Quest Text
Xuurk is looking to rally more iksar followers to his cause, and believes that having more proof of the word and deeds of Cazic-Thule will prove to be a boon. First, I must travel into the Fens of Nathsar and retrieve pieces of the canon of Cazic-Thule, so that Xuurk can repair it. From there, I will need to travel Norrath to collect evidence of the anger of Cazic-Thule, as evidence of what happens to those who anger the Faceless.
Completion
I have collected many relics from around the world related to Cazic-Thule, and have returned them to Xuurk in Cabilis. With these items, Xuurk plans to revive the faith of Cazic-Thule within the iksar people, hopefully avoiding their eradication at the hands of the Greenmist. Xuurk seems to have larger plans, though, and there is still more to be done.
