Test of the Lord

I am Martankus from Hestui tribe! I have been dead for a thousand years and though my body has gone, my spirit remains to watch over my descendents.

Tell me, Shaman of Flame, why do you seek me?

I can tell by the grizzly tooth necklace that you wear that Kakai has sent you. So, you wish to take the Test of the Lord! You must learn of your ancestors' history first! Now, listen closely to what I say!

A long time ago, Paagrio the Lord of Flame created the First Orc. The First Orc was made of flame and hot lava, and came to this land to control the chaos. He came first to this place where you stand, known now as the Cave of Trials

The First Orc, born of Paagrio's flame, was a very powerful being.

The gods of wind, earth and water were jealous of his power and sought to kill him.

Eventually they were successful, but not before the mighty Orc Village created, with his last dying breath, the originators of the 7 tribes.

I was among them, the originator of the Hestui tribe ...

We originators of the 7 tribes followed the teachings of the

What, you really didn't know about the Atuba tribe's totem? The heartless Atuba tribe's totem is the pointed fang! The ingredient to make this totem is the enemy Orc Village's fang!

Now you go to southern part of the land, kill the low level Orcs who lost their consciousness and dignity and get their fangs! We sent Seer Manakia to Giran Castle Town, go to him and show him this amulet. He will tell you in detail about the Orcs that you have to face!

I, Sumari, am a blacksmith of the proud Orcs. Did Urutu Chief Hatos send you here? To collect the Urutu blade? The blade ordered by Hatos is very important! A holy object to use in the Urutu tribe's ritual! I had to send it to someone else to work on the blade because it was impossible for me to do. I gave it to Seer Somak so he could put the blessings of ancestors in the blade.

You are in middle of the Trial of the Lord, right? It would be better for you to get the blade and give it Hatos personally. Take this letter and find Seer Somak in Dion Castle Town

Don't you know anything about the Duda-Mara tribe's totem? Our totem is the giant spider! Spinning a web and staying completely still with icy patience until the enemy falls into the trap. And once they do, we finish them off with stealth as only a predator can! This is the way our tribe fights!

If you want to understand the meaning of our totem, gather the materials to make the totem! You'll need feelers and legs of spiders, but not just any spider! They must be strong and fierce spiders! I heard there are marsh spiders in the Cruma Marshlands. Collect 10 feelers and legs of those spiders and bring them to me!

Why are you back? 10 feelers and legs are required to create the Duda-Mara totem! Giant marsh spiders lurk in the Cruma Marshlands within the lands of

Tejakar Oroka! You've done a fine job! Spinning a web with intelligence, patience, and boldness reveals your warrior spirit of the spider!

I shall give you this 'crafted spider brooch' as a symbol of your intelligence, akin to the spider's. Take it to Paagrio Lord Kakai and you will be admitted!

I am the first and the last Orc Village, the sole receiver of Paagrio's energy, the patriarch of all Orcs! Though my physical form is gone and my soul hangs on by a thread, I linger to look after my proud Orc Village descendants!

In the beginning, Paagrio created me from the essence of fire. My body was forged in the eternal flame, and my power would destroy mountains! My powers rivaled the gods'! When Paagrio ordered me to earth, I was set upon and killed by the jealous gods.

They were obviously jealous of the fact that that I, the First Orc, was much stronger than their puny creations. When Paagrio ordered me here, they schemed to use the abundant water of this earth to extinguish my inner fire, to harden the lava that flows in my veins.

With my last dying breath I gave birth to the fathers of the 7 tribes, in whom I imbued my powers of honor and flame. They also received my secrets of strength through endless training. This same character is within you. Never ignore the spiritual flame that burns within...

The 7 tribes are Hestui, Ragna, Atuba, Neruga, Urutu, Duda-Mara, and Gandi! The Ragna tribe betrayed our race and turned away from my teachings! Their impertinence still galls me. My soul cannot rest!

I heard of your punishment of the Ragna tribe betrayers on my behalf! You have partially assuaged my rage, and now you shall have your reward!

May you become a great leader! Tejakar Oroka!

Do you truly not know anything about the Gandi tribe totem? Our tribal totem is a line that connects two circles! The two circles represents life and death and are interconnected, forming a larger circle! The warriors of the Gandi tribe, who fight to the death in order to feel more alive, know well the meaning of the circles!

The line connecting the circles is represented by a monster eye and you'll understand why once you've seen a monster eye.

Young Shaman, you will need the cornea of a monster eye in order to create the Gandi totem! They say that a peculiar breed of monster eye roams near the Ivory Tower of Town of Oren. Apparently these monster eyes have been strengthened by some strange spell cast by a Mystic in the Ivory Tower. Hunt those monster eyes and bring me twenty cornea!

You have brought back all of the monster eye cornea! Well done, young Shaman! I trust you understand now the significance of the line that connects the two circles. Now I, Gandi Chief Chianta, will give you a monster eye wood carving, the symbol of our tribe. This totem signifies that you have received the acknowledgement of the Gandi tribe Chief. Take this to Paagrio Lord Kakai!

You, warrior of our race... I shall tell you of the Overlord, the high level Shaman of our race, so listen carefully! They are those born with the fate of ruling over others! Should they become lords that lead a clan, the members of that clan shall all display remarkable power!

Traditionally, we Orcs have chosen the chief of a tribe from among the Overlords. In order to become an Overlord, a Shaman must pass the severe Trial of the Lord. I endured this trial as a youngster in order to become the Overlord of the Hestui! The lord or chief that you will be serving in the future will also have passed this trial, so treat them with the reverence and honor that they deserve!

(Quest for Orc Village Shamans, level 39 and above.)

Have you been around to visit the Orc Village chiefs of the six great tribes yet? Listen carefully!

The greatest of the tribes is Hestui, the tribe that I, Kakai, lead! You must seek out the chiefs of the Atuba, Neruga, Urutu, Duda-Mara, and Gandi tribes!

The chiefs of the Atuba, Neruga, and Urutu tribe currently reside here, in the Hall of the King!

Look for the Duda-Mara Chief in the

Visit the remaining five tribe chiefs, and receive their acknowledgement of your capacity to become a lord! As a mark of their acknowledgement, bring back the totems of each tribe!

Bring back all five tribal totems and I, Hestui tribal Chief Kakai, will personally test you to see if you are worthy of becoming a lord!

Giant Orc Village fang! A sword embedded in an Orc Village's skull! The ritual axe! Engraved spider brooch! Monster eye carving! You have received acknowledgement from the Chiefs of the 5 tribes, I see! Yes! You are eligible to take the final test!

I,

Are you sure you know nothing about the Neruga tribe's totem? The totem of the undefeated Nerugas, the people who take pride in our long history, is the 'axe and arrow!' This symbol contains the spirit of the Nerugas who never back off, until we have defeated our enemy!

The materials that are needed for making the totem are the Negura axe blade used in rituals, and one thousand bone arrows! Procure all of these and bring them to me! You can get the axe blade from Trader Jakal

Did you come to see me, Seer Manakia, under the command of Atuba Chief Varkees? I can tell from your necklace that you are taking the Test of the Lord! Then I shall tell you what to do now!

As you know in this land there are plenty of traitor Orcs, those who have forgotten their origin and pride as an Orc Village! You must punish them severely by extracting their fangs and bringing them back to me! Our totem, the upright fang is made by collecting the fangs of the armies we've conquered!

Your task is to rid the land of the Breka Orcs, and bring their fangs as proof of your victory! But don't forget, a soldier's tooth is no good! Bring only the ones of the Shaman or the Seer! Return when you have collected twenty of them!

Tejakar Oroka! You brought the twenty fangs! You have warned those vagrant Breka Orcs with the wrath of our tribe. For your honorable contribution, I shall give you this amulet as a prize. Take it to Atuba Chief Varkees at the Orc Village!

Young Shaman, welcome back! I heard that you valiantly slayed those Orcs around Giran Castle Town! By killing your own race I guess you have learned what the heartless fighting spirit of Atuba's totem means?

Now I will give you the pointed fang totem. This means that I, the Atuba Chief Varkees, have acknowledged your skills!

What did you come here for? Sumari's letter? Did you come to get the Urutu blade?! We finished the ceremony of the blessings of our ancestors two days ago. Here! Take this back with you. Chief Hatos will be most pleased!

Ah, you mean the Neruga axe blade? Yes, 1 000 adena. No need to be surprised. You didn't think that I would give it to you for free, did you? No way! I am a merchant. It's a reasonable price for such precious symbol of the Neruga tribe spirit. If you don't agree, then leave!

Very well! 1 000 adena, exactly! Then here is the axe blade. This is one part of the axe which the Nerugas use in their ceremony. Handle it with care!

Ah, you mean the Neruga axe blade? Yes, 1 000 adena. No need to be surprised. You didn't think that I would give it to you for free, did you? No way! I am a merchant. It's a reasonable price for such a precious symbol of the Neruga tribe spirit. If you don't agree, then leave!

This is not enough money! Who do you think I am? If you ever try to buy something without enough money again, I will throw you out of the shop!

Young one, you have found the materials needed for making the totem of Neruga. I bet you have learned much about the spirit of the Neruga tribe!

Now I, Tantus, the chief of the Neruga tribe shall give you the 'axe of ceremony.' It is proof that the Neruga Chief has acknowledged your abilities! If you bring this to the Paagrio Lord Kakai, he will also approve your abilities!

