Start Location: Simlan (19.4N, 7.5E) between Molwirth and Rithwic in the dried up Lake Artefon basin

Walkthrough:

Simlan tells you,
"Quickly, friend. When I heard the waters of the lake were draining, I crept down here to the emerging ruins of Aretfon in hopes of discovering the entrance to the fabeled necropolis housing the tombs of the kings of old. However, our ancient enemies have proven too quick. While our backs were turned, they seized the ancient ruins and the treasures laying beneath them. I'm safely barricaded here, but I still must know whether the tombs of our Kings lie sacrosanct... find them and report their condition to me, and I will reward you with the recipe to create the Armor of the Ancient Kings."

Find all 6 Tombs inside the Catacombs of Artefon(13.8N, 9.5E) on a small island in the Artefon basin, Located south of Simlan.

Find the Tomb of Kresovus Find the Tomb of Aulatah Find the Tomb of Borelean Find the Tomb of Kei Find the Tomb of Thorsten Find the Tomb of Elysa

Once you have found all 6 tombs return to Simlan (19.4N, 7.5E) to tell him the state of the tombs.

Simlan tells you,
"Search for the correct materials and craft a set of the Armor of the Ancient Kings for yourself. Sontar Trisoya has discoverd the lost Emerald Mines of Ulkas in the mountatins between the Nepth Strata and the Stoeneshadow Plain. The Gurog of Linvak Massif still hoard their stores of Ebon Pyreal. Orlen Jarlns has found Shoyanen's lost method of imbuing emeralds near her old tower."

Now you will need to obtain 19 Ebon Pyreals and 13 Emeralds. To obtain Ebon Pyreals these can be found on Gurogs and will spawn on the ground around the Malthabbor Ringway, west of Gurukora, the Thusik region, and around the Stoneshadow Central Outpost.

 For Emeralds you will need to head south of Ondekodo to the Emerald Mines(24.2S, 31.8W) drop down the ravine to get to the entrance. Hand Sontar Risoya an Ebon Pyreal to enter the mines. Remember you need 13 Emeralds which is all you will be allowed to mine anyway from the quest Sontar Risoya gives you. In most cases you may need a group to help clear the mine in this case you will need a Ebon Pyreal for each of those members to enter the Mine or they will bring their own.

A note: If you open your Skills window, Crafting tab, scroll down to Quest Recipes you will see a section called Mines of Ulkas, inside you once you have given the pyreal, Click the Mine Emerald recipe. Select the mine and use the recipe to do the mining for you. This will allow multiple fellowship members to mine at the same time. Mining by just clicking on the mine will prevent you from mining if someone else is already in the process of doing so

	Ebon Pyreal	1 to enter mine, 18 needed to make the armor, + one for each person to help in the mines not doing the quest
	Emerald	13 needed to make the armor.

You will need a Shadow Totem and Aconite for the next part of the quest, Shadow Totems are found from random drops or you can possibly find one in the Curiosities Shop in Cragstone or other major city. Aconite can be found in the Kydi Delta Region on the ground or purchased from a Curiosities Shop in one of the major cities.

	Shadow Totem	1 needed to give to Orlen Jarlns for Shoyanen's Solution Quest
	Aconite	You will need a minimum of 5 maximum of 7 of these plants for the Shoyanen's Solution Quest,

Once you have the Emeralds and the Shadow Totem you will need to make your way to Mayoi. Once you are in Mayoi travel southeast to Orlen Jarlns (5.7S 49.2E).

Orlen Jarln tells you,
"Greetings stranger. My former research led me here to the famed tower of Shoyanen Kenchu. Through my excavation near this tower I discovered her lost recipes for the infusions which allowed Master Smith Ulkas to imbue the gems of his Armor of the Ancients with magic beyond compare. As my scholarly focus includes many subjects, I also believe the objects within the Hoard of Chaos deserve further research. I am now willing to make an exchange - bring me a Shadow Totem, and I will give you my Alembic, instruct you in its use, and show you how to imbue the jewles from the Ulkas mines with power."

You will need to hand him a Shadow Totem key to start the Shoyanen's Solutions quest.

Orlen Jarln tells you,
"Thank you! There has been a small amount of geothermal activity in the lesser isles of western Ariaki, eastern Lumari, and the Mist Curl Vale of Oriad. Fill up this Alembic with Mineral Water from one of the Geysers that have sprung up in each of these areas. Combine the Aconite flowers that grow here in the Kydi Delta and the Ariaki River Delta with this Mineral Water into an infusion and give it to me for inspection. I will then show you how to imbue jewels from the Ulkas mines with magic. Keep in mind that the water flowing from each of these regions is subtly different, and when combined with Aconite will yeild a different type of infusion."

Orlen Jarln gives you a Glass Alembic which will be used to collect the waters for the solution

Glass Alembic

Travel to the Mist Curl Geyser(23.7S, 1.7E) southeast of Whitebay to get the Waters of Mist Curl Vale. Hand the Alembic in your inventory to the Mist Curl Geyser to get Waters of Mist Curl Vale.

Waters of Mist Curl Vale

Use the quest recipe to create a Decoction of Aconite. You can find the recipe in your Skills window, Craft tab, Quest Recipes. You will need to repeat this process until you have 14 Suspension of Aconite.

Decoction of Aconite

14 Suspension of Aconite are needed(13 for the emeralds, and 1 to complete the Shoyanen's Solution quest).

Once you have all 14 return to Orlen Jarlns(5.7S 49.2E) southeast of Mayoi. Hand him one Decoction of Aconite to complete the Shoyanen's Solution quest. He will then give you the recipe needed to imbue the Emeralds. Each Emerald will need to be imbued with one Decoction of Aconite. You can find the recipe in your Skills window, Craft tab, Quest Recipes. Use the recipe to create 13 Imbued Emeralds

Orlen Jarlns tells you,
"Good job! I shall reserve this infusion for my future research, but take this recipe. I hear the fabled emerald mines of Ulkas have been discovered by a man named Sontar Risoya in the ravine south of Ondekodo. This recipe will help you imbue the emeralds from these mines with magical properties that have been lost to the world until now. Good luck in your travels, adventurer."

Imbued Emerald

You will now be able to create your armor with the combination of the 13 Imbued Emeralds and the 18 Ebon Pyreals by using the recipes given to you. You can find the recipe in your Skills window, Craft tab, Quest Recipes. Once you have created all five pieces the quest will complete and you will recive your experience and quest points.
