* 35 Discipline
* [[Item:Holy oil|Holy oil]]
* [[Item:Holy oil|Holy oil]]
* a feather from the Crossing cleric shop
* a feather from the Crossing cleric shop
* 13 altar candles and a way to light them
* holy water
* a decent amount of devotion
* two spell slots


===Recommendations===
* Recommended: Enough Holy/Targeted Magic to cast [[Harm Evil]] at least at 47 mana (more is better, this is to even have a chance hitting the bony fylgja)
You need to be able to hit the [[bony fylgja]]. In general, this requires at least a 24 mana cast of [[Harm Horde]] or 45 mana cast of [[Harm Evil]] with a minimum of 35 discipline. After reading the tome (step 3), you will be randomly ambushed by [[bony fylgja]]. If you can kill them outside the void, then you will be fine on the quest. If you can't kill them, find someone to teach you Targeted Magic and guard you while you work on the below. Here are some things you can do to improve your chances of hitting:
* Recommended: At least 35 Discipline (more is better, this is to help with hitting the bony fylgja)

* Recommended: Targeted [[Cleric_3.0#Alignment|alignment]]
* Have a 270 minimum average of Holy Magic and Targeted Magic
* Recommended: [[Harm Horde]], [[Time of the Red Spiral]], Targeted Mastery [[Magical feats|magical feat]]
* Pick up the Targeted Mastery [[Magical feats|magical feat]]
* Recommended: [[Persistence of Mana]]
* [[Cleric_3.0#Alignment|Align]] to a god to get a Targeted Magic bonus
* Use [[Time of the Red Spiral]] to boost your [[Harm Evil]] or [[Harm Horde]] spells
* Get a Moon Mage [[prediction]] on Targeted Magic and/or Holy Magic
* Adjust your {{com|SPELLS}} {{tt|STANCE 100 70 130}}

Other recommendations for the quest include:

* Using [[Major Physical Protection]] and [[Shield of Light]] with an evasion/shield stance give you the best chance to avoid being hit
* Cast [[Protection from Evil]] and [[Minor Physical Protection]] just in case you are hit
* Cast [[Persistence of Mana]] before entering the void to help with mana-intensive casting
* <s>OM will discharge when going through the portal, so don't rely on it for POM, or other spells.</s> There appears to be a bug where OM gets removed, but the spells in it don't go away.


===Walkthrough===
===Walkthrough===

# We begin. Talk to Father Karjon in the {{rmap|4a|church of Tiger Clan}}. He's hard to miss. Ask Karjon about Murrula's Flames and he'll give you a key

# Now, head down to the dark spirits (use divine radiance as a light source), and you'll find a room that has a pile of rotting timbers in it. Look for the pile that looks "oddly different". Push on the timbers until the trap door appears. Unlock it with the key and go trap door

# Read the tome, there is heavy RT here, but the area is safe.
=== ===
# Head to the {{rmap|60|Forest of Night}} north of Leth Deriel. There, head to the death spirit area. You may enter through the mists at night or through [[Silverclaw Hub]] at any time of day. Upon entering this area, say "Findylis." in every room. The room that worked for me was the one immediately southeast of where I entered.
If at any time you lose the egg or phoenix, you'll have to restart the entire quest. Go back to Karjon and {{com|Ask}} {{tt|Karjon to QUIT}}. This comes with a '''steep''' price, however. You won't be able to start the quest again for '''''3 RL months'''''
# Findylis will take you to her tree and talk to you for awhile then ask you to kill and raise a dryad.

