. I went to prison for it, Casca got caught, Queen Dawn pardoned me.
  • Casca: Casca was our king for a brief period. He really made a mess of things.
  • Sherry: Sherry visited me several times in prison, I have nothing but good things to say about her.
  • Sorry: Dont' be sorry, it's not your fault.I saw another side of life. I met some folk. I'll get over it.
  • Folk': I met Ricardo there. He was a good friend to me. Stark raving mad, but a good stroy teller.
  • Ricardo: He was once a master thief. Now he just a crazy old mad who tell stories about lost treasure.
  • Stories: I don't really want to talk about my time serving Lord Francisco, maybe some other time.
  • Treasure: Oh, Ricardo was a thief for many years and has all kinds of treasure hidden about I'm sure.
  • Hidden: I recall a story where he had some treasure hidden in some warehouse on the Britain wharf.
  • Warehouse: Ho, ho! Thinking of doing some hunting? Well good luck to you, he's totally mad you know!

Warehouse

As Avery suggested, you will find Ricardo's Diary and a Weathered Old Chest inside the warehouse in Britain at 10°11' S 16°56' E. Reading Ricardo's Diary:

This be the beginning of me great research.
I, Ricardo, master thief, am going to discover the legend of Lord British's Vault. I will be hiding me research where only I, Ricardo, can find it by using me ancient magic lamp.
Me lamp 'tis better than any map, for a map can be decoded. No one alive but me, Ricardo, knows the secret of how this lamp works.
I have hidden me research near me favorite locations in Sosaria, but even me closest friends could not find it without the secret of me lamp.
Thus, if'n I would tell a body that part of me research be near the Terathan Keep, it would not help them a wit less they have me lamp to discover exactly where 'tis.
I never keep me books and me lamp in the same place for security purposes.
I have also discovered a way to enchant me research books so that they can only be read using me lamp.
Finally, as an added security, me books can only be lifted by me.
Ya larn a few things over the years about security when ye are a master thief


Trying to open the Weathered Old Chest will put the Lantern.png Ricardo's Ancient Lamp to your backpack. Return to Avery and ask about tha lamp:

  • Lamp: He never mentioned it specifically. You might ask Ricardo about it, he's in Yew prison.


If you visit Ricardo in Yew Prison, you'll see him talking with himself:

Oh, my sacred lamp. It is the light of my spirit!
Protecting the secret. Oh, so much responsibility! Must dig, must mine!
I love to fish
I love fishin. I used to hang around the dock of Britain, angler by day, angle worker by night.
The warehouse is my favorite place
Oh, you must not forget to visit Lt Dan and Lt Crag!


Day 1 - Volume 1

Go to the Terathan Keep as suggested in Ricardo's Diary and search for one of the volumes of Ricardo's books about his research around. The book is just south of the Terathan Keep, on the ground of Haunted Ruins, at 10°27' S 38°23' W in Lost Lands. Ricardo's Ancient Lamp's hue will change to green when you're near the location and the book will become visible:

Ricardo's book seems important. I bet this information is worth something to someone.

Reading the book:

Me research, Volume 1 by Ricardo

This be me research regardin the combination to open Lord British's fabled Vault.
Me research has been sailing against the wind so far, but I believe the vault be requiring words o' power.
I record the first word here, it be An.


Reward

Returning this information to Lt. Dan in Castle British will make your karma increase while returning to Lt Crag ( who is in service of Minax ) in Felucca Cove will make karma decrease. Both officers will say the same thing: You did the right thing to bring this to my attention. Please take a bag from my chest as a reward.

The bag contains one of the following:
