This information has been assembled from several different sources.
With the apparent demise of EQClerics, I've transplanted this quest
to the Defenders of Aleria website for use by our members. Some of

information becomes available. Quest Abstract:
Outline
Step One:
Obtain the Orb of Frozen Water Kill Lord
Bergurgle, then turn in his "Lord Bergurgle's Crown" to
Shmendrik Lavawalker. Natasha Whitewater will attack him immediately
after spawning. When he dies, kill the resulting "spirit of
flame" spawn. Loot the "Damaged Goblin Crown" and
give it to Natasha Whitewater, for which you receive "Ornate
Sea Shell (I)" She despawns after receiving "Damaged
Goblin Crown". Turn in "Ornate Sea Shell (I)" to Omat
Vastsea and receive "Coral Statue of Tarew" in return.
Give "Coral Statue of Tarew" to a certain
"seeker" and kill the resulting "Plasmatic
Priest" spawn, looting a "Blood Soaked Plasmatic Priest
Robe". Kill Lord Gimblox and loot "Lord Gimblox's Signet
Ring". Turn in the "Blood Soaked Plasmatic Priest
Robe" to Omat Vastsea, receiving "Orb of Frozen
Water", and Natasha Whitewater will spawn.

Spoken Text: (when
hailed) Shmendrik Lavawalker says 'Hail, good [your name] !! Be wary
near the waters of Lake Rathe! The Riptide goblin king, Lord
Bergurgle has been commanding his minions to murder and rob all who
come near it! I am here seeking his death but I am afraid I am no
match for all of his subjects. I shall reward you greatly for the
death of Lord Bergurgle. I simply ask that you bring me his crown as
proof. (when attacked)
Shmendrik Lavawalker says 'I shall sear the flesh from your bones
and your soul shall be carried to oblivion by my flames! (when given
"Lord Bergurgle's Crown") Shmendrik Lavawalker shoves the
crown into a scorch marked leather satchel and cackles
uncontrollably as madness twists his features and flames dance in
his eyes. You [your name] have reduced the Riptides into chaos!
Without a king to keep them in control they will ravage the
settlements surrounding this lake! After the slaughter I shall
return and easily burn the remainder of the villages and fishing
shanties to the ground! None shall escape the fires of the Tyrant!!

Goblin Crown Tactics:
Natasha Whitewater will attack the Spirit of Flame, which may in
some cases cause its corpse to disappear. It may be possible to keep
her out of the fight using root, mesmerize, atone, or something
similar, but the safest way to do the quest is to kill Shmendrik
Lavawalker and the Spirit of Flame once to get the Damaged Goblin
Crown, then wait for a second Shmendrik spawn to turn in Bergurgle's
crown and complete this part of the quest.

Spoken Text: (when
spawned) Natasha Whitewater shouts, 'The Triumvirate of Water has
decreed your fate, Shmendrik Lavawalker!! I am here to deliver said
fate!!' Shmendrik
Lavawalker says, 'I'll slay you like I slaughtered your fellow
missionaries! The Triumvirate can not decide the fate of a follower
of the Tyrant!! Natasha
Whitewater says, 'Enough!! Your existence has come to an end! Natasha
Whitewater says 'This conflict has been destined by the waters of
the Triumvirate! (when hailed)
Natasha Whitewater says 'The Riptide goblins must have their crown
returned to them. If you would be so kind as to give me the crown I
will make sure that it reaches them. Hopefully they are capable
enough to repair the damage that has been done to it.' (when given the
crown) Natasha Whitewater says 'I will have this crown returned to
the Riptide Goblins immediately! Should you ever come across an
Erudite named Omat Vastsea, give him this sea shell. The waters of
Norrath shimmer with awareness of your deeds here today!
Location: Timourous

Spoken Text:
(when hailed) Omat Vastsea bows deeply. 'I have been expecting you,
[your name] . The waters have foretold your arrival. I am High
Priest Omat Vastsea of the Triumvirate missionaries. Please feel
free to enjoy the quiet solitude of this inn.' You say, 'who
are the triumvirate' Omat Vastsea
says 'The Triumvirate of Water are: E'ci, the mistress of ice; Tarew
Marr, the lord of water; and Povar, the formless master of vapor and
mist. We Triumvirate missionaries are granted great divinatory
powers and wisdom through our devotion to the Triumvirate and must
defend the waters of Norrath from the ravages of the Tyrant of Fire,
Fennin Ro. You say, 'who is
fennin ro' Omat Vastsea
says 'The Tyrant of Fire, Fennin Ro, is the merciless lord of fire
in all its forms. The rivalry between the tyrant and the Triumvirate
is as old as the gods themselves and is an eternal battle. We
witness the struggle every moment of our lives as the Oasis of Marr
succumbs to the heat of the surrounding desert and is replenished by
the swelling of the Lifire River. That fragile balance between the
elements must be maintained but the Plasmatic Priesthood threatens
that balance. You say, 'who
are the plasmatic priesthood' Omat Vastsea
says 'The Plasmatic Priesthood are worshipers of the Tyrant of Fire,
but they have been driven mad by their fanaticism and have forgotten
the importance of the balance. In their madness they would set the
whole world aflame, leaving nothing but lifeless ash. (after turning
in the shell) Omat Vastsea says 'So, you are a friend of Natasha's?
That is good to see. She is a very wise and gifted woman. The
Riptide goblins have adopted a new king but are still in a
vulnerable state until his subjects accept his rule. The Plasmatic
Priesthood is aware of the weakened state of the Riptides and has
convinced the Fire Peak goblins to strike against them. Although I
do not agree with the mannerisms or actions of any goblin clan, such
a war would be detrimental to all who are caught in its path. Lord
Gimblox of the Fire Peak clan has been meeting with a member of the
Plasmatic Priesthood in the Temple of Solusek Ro. Locate the
Plasmatic Priest, hand him this statue to hinder his powers, then
eliminate him and bring me his robe. (after turning
in the "Blood Soaked Plasmatic Priest Robe") "You
have proven yourself to be one who is willing to take responsibility
for his own actions. Such a trait is desired by all deities to be
present in their faithful. I pray that you had the wisdom to slay
Lord Gimblox as well as the Plasmatic Priest in order to prevent
further advancement in the incursion against the Riptides. Priestess
Natasha awaits inside the inn for Lord Gimblox's ring, make haste
for she is a busy women and will depart soon" NPC: "A
Seeker"/Plasmatic Priest

Heal, Tremor, Annul Magic, Reckoning Accepts Item:
"Coral Statue of Tarew", changes into "Plasmatic
Priest" and attacks immediately. Drops:
Blood Soaked Plasmatic Priest Robe, Darkwood Staff
Spoken Text:
You say, 'what solusek ro' a seeker says 'Solusek
Ro is the Master of Fire and the Keeper of Power. You say, 'what
plasmatic priest' a seeker says
'You speak of things that should not be spoken! It would be in your
best interest to leave this temple at once and return to lands less
consumed by flame! (when given
"Coral Statue of Tarew") A seeker shakes violently as his
hand closes on the coral statue and flames dance in the depths of
his eyes! The statue begins to emit a reddish glow then shatters in
a burst of fire and smoke! The flames in the plasmatic priest's eyes
vanish with the explosion and only madness remains! 'The Triumvirate
thinks that destroying my spirit of flame will stop me?!! I will
kill you all now, the goblins will continue to war, and when my
spirit is restored I will ensure that Ixiblat Fer consumes all of
Norrath in his flames!!' Tactics: AE
Tremor spell can aggro surrounding temple mobs on him. If they get
the kill, you lose the corpse and have to start over. Pulling him to
the zone after turning in the statue is one way to avoid this
result. He summons, so be sure not to damage him until you reach the
zone. If you jump down from the upper level on the way to the zone,
he has been observed to teleport directly to your group. Another
potential way to manage the situation is to use Atone or another
memory wipe spell to clear aggro on the mobs. Appears to be
impervious to stun.