You really don't know anything about the totem of our Urutu tribe?! The totem of our tribe is a skull with two swords! We use the head of the betrayer Orcs to make this totem! Our totem is a solemn warning for the betrayers who stained our tribe's honor! It is also a sign of strong will that we shall never stop until we have punished every single betrayer!

If you wish to understand the meanings of the Urutu totem, you must bring the 2 materials needed to make it. They are the Blade of Urutu and betrayer Orc Village's Skull! Ask the Blacksmith Sumari about the blade!

However the Skull of the Betrayer, you must find it yourself! Recently, in the northern part of Town of Oren, Orcs of the Timak tribe have been appearing frequently. They are different from the other Orcs. They are very strong. But they are no exception to the fact that we will punish all those betrayers! You'll have to kill the Timak Orcs and gather 10 skullsfrom them. I suppose it will be too hard for you to do such thing all alone, so I'll let you use some help from your friends. But remember! You must chop off the betrayer's head with your own hands!

Is it clear now?! What you should do?! Find the Blade of Urutu! And gather 10 Skulls of the Timak Orcs!

Did you forget already about your duties?! You must find the materials needed for making the Urutu's totem! The materials are the blade of the Urutu sword, and 10 skulls of Timak Orcs, the betrayers! About the blade, you should ask the Blacksmith Sumari! Tejakar Oroka!

Tejakar Urutu! Ten skulls of Timak Orcs, and the blade of the Urutu sword! You have brought everything that I asked for. Yes, I believe that you learned the true meaning that the skull and swords has to us when you were carrying out this test! Don't forget what you have learned! There will come a day when you shall become the leader of many soldiers and realize how important such symbols as totems are!

I, Hatos of the Urutu understood well of your abilities! I feel that you are qualified enough for receiving the Mark of the Monarch! You shall have our totem. When you return with this, the Paagrio Lord will acknowledge you just as I did!

Becoming a Lord of Orcs requires a suitable test. Your test is to calm the soul of the first Orc, who died unfairly by killing the betrayer of the seven tribes!

You should know, there were actually seven preceding tribes before our own. However, after the original seven went into eternal sleep, one tribe betrayed our race and all became chaos. Because of the betrayal, we have forgotten the teachings of the first Orc and wasted thousands of years fighting each other.

The tribe who betrayed the seven tribes is the Ragna! You must find Ragna Orcs and punish them! That is the only way to appease the furious spirit of the first Orc

In this very moment, the Ragna Orcs have come into our tribe's land! How dare those dirty betrayers come onto The Immortal Plateau! This grievous, indignant matter cannot be left unpunished! Destroy every Ragna Orc Village in sight! As proof of your merciless punishment, bring one of their heads! We shall not forgive the ones who tainted our great history!

What is this? It is a notice from the betrayer, the Ragna Chief! They say they will make a Chief of the one who kills the Paagrio Lord! This is an outrage! Betrayer's blood is even in their bones!

You, brave Shaman, you have punished betrayer's tribe as I asked you. Proud of you! I acknowledge your service and hereby give you the Immortal Flame. Give this to Kakai!

Oh! First Orc! He will personally congratulate your bravery! Although it is but a window to his soul, you will be able to speak with him for a while by using my power. What do you think? Would you like to meet the first Orc?

I shall use my powers to conjure the spirit of the First Orc. Behold his power and learn! I know you will make your ancestors proud!!

You have passed the test of the Lord. Now take this Immortal Flame to my descendant, your Lord, Kakai

Good! Now listen to what I say! Do you remember the Cave of Trials, where you went to further your training as an apprentice? Ancestor Martankus lives in that cave. He is a great ancestral spirit that has been watching over our race for thousands of years.

I shall give you the bear fang necklace, the symbol of the Hestui tribe. Take this and go to the ancestral spirit! Pass the ultimate test that he gives you and receive acknowledgement as an Overlord! You shall learn the splendid history and honorable traditions of our Orc Village race. Hurry up and get to work!

From of old, all of the tribal Chiefs and Lords were tested by the ancestral spirits in order to receive acknowledgement of their authority. You also must pass this process! Complete the task that the ancestral spirit Marutankus has set before you, so that your potential of becoming a Lord may be recognized!

Immortal flame! The fire bestowed upon us at the beginning of the world by Paagrio! The spark that lights our temple and town, day and night! Each year, the Shaman that attempts the Trial of the Lord receives this from the ancestral spirits and comes back to create a new blaze on the torches of the temple and town! Now you have earned the right to receive the mark of the lord!

I am proud of you, descendant of the courageous Orc Village race! May you accept the will of the ancestors to become a great ruler that leads the mighty
