Absolute Power is a quest for level 80 in Azj-Kahet. The quest's turn-in marker is in Hallowfall at 43.3, 56.4. It rewards 1,450 experience and money.
The dark allure of this item surpasses my initial expectations. I can sense a surge of power coursing through me.
We must delve deeper into its mysteries.
However, it is unwise to discuss this matter openly. Follow me inside, where we may deliberate further.

As a reminder, Aelric Leid was the leader of the Order of Night, fought at the end of A Candle in the Dark.

It is possible to win the argument without killing [npc=222045], in case you're trying for the pacifist route.
Its possible to finish this argument via the pacifist route, just repeat that you think he's being corrupted and he'll toss it back to you.
That being said, I want to know why it doesn't corrupt me while I hold or carry it about. I want to run around glowing purple and telling random people Xalatath's feet are amazeballs till a character takes it off me for my own good...
Sadly its totally useless to me, my current trinket is more powerful and its not even warbound. Pity.