(II)". Turn in the "Ornate Sea Shell (II)" to Naxot
Deepwater, receive "Message to Natasha" and kill Ixiblat
Fer, looting "Sceptre of Ixiblat Fer". Kill Overking
Bathezid Di'Zok, looting "Singed Scroll". Turn in "Sceptre
of Ixiblat Fer" and "Singed Scroll" to Omat Vastsea,
receiving "Orb of Clear Water" and causing Natasha
Whitewater to spawn.
Location:
Timorous Deep, near Omat Vastsea. Spawn Timer:

"Lord Gimblox's Signet Ring", results in "Ornate Sea
Shell (II)" (actual item name is "Ornate Sea Shell",

"Ornate Sea Shell (II)")
Spoken Text:
(after turning in "Lord Gimblox's Signet Ring")
"Thank you, [your name] , for your services thus far. The
Triumvirate missionaries are, so far, impressed. However, there is
yet another threat rising from the Plasmatic Priesthood that may
have dire effects on all of Norrath if it is not stopped. An Iksar
member of the Triumvirate missionaries has discovered that the
Plasmatic Priesthood has somehow convinced the sarnak summoners of
Chardok to assit them in summoning Ixilblat Fer to Norrath. Take
this shell to Naxton Deepwater in the Burning Woods so that she
knows I have sent you. We ask that you return with the Sceptre of
Ixiblat Fer as well as evidence to show that the Plasmatic
Priesthood is dealing with sarnaks. High Priest Omat will await your
return. I Must depart now. I pray for your success."
Location:
Burning Woods, approx. loc (3400, -2150). Spawn Timer:
Spawns at 6pm, despawns at 6am. Accepts Item:
"Ornate Sea Shell (II)", spawns Ixiblat Fer and returns
"Message to Natasha", an unreadable note. She will charge
Ixiblat Fer and suicide if you do not keep her from doing so. If she
is still alive after Ixiblat Fer dies, you can respawn it right away
if you have another person waiting with an "Ornate Sea Shell
(II)". Drops:
Triumvirate Missionary Robe (this item is now NORENT as well)
Spoken Text: (when
hailed) "Beware these woods! The sarnak claim this land as
their own and wicked creatures walk beneath the burning
foliage." (after turning
in "Ornate Sea Shell (II)") "Praise the Triumvirate!
Natasha sent you just in time! Those twisted sarnak summoners are
summoning Ixiblat Fer as we speak! We must stop Ixiblat Fer while he
is still weak or all of Norrath may be set aflame! Please do me one
more favor, should I perish to this beast of fire. Give this note to
Natasha when you next see her, and if you should perish and I
survive, I will make sure the waters never forget your reflections
of your deeds this day."

