So... you choose to walk this road of power beyond the darkness of death and pain. Read this scroll, then, if you believe you have the will and patience to decipher it.
The cackling con man will lead you to want to torture him. He is a fool, set out to distract you. Those who seek to understand the way of true power and control will know the signs. If you are to walk this path, you will need nothing more than the symbol of ultimate victory and power. I will speak no more.
The witches and warlocks of our Coven know well many pretenders try to wander the places of death. They wander and do not enter. If you see the dead cast aside, and enter our house, you will find much more than you ever even dreamed.
Look carefully as you descend, and beware the undead you might disturb. What you see and witness is to be shared with no one, lest the spirits of the past come to tear your piteous heart from your body and feed on it. Heed these words, or don't, at your own peril.
As you wander these halls you will find teachers. Some are obvious. Others hide to toy with those who suffer from impatience and untrained sight. Be aware of anything out of the ordinary and investigate for your own progress and power. Our teachers leave things in strange places, in hidden nooks and crannies and even the most routine scrap of cloth may hold more than it appears.
The process of brewing cauldrons into arcana is secret. Coven members were even persuaded to lend some knowledge to the other mages about how to create armors. Other than this knowledge passed on in the HELP WARLOCK ARCANA scroll, we agree we shall never share these secrets with anyone. This is a test of our skills and power over the material world. If the spirits of the House see any revealing these secrets, they deserve whatever miserable fate befalls them.
1. Read the HELP WARLOCK ARCANA scroll carefully and with patience until it yields its secrets to you.
2. Attain mastery over arcana and barter skills as soon as you can
3. The cauldron and potions change form in skilled hands.
4. Show discipline by keeping notes of your progress and attempts. This will be most profitable for you.
The shadow dragon is a sign for all to see that you have mastered the heights of power in our path. Much strength is needed to control the summoned shadow dragon. The Covenhouse Leader will assign a task, and you will complete it. It is designed to prepare you for the bigger task of self control while taming your dragon's spirit. If you fail to control its spirit, it will destroy you. Seek out the Covenhouse Leader when your time with the dragon nears. (Don't know who your subguild leader is? Use the GS command while in the lands to find out.)
The charter of the Coven was written by the great Penilord, and can be found here. Arcadain has scribed the history of our subguild; it is found here.
Welcome to the Covenhouse, the home of Penilord, Icejester, Malevolus, Vistilantus, Arcadain, and Jamira. You have chosen well.
