Ak'Anon INT Caster Armor

This is one of many youngling armor quests. This one, based in Ak'Anon, is for "good" young gnomish INT casters (followers of Bertoxx must use the evil caster armor quest instead). Armor pieces will be lore (other than bracer), no drop, GNM; MAG, WIZ, ENC. Pieces are dark green in color, other than the robe, which was described as "sort of electric fluorescent lemon and lime colour". Reports have come in that all small cloth armor that is vendor-sold in Ak'Anon will work for these quests, other than the sandals. For those, you must find (medium) cloth sandals from a boot merchant. Please note that while the bracers are not lore, the bracer materials often are, so make your first bracer before you get the parts for a second one

They had found them will excavating some ruins in the Gorge of King Xorbb and were unable to decipher what they meant. I had them bound in a special tome but unfortunately some pickpockets stole them from me in hopes that they would bring them great power I suppose. If you can find these 4 pages for me I would be very grateful for I would be able to finish my studies of them. Will you [seek out the stolen tome pages]?'

You say, 'I will seek out the stolen tome pages'

Xalirilan Zarinokosalio says 'I am very pleased to hear that you are willing to help and from your track record I have no doubt in my mind that you will be able to retrieve these pages. I would guess that they were given to the Dark Reflection casters for study after they were stolen from me so that would be where I would look. These casters do not understand our cause and serve dark gods so lethal force may be necessary. Just please be careful and make sure you have worthy adventuring partners with you because the battle may not be easy.'

There is a group of gnomes at -1160, -1760, and the pages will drop off the following 4 gnomes: Galorin (p. 1), Faeeron (p. 2), Diloperia (p. 3), Halorniop (p. 4)
