Objectives
Defeat the Archivist.
- The Archivist slain
Description
The rarest volumes are kept at the top of this tower, protected by an entity called the Archivist.
This stoic guardian is incorruptible. Intractable. Completely uninterested in striking a fair bargain!
Its utter lack of business acumen is really quite upsetting.
Ah, well. I fear we have no choice but to dispatch this impediment. Shall we?
Rewards
You will receive:
- 36 50 40
- 12,500 XP
- +135 reputation with The Undying Army
Completion
The volumes are not here!
The Archivist's final words must have meant something. A clue, perhaps?
Notes
On accept, Ta'eran begins accompanying you and assisting you in combat. The Archivist is waiting in the chamber at the top of the tower along with a few Tomes of War.
- Aggro
- The Archivist says: So long your climb, can you face failure now?
- Death
- The Archivist says: Victory only belongs to those brave enough to fail.
After killing it, turn in to Ta'eran. While you're in the room, you can loot the 
[The Necronom-i-nom] toy from one of the bookshelves.

- Description
The Archivist resides at the top, guarding access to the rarest volumes.
They are but a summoned guardian. They can not be reasoned with. They have but one purpose... guard the volumes.
We will have to dispatch them.
