Master Xydoz, Cabilis

"What is it you seek within the tower ? Could it be that you are a new apprentice ? If so, you are required to don the [apprentice skullcap]"

"All new members of the Brood of Kotiz are required to don the [apprentice skullcap]. To earn one, a new apprentice is required to fetch four brains for further experiments. Not just any four brains, mind you, but the brains of [sarnak] hatchlings."

"Sarnak ? Do not speak loudly, that name. If you seek information on the sarnak, read the tome of this tower. The tower librarian should be found within."

"Looking for the second rank skullcap ? Look no further, but be prepared to earn it. I seek a [faded tapestry]. Now, too, so do you."

"I have heard reports of such a thing found upon Sarnak hatchlings. They must have scampered from the safety of their dwelling with their master's property. I would like to see this tapestry, but only when it has been mended. I need find a necromancer who is [adept at tailoring]."

"If you are a member of the Brood and wish to assist you may seek out this tapestry. Find the Torn and Ripped pieces and take them both to a sewing kit. Return with the mended tapestry and your first rank skullcap and I shall see that you are rewarded with coin and a second rank skullcap"

"Good work, my young apprentice. You will make a fine addition to our ranks. Here is your first apprentice skullcap. Wear it as a sign of our circle. Do not lose it. Someday you shall wear a necromancer skullcap, but next shall come the [second rank skullcap]."

"A job well done, apprentice. Your fine service shall earn you the second circle apprentice skullcap. I would advise you to forget this tapestry, it is nothing more than an ancient rug of no importance."

"WHAT?! What is this tra… He stares down at the paper, mouth hanging open wide in disbelief. He finally continues, saying, Very well, then. If you wish to know confidence I have a task for you. Our hated enemies, the sarnak, have a tome we have sought to return to our libraries for centuries. At this point, we believe it to be found in a small fortress they maintain near the Great Lake. One of their scholars will most likely have it on their person. Bring it to me along with two star rubies."

"Well done"

"I do not want this."
