Elder Animist Muada says 'Ah, I see you were successful! You become more like one of the elders each day -- elders which may now become known to you. I would like you to become familiar with some of the greater animists of Norrath, so I will have you make some deliveries on my behalf. These elder animists are very busy and you must find them on your own in our lands. Show this letter to the elders as you find them.'
He gives you Letter from Muada

Ok I talked to Elder Animist Dumul and Sadhi in Shar Vhal. They didn't respond or take the letter. Both gave it back. So these two are out...
I think it'd be safe to say that these animists would not be in the starting cities... Would be a horrible timesink for factionwork methinks for evil races to go into good cities and vice versa.
Probably not associated with this part, or even the epic at all. BUt I noticed a odd mob/npc in Noble's Causeway, by the Bazu Smasher, his name was something along the lines of animal lord ______ or something. Anyone have info on him?
There is a beastlord NPC in Western Wastes named Rontar something, check him out.
QuoteThese elder animists are very busy and you must find them on your own in our lands
Perhaps Im being too literal when i read this.. I see this as meaning the home of the Beastlord.. which would be starting cities?
He also mentions Norrath - So Id guess its old world and not OoW, GoD, PoP or even Luclin.
Ive searched high and low and nothing yet..
"I have no need for this item Hayyel, you can have it back."
I was thinking that too Heyyel and i had similar results .
Found a named cat "Kellkoan Rishta" in Tox forest. looked on alla and did not see any match. Was red to my 11 dwarf rogue (big surprise) and did not respond to any hails. Loc N1690, N890.6 (staight south of the nexus spire). May respond to a beast with/out first step done.
Throwing out a logical theory here..
Our quest starter was Muada..
Try looking for
Undalla
Irionu
Rashara and
Mikkily
Ranger would help :)
Why these names?- check our spell list, Muada is an elder of sorts, respected enough to give the quest, perhaps these other names are the other elders.
Rontar in WW is for the Draconic Pauldrons quest. He's KoS to all.
"Kellkoan Rishta" does not accept the letter or respond to me. Good thought tho.
I dont have the grass yet to finish the helm but there is a Scout Chonf in ME next to the AR zone in. Epic 1 had Scouts fer turn ins, maybe he is part of epic 1.5/2.0.
First Elder has been found! Marrey McGrannel in Ocean of Tears at loc neg 1521, pos 1542. didn't get a log of it since i didn't think she was an elder but i do have the text of the conversation...
Marrey McGrannel says. "It is indeed authentic. i suppose i can tell ye that i've been studyin' the way o' the sirens. We as beastlords use the strength of our warders, as well as bestow magic upon them. These sirens use mind tricks! i'm workin' on a [way] to use the magic these fair ocean maidens do to help our kin."
after you say "What way" Marrey McGrannel responds:
Marrey McGrannel says. "I do miss me time with Muada and i suppose i'll get me chance again. I'll have to leave now and go to Muada so that i may learn what i must do for him to end the threat to your ways as beastlords. Be well and ready to open your mind to learn from Muada."
after that she despawned.
PS. She doesn't respond to hails but will say all that when you hand in the letter from Muada.
Did she give the letter or anything else back, or did she keep it? If she gave a letter back and not something different, have you managed to ID it to see if it has changed in any way? :)
She did give the letter back and didn't give me anything extra but i have no clue if the ID changed since i didn't ID it before i did the turn in, will check to see if i can find someone to ID the letter i got back.
Hum, have you tried talking to Muada again since you gave the letter to Marrey McGrannel? Since you didn't gain any info or items I'm betting you got a flag. The tailor in Gunthark won't work until you get the quest from Muada so the quest is already useing some flags and not telling us about them. I suppose the next question is, how many elders do we need to find?
item now ID's as Item Lore: A sealed letter from Elder Animist Muada. hailed Muada and he didn't say anything new but when i handed the letter to him he said "Well, I certainly did write that letter, but i don't believe your task is done." and i got the lvl up sound.
On thursday evening i was working with another bst who had his druid alt running about kunark (was quite hillarious actually as we were both of diffrent servers) and he was exploring looking for new mobs.... Now he's been find alot of new mobs Most of them related to the task system, so I would like to know what the full name of the 1st hand in mob was (i.e. does it have the title in it's name?)
Well anyways back to work! I'll be trying hand in when I get home in 5 hrs...
Oh btw anyone got a guess at respawn timer?
(Any bst on Rz server who needs the pod ground spawn, i have the key on a corpse in pod, waiting to be used. All it will cost you is 1 rez after we get the peice. Curse/Foh/Kos need not bother me.)
this might be a stretch but you don't perhaps think that the 4 items we collected were clues to the elders? found one guy in Ocean of Tears , looted a Wildspirit Tear..... Petrified Fangshrub.. ( someplace near sebilis / emerald jungle and those zones with the fangshrubs? or some place very petrifyed) ....... Roaring Grass.. (someplace wheer you hear roaring all the time..or Karana where the lions are).......... Taut leather swatch..ok so not even sure on teh exact name of this so completly in teh drk about the posible zones :( .
well anyways it's an idea that can be thought about. I like the Karanas idea, and EJ and the otehr Iksar zones seem lik it would likely have an elder there ..just got the hat after grinding in OoW to 68 so way to tired atm will try some of thies ( and bot a ranger) soon.....tho if they are named regularly..i jusee we can just juce the letter to every npc we see :0

As you said in another thread, Irionu is one of em, but the Barb in OoT isn't on this list. Rashara = cat sounding name. Undalla = ogre (?), Mikkily = troll (?) Random guessing there, so we'll have to see how it pans out.
So the Barb in OoT is on the Siren Island?
Someone must have gotten there before me, no sign of her. Waiting for spawn.
She's probably there, but she's very tough to find. She's on a small little out of the way part of the island, way down by the water's edge. Crawl along the entire shoreline of the island to find her.
Just a pattern that ive seen so far is the locations are opposites each other. P3500, N3500, and P1351 and N1351 etc
Two more Elders have been found.
1. Rashara Wrualla -- Jaggedpine Forest, p324, n1592
2. (I forget the name) -- Cazic Thule, p865, n355. In the water.
Just wanted to let everyone else know what NOT to do. I just turned in my letter to the iksar in Overthere and went straight to the Barb in Oceans of Tears. My letter was eaten when I turned it into her. I think you need to head back to Maudin in between turn ins. I'll find out for sure when the GM answers my petition. :roll:
I did turn into barb, then went to iksar. Still have my letter.

i did this and had no problems
So we are on the lookout for the 5th elder, or has anyone tried giving back the letter after the 4 that are currently found?
what 4th?? i only see 2 as found what are the other 2?
Check the first page of this thread. I missed it myself:)
Cazic Thule and Jaggedpine
need a name or a better loc for ct
i noticed that the jaggedpine and Ocean of tears one were both talking about the piemaids..looking for the cazic one now..does he talk about the piemaids too? or some other mind casters?

Quote from: Ogeeneed a name or a better loc for ct
Check the thread I made. Shows how to find the Cazic one.
Quote from: Ukator IcebloodSo we are on the lookout for the 5th elder, or has anyone tried giving back the letter after the 4 that are currently found?
i think there are 5 as well .. we have a barb, a lizzy, a kitty, and the oggor..my guess is the next/last one would be a troll .. thats an elder for each bst race and makes very good since .... could ckeck illithu or any area around there. and probably going to be named Undalla. since that i think is the last elder name from the spells that we have not found.
After getting 4 I went back to Muada, he said task is not completed.
On the lookout for our Troll now.
Troll wearing leather named Drakigone Bruann in Warsilks at -1388, -426, 199.
He's blue to my 65 beast, however I don't have the letter so I could not check him. =/
Just checked Drakigone Bruann in Warslik's and he isn't for the epic, he didn't take the note. Oh well, back to hunting for a troll.
Nope :(
LoY might be a good place to look for a troll.
However if we look at the locations of the previous 4 elders you see there isn't really any obvious patterns or links between race and location:
- Marrey McGrannel [BARBARIAN FEMALE]
Ocean of Tears. Loc: -1521, 1542 (Siren Rocks)
She talks about studying the ways and mind tricks of the sirens to help "our kin" (beastlords).
