The Forgotten Sanctum

The archmage Maura entered the Halls Obscured in search of something that might stop Eothas' destructive pilgrimage.

Based on the notes Maura left in the Temple of Revelation, Tayn and Llengrath believe she may have ventured into the Archives.

I need to find my way into the Archives if I have any hope of finding Maura.

Objectives

  1. Enter the Archives.
  2. Pursue Maura.
  3. Confront Maura.
  4. Confront Fyonlecg.
  5. Find the book Maura was searching for in The Oratory of Wael.
  6. Use the Incantations of the Hand to open the Vault Door leading to the Oratory of Wael.
  7. Enter the Oratory of Wael.

Endings

  1. Maura discovered a way to enter Wael's body - one must sacrifice a specific memory to a machine called a Trephine. She didn't know how to use the device, however. I possess that knowledge from my confrontation with the Memory Hoarder in the Collections.
  2. Maura discovered a way to enter Wael's body - one must sacrifice a specific memory to a machine called a Trephine. Unfortunately, I've no idea how to operate such a device. The answers must be somewhere in his sanctum, though it doesn't seem to be in the Archives.
  3. I stumbled upon a grisly scene at the entrance to the Archives - a group of slaughtered Librarians. Could this be Maura's doing?
  4. I found the central stair leading to The Oratory of Wael.
  5. The curious inscription on the Central Stacks Vault Door is likely the work of the Hand Occult. Considering the sheer quantity of books this strange library holds, there must be one concerning unusual locks.
  6. I found a pair of lecterns flanking a locked door. Their surfaces are inscribed with riddles. Perhaps some of the books on this floor have the answers I need.
  7. I discovered that the complicated lock on the Central Stacks Vault Door was an illusion. With that mystery solved, I can now search for the strange figure on Maura's tail