Godly
(Max 575) Spells Cast:
AE Fire (300 pt dd, same as Noble Djorn/Overseer of Air, resistible) Drops: (always)
Sceptre of Ixiblat Fer (plus one of) Circlet of Fire, Mantle of
Fire, Gloves of Fire, Belt of Fire, Cloak of Flames
Tactics: This
is a high level (52+), multi-group (24-30 person) encounter. Most
people pull him to the Skyfire zone before fighting, and report that
he follows pullers reliably without aggroing additional mobs. His
magic resistance is reportedly average to below average for his
level, and he is NOT immune to fire-based spells. Mage fire pets
will be immune to his AE fire proc, however. He will attempt to flee
when low on health, and he apparently has a high regen rate which
will take effect near the end of the fight if he is not finished
quickly. Slowing/debuffing him is highly recommended. Charmed wurms
do good damage as well.
Location:
Chardok, but use this map
for the correct
spawn locations. Spawn Timer:
2 hours, no known placeholder Level:
63+ Melee Damage:
Uber
(approx. max 385) Spells Cast:
Fiery Death (AE, approx 500 hp dmg, cancels 1 buff), Complete Heal,
Gravity Flux, Gate Drops:
Singed Scroll which reads, "Greetings Overking Bathezid. The
time has come for you to return the boon owed to me from so long
ago. I have need of your most powerful summoners to bring Ixiblat
Fer into the mortal realm and rain fire upon my enemies. Your old
friend, Zordak Ragefire", other drops include Argent Defender
(33/49 2h slash), Incarnadine Breastplate, Vibrating
Gauntlets/Hammer of Infuse
Tactics: This is
a high level (55+), multi-group (24-30+ person) encounter. The best
location for the fight is a matter of opinion. If you fight in his
room, you must be careful not to aggro the queen, plus Gravity Flux
may aggro mobs in above rooms (Herbalist room) if they are not kept
clear. If you fight in the hallway, he may gate (cannot be
interrupted) and begin summoning people to their deaths. Another
successful tactic involved clearing up to the Herbalist room and
fighting the Overking there. He has approx. 6 guards (avg. level may
be ~54) with him. Draining his mana will prevent use of Complete
Heal and Gate late in the fight. Location:
As above Accepts Item:
"Sceptre of Ixiblat Fer " and "Singed Scroll",
results in "Orb of Clear Water".
Spoken Text:
(when given "Sceptre of Ixiblat Fer " and "Singed
Scroll") I commend you on your success over the fire elemental
lord, Ixiblat Fer. The fact that the Plasmatic Priesthood has
mustered up the power to summon such a being means drastic actions
must be taken to stop the fanatic cult of Fennin Ro. I wonder what
kind of favor Zordak Ragefire performed for the sarnak summoners to
convince them to assist in the ritual that brought forth Ixiblat Fer.
The dragon Iksar hybrid abominations are not beings who ally with
others easily. All I have seen in my divinations of the High
Plasmatic Priest are riddles, and signs that the one who slays him
may be awarded an Orb of the Triumvirate. If you are the one whom my
visions foretell, then seek Zordak Ragefire and bring me his heart. Step Three:
Obtain the Orb of Vapor Immediately
after completing the previous step, give "Message to
Natasha" to Natasha Whitewater to receive "Shimmering
Pearl". Turn in the "Shimmering Pearl" to Zordak
Ragefire. He will transform from a level 60 vendor to a level 55 NPC
and attack you. When he is killed, Zordakalicus Ragefire, a named
fire dragon, will spawn on the spot. Kill him and loot the
"Heart of Zordak Ragefire". Turn in the "Heart of
Zordak Ragefire" to Omat Vastsea, receiving the "Orb of
Vapor" and causing Jhassad Oceanson to spawn. Location:
As above Spawn Timer:
Spawned when "Blood Soaked Plasmatic Priest Robe" is given
to Omat Vastsea. Accepts Item:
"Message to Natasha", results in "Shimmering
Pearl" Spoken Text:
(when given "Message to Natasha") Natasha Whitewater
lowers her head in mourning and whispers a prayer. It is a shame
that fate has decided one so young and from such a background should
perish, but we must not attempt to change what was destined to be.
Priestess Naxot sacrificed herself selflessly so that others may be
spared the horrors Ixiblat would have brought to Norrath. May the
waters of Norrath forever remember her reflection. I thank you for
delivering Naxot's message to me and give you this pearl imbued with
the power of the Triumvirate. Should you find Zordak Ragefire, speak
with him before all else and hand him this pearl. No mortal enemy of
the Triumvirate can resist its enchantments. NPC: Zordak
Ragefire/Zordakalicus Ragefire
Location: Solusek
B in back of Nagafen's lair. Spawn Timer: Uncertain.
Kel posted an approximation for his spawn formula which may or may
not be accurate: "At zone boot-up, do the following- spawn
