Step 0: Preparation

To do this quest you need the following to start off:

• Ash Gromnie Tooth - Turn this into the ivory crafter in Zaikhal at 13,8N  0.7E to receive a letter of introduction.

• Turn in the letter of introduction in just down the street to Devana.  She will give you a 2 use key to Hamud's Chamber, and a letter for her father, Hamud.

Step 1: Getting to Hamud

  Hamud may be found down in the bottom of the Mountainous Fortress at 82.4S  19.9E.  When you enter the dungeon, be prepared for Zefirs and Shadows (Lts. and Panumbri).  You will need to make it down to Hamud's chamber past a lot of these.  To get there, refer to the below map (thank you to Asbel for this excellent map):

  Once you get down to the bottom, you will hit a door.  This is where you use the key that Devana gave you.  Hamud is the full-size shadow-person inside.  Give Hamud the Letter, and he will give you a key to the Empyrean Foundry so you can go get him an Ancient Pyreal Dagger.

Step 2: The Dagger

  The Dagger is deep in the Empyrian Foundry located at 25.2S  54.2E.  When you go in, go to the right and at the T intersection you will find a door.  Use the key here.  Kill all the mosswarts in the room, then you get to pull levers until you get all the doors open (beware, magic trap every time you pull the wrong lever.)  Next, go down and then down the left ramp.  Turn right and follow that to a passageway to the right.  Follow that all the way down and then it is (if I remember correctly) all rights until you go down a ramp that has another T intersection.  The dagger spawns down the left ramp in front of the altar at the end of the passage in a room (see below image.)  Be careful not to accidentally go into the lava, as you will die.  The dagger spawns approximately every 20 minutes, and you will fight Sclavi in this room.

Step 3: Back to Hamud

Once you get the dagger, return to Hamud's Chamber (See map above), and give him the Ancient Pyreal Dagger.  He will in return give you a letter for Devana, and Hamud's Pyreal Katar.

Step 4: Oswald's Dagger

Take the letter back up to Devana in Zaikhal, and she will give you Oswald's dagger.