- Rashara Wrualla [VAH-SHIR FEMALE]
Jaggedpine Forest. Loc: 324, -1592.
She talks briefly about how she is having some trouble studying the pottameids and how she (the elder) is specialist in "advancement and power of warders" and that she possesses some forms of warder we haven't seen before that are highly sought after.
- Ikpug Giblod [OGRE MALE]
Temple of Cazic Thule. Loc: 895, -355 (in the temple water)
- Irionu Bastun [IKSAR ????]
The Overthere. Loc: Approx 3500. -3500
He/she talks about the rhinos and their fierceness and agility and how he/she has used some of the ways of such fierce animals in his/her "conjuress" (magic).
We have a barbarian in the Ocean of Tears (wtf?), a vah shir in jaggedpine (again wtf, but since she talks about being a warder specialist i guess it makes sense to hang around animals), an ogre in CT (which is next to the feerott so kinda makes sense since thats where ogres live) and an iksar in OT (which is part of kunark). Some make sense, some don't. No real train of logic here I am thinking.
PS: Thinking about it later I came to the conclusion that all of the elders I have talked to so far seem to be trying to study a race of wild beings/creatures in an attempt to co-mingle that race's techniques with their own Beastlord magic to make stronger magics. Perhaps that is a clue we could use to find the troll... he/she will be attempting to study a race of wild beings/creatures somewhere.
I did notice a pattern, all of them are in or around water. I'm probably going to check what places I can that have water. So far I checked LGuk and UGuk tonight.
I was just thinking about this... but could it be possible that the last Elder is in a GoD zone? Though those zones are called Taelosia... but it's a shot.
Was thinking about GoD becuase I heard that most of the mobs there have a dd proc, which is like what our epic 1.5/2.0 do. Maybe one of the Elders is studying the inherent magic of those creatures or something?
What should be thee name of thee last one already?
His (her) name should be Mikkily (Troll race)
My thought atm. 3 starting citys in Antonica, 3 Elders found ( sure the vah shir starts on Luclin, but still), 1 Starting city on Kunark, 1 Elder found. 1 starting city on Luclin, no Elder found. I know it's a kind of lame theory, but that's all I got left. I have Ruled out GoD/OoW zones (since he wanted Norrathian places, a Elder mighta been kidnapped or followed someone to these zone sure, but it doesn't seem likely to me). I also voted out PoP and LDoN. Unless its in one of the PoP zones wich you can get into by just leveling. Mainly cause this seems to be epic 1.5 and it is supposed to be atainable by "non-ubers"
I ran through every single Velious zone apart from Sleepers and Plane of Growth (I realy mean every zone), and only troll I found was in far north part of Western Wastes. Though it scowled at me, but did not attack and name did not match (was something like Gibboku or something).
I have also done every Antonica, Odus, Faydwer and LoY zone. Nothing.
So my vote lays on Luclin...
Btw this tracking was done by max skill ranger and I made sure I didnt miss one inch of any zone. :wink:
It's not on Luclin, I checked every zone except VT, and a fellow bst checked that.
anyone check Dalgon cauldron (sp?) off of butcherblock?
Yah, and KK. Didnt see anything on track with the name... or find a Troll that looked questionable.
PoGrowth doesnt sound to be a illogical place. Lots of animals there. Only requires 46+ and was part of Velious. I'll scout it later today.
Edit: Nothing in PoG changed. Same ol same ol.
I think its pretty safe to assume they arnt in the game at this point. Patch wednesday supposedly to fix at least rogue epic, might be worth checking up with soe to see if he even exists so it can be fixed in the patch.
So we have checked...
Every old world zone.
Every velious zone.
Every luclin zone.
Every loy zone.
This leaves us with kunark, PoP, GoD and OoW right? Anyone been through these zones?
Found in West Wastes
Have the KArana's been checked? and Oasis of Marrs and those zones close? has water, has animals, close to a troll home city relatively....
It's been found....Troll Digguru on the middle north edge in Western Wastes. KOS, so you have to use sneak or invis tricks to do the turnin.