# Get your holy oil, and your feather, Then, head back to the blood dryad and nyad spot. Kill one, soul bond it, dip feather in oil, mark dryad with feather and then raise it. MAKE SURE YOU BOND IT. If you don't it'll raise a corrupted dryad that will tear you to shreds.
# Talk to Father Karjon in the {{rmap|4a|church of Tiger Clan}}. He shows up at late morning. {{com|ASK}} {{tt|Karjon about Murrula's Flames}} and he'll give you a key.
# Head back to the same spot and say Findylis again. Here, she will give you a speech, and then ask you to climb her tree and "Master the Echos"
# Head down to the dark spirits (use [[Divine Radiance]] as a light source), and you'll find a room that has a pile of rotting timbers in it. Look for the pile that looks "oddly different". Push on the timbers until the trap door appears. {{com|UNLOCK}} it with the key, {{com|OPEN}} and {{com|GO}} {{tt|trap door}}.
# Once you climb the tree, type 'listen', and various random musics will start to echo. Each time a type of music plays, it will be a favored type of an aspect of Faenella. Idon (heron), is all drums and percussions. Faenella (wren) is all harps and stringed instruments. Murrula (phoenix) is all flutes and woodwinds. Touch the figures who correspond to the music.
# {{com|Open}} {{tt|tome}}. {{com|READ}} {{tt|tome}}. {{com|Turn}} {{tt|tome}} to change pages and continue reading until the end. There is heavy [[Roundtime|RT]] here, but the area is safe.
# Go down and talk to Findylis again. She will tell you to have the immortals cast their benevolent gaze down upon you, etc. This means, go to the Eyes of the Thirteen in the Crossing Temple and light each one. Buy silver altar candles from the cart-monk on the temple grounds outside, and put the candle in each of the candlesticks. Once they're all lit, hurry down to the main altar and put your egg on it. If all the candles are still lit, the egg will "hatch" a statue of a phoenix.
# Head to the death spirit area in the {{rmap|60|Forest of Night}} north of Leth Deriel. You may enter through [[Silverclaw Hub]] at any time of day. Begin to {{com|SAY}} {{tt|Findylis}} in every room of the death spirit area.
# Clean the phoenix with some holy water. It'll read something like starry road whatever. This means, its off to {{rmap|31a|the Zaulfung}} again! Apparently if you don't do this at the Temple it won't message but you can still complete the quest as long as the Phoenix is clean. Go to the greater Zaulfung swamp and go to the area on Ranik's map marked "Beak" and climb it. <br/> NOTE: If your climbing skill is lacking, ask a Ranger to cast a capped [[Athleticism]] spell upon you. Go all the way down, go all the way north, and climb the crevice. Go up, and climb the spire. when you get to the top put phoenix in spire
# Findylis will take you to her tree and talk to you for a while then ask you to kill and raise a dryad.
# Now, you're back in the void. Kill all of the bony fylgjas and get the piece of glass that they drop, one at a time. Affix the glass to the triptych of where that aspect of the god is missing (the triptychs are east a bit, don't bother mapping it as it changes every time you go in.) For example, if a shark drops, put it on the triptych with the albatross and dolphin, and so on. I had 150 TM (pre 3.0 - it's likely that ~200+ TM is required now) at this point, and it took casts of HE at 40-50 to even dent them. Suffice to say, it took a long time to kill them all. I've been told you don't have to kill them all, just enough to get all the triptychs, however it can be difficult to sort through them while you're being attacked so I still recommend just killing them all, then gathering up the triptychs. NOTE: There are random stuns in this area BE CAREFUL Once you kill them all, another portal will open in some random room. Go around until you find it. Go into the nebulous rift.
# Get your holy oil and your feather then head back to the blood dryad and nyad spot. Kill a dryad, cast soul bonding on it, {{com|DIP}} {{tt|feather in holy oil}}, {{com|MARK}} {{tt|dryad with feather}} and then [[Resurrection|raise]] it. If your devotion level is too low, you won't be able to complete this step. Wait for the newly risen dryad to leave the area before heading back to Findylis, or she will not recognize that you completed her task.