Nagafen, spawn Magus Rokyl, do not spawn Ragefire, set
Ragefire-respawn to false. When Magus Rokyl dies, do the following-
set Magus Rokyl respawn timer at four game-days, if Nagafen is not
up and Ragefire-respawn = false then spawn Ragefire and set
Ragefire-respawn to true. When Ragefire dies, do the following- set
timer at 16 game-days, if Nagafen is not up at respawn time, then
spawn Ragefire, otherwise do not respawn Ragefire and set
Ragefire-respawn to false." Alternately, Aarich speculated
"that his spawn is 0-65 hours (72 is the max I bet as one of
the developers posted they can delay pops for up to 3 days) after
nag dies. Then after you kill him it is 23-24 hours." Level:
60 (initial spawn), 55 (after receiving "Shimmering
Pearl"), 54 (dragon form) Drops:
Initially, he is a vendor that sells Imbue Fire Opal (Solusek Ro
deity-specific spell) and Oil of Fennin Ro (~1700pp). In dragon
form, always drops "Heart of Zordak Ragefire", plus one or
more pieces of "Blazing" armor and Nagafen loot table
items, including red dragon scales. Known "Blazing" items
include Blazing Greaves of Fennin Ro, Blazing Vambraces, and a
breastplate (AC 20, +5 WIS, +5 INT, +8 CHA, +20 SV FIRE, plate
classes/all races but Iksar, effect: Sunbeam).
Spoken Text: (when
hailed) Zordak Ragefire stares at <your name> with unblinking
eyes. A wide grin crosses Zordak's face and flames flicker in the
depths of his eyes. 'Welcome to the new fortress of the Plasmatic
Priesthood! It's a shame about Lord Nagafen's untimely death, really
it is! Such a powerful and noble creature should not perish at the
hands of mortals.' (when given
"Shimmering Pearl") Zordak Ragefire laughs maniacally as
he crushes the pearl in his hands with inhuman strength. 'The
Triumvirate missionaries think their petty magic can affect me!! I
will send your heads to Omat as a symbol of what is to come for all
of his missionaries!' Tactics:
After being given the pearl, Zordak Ragefire will attack you. When
he is killed, his true (dragon) form, Zordakalicus Ragefire, will
spawn on the spot where he dies. Zordakilicus Ragefire is a clone of
Lord Nagafen, but will not banish level 53+ characters. Normal
Nagafen tactics apply, except that he runs at the end of the fight,
as in the above picture, and may hit somewhat harder than Nagafen. Location:
As above Accepts Item:
"Heart of Zordak Ragefire", results in "Orb of
Vapor" and Jhassad Oceanson spawns.
Spoken Text:
(when given "Heart of Zordak Ragefire") Omat Vastsea says
'I see now that Zordak Ragefire and the exiled elder dragon
Zordakalicus were the same being. That explains how he resisted our
attempts to divine his affairs and past. Each of these orbs I have
granted you represents one of the Triumvirate. Jhassad Oceanson
awaits on the shore below to perform the ritual that will merge the
orbs into a single Orb of the Triumvirate and summon an avatar from
the Plane of Water. Present the Orb of the Triumvirate to the Avatar
of Water when it arrives and allow your destiny to be unraveled. Step Four:
Obtain the Orb of the Triumvirate Immediately
after completing the previous step, turn in the "Orb of Frozen
Water", "Orb of Clear Water", and "Orb of
Vapor" to Jhassad Oceanson, receiving the "Orb of the
Triumvirate" and resulting in "Avatar of Water"
spawn.
Location:
Timorous Deep, near Omat Vastsea Spawn Timer:
Spawned when "Heart of Zordak Ragefire" is given to Omat
Vastsea. Accepts Item:
"Orb of Frozen Water", "Orb of Clear Water", and
"Orb of Vapor", results in "Orb of the
Triumvirate".
Spoken Text:
(when given "Orb of Frozen Water", "Orb of Clear
Water", and "Orb of Vapor") Jhassad Oceanson kneels
in the sand and places the three orbs into a large abalone shell
bowl. A blue glow surrounds his hands as he waves them over the orbs
resting in the bowl. The orbs crack and fall apart, releasing their
contents, then reform into a single glowing orb. Jhassad Oceanson
gently removes the Orb of the Triumvirate and places it in [your
name]'s hands. 'The Avatar of Water approaches. You must hand him
the Orb of the Triumvirate and it will be decided if it is your
destiny to wield the Nem Ankh Sprinkler. Step Five:
Obtain the Water Sprinkler of Nem Ankh Immediately
after completing the previous step, turn in the "Orb of the
Triumvirate" to the Avatar of Water, receiving "Water
Sprinkler of Nem Ankh".
Location:
Timorous Deep, near Jhassad Oceanson Accepts Item:
"Orb of the Triumvirate", returns "Water Sprinkler of
Nem Ankh" Tactics:
The Avatar of Water spawns, roams along the shore, then returns to
stand by Jhassad Oceanson. You may turn in the Orb at any point in
the Avatar's pathing, but you will not receive experience unless you
turn it in once it has stopped.