Walkthrough

If at any time you lose the egg or phoenix, you'll have to restart the entire quest.  Go back to Karjon and ASK KARJON TO QUIT.  This comes with a steep price, however.  You won't be able to start the quest again for 3 RL months
  1. Talk to Father Karjon in the church of Tiger Clan. He shows up at late morning. ASK KARJON ABOUT MURRULA'S FLAMES and he'll give you a key.
  2. Head down to the dark spirits (use Divine Radiance as a light source), and you'll find a room that has a pile of rotting timbers in it. Look for the pile that looks "oddly different". Push on the timbers until the trap door appears. UNLOCK it with the key, OPEN and GO TRAP DOOR.
  3. OPEN TOME. READ TOME. TURN TOME to change pages and continue reading until the end. There is heavy RT here, but the area is safe.
  4. Head to the death spirit area in the Forest of Night north of Leth Deriel. You may enter through Silverclaw Hub at any time of day. Begin to SAY FINDYLIS in every room of the death spirit area.
  5. Findylis will take you to her tree and talk to you for a while then ask you to kill and raise a dryad.
  6. Get your holy oil and your feather then head back to the blood dryad and nyad spot. Kill a dryad, cast soul bonding on it, DIP FEATHER IN HOLY OIL, MARK DRYAD WITH FEATHER and then raise it. If your devotion level is too low, you won't be able to complete this step. Wait for the newly risen dryad to leave the area before heading back to Findylis, or she will not recognize that you completed her task.
    • MAKE SURE YOU SOUL BOND THE DRYAD. If you don't it'll raise a corrupted dryad that will kill you.
  7. Head back to the same spot and say Findylis again. Here, she will give you a speech, and then ask you to climb her tree and "Master the Echos."
  8. Climb the tree and LISTEN. Various random musics will start to echo. Each time a type of music plays, it will be a favored type of an aspect of Faenella. Idon (heron), is all drums and percussions. Faenella (wren) is all harps and stringed instruments. Murrula (phoenix) is all flutes and woodwinds, and singing. TOUCH the figures who correspond to the music. After you touch the figures enough times correctly a long sequence will begin, and you will receive an egg.
    • You only need to listen once, even if prompted to listen again later.
    • Wait until an egg appears on the altar and pick it up.
  9. Go down and talk to Findylis again. She will tell you to have the immortals cast their benevolent gaze down upon you, etc. Head to the Crossing Temple.
  10. The rest of this sequence must be completed in a timed window, or your phoenix will turn back into an egg and you will have to restart at this point. Make sure you have six uninterrupted hours of time on hand.
  11. Buy thirteen altar candles from a cleric shop or the cart-monk on the temple grounds. Head up to the Eyes of the Thirteen and put a lit candle in each of the candlestick next to each of the Thirteen's altars. Once they're all lit hurry down to the High altar and put your egg on it. If all the candles are still lit, the egg will "hatch" a statue of a phoenix.
  12. Clean the phoenix with some holy water. It should read something about the starry road. This means, its off to the Zaulfung swamp again!
    • Apparently if you do not clean the phoenix at the altar it won't message, but you will be able to complete the quest so long as the phoenix is clean.
  13. Go to the greater Zaulfung swamp and go to the area on Ranik's map marked "Beak" (lich 10860) (room name: [Zaulfung, Aldauth's Maw]) and climb it.
    • If your climbing skill is lacking, ask a Ranger to cast Athleticism upon you. 150 Athletics was enough to not need the buff.
  14. Go all the way down, go all the way north, and climb the crevice. Go up, and climb the spire (rm93-genie)(lich 12060). When you get to the massive black basalt spire PUT PHOENIX IN SPIRE. After a short sequence, a portal will open. Get the phoenix from the spire and go through the portal.
    • Once you enter you will not be able to use any of your inventory. Cast Persistence of Mana before entering the void.
    • Don't drop your phoenix while in the Starry Road. If you do and it disappears, you will be stuck requiring GM intervention.
  15. Now, you're back in the void. Thirteen total bony fylgja will spawn each holding a carving for a triptych; kill the bony fylgjas and get the carving that they drop. Affix the carving to the triptych of where that aspect of the god is missing (map with god grouping hints: https://imgur.com/a/nBfxYyZ). For example, if a shark drops, put it on the triptych with the albatross and dolphin, and so on. See the recommendations above for Targeted/Holy Magic and spell cast mana requirements.

    • RECOMMENDATION: If you have Harm Horde, try to group up multiple bony fylgja in one room and kill them together to save time.
  16. Once you place all the triptychs, a nebulous rift will open randomly. Go into the nebulous rift.
