Description

So this Naias is the mastermind behind the Bloodscalp and their exotic magic? I'll admit, this is the last place I expected my inquiry to lead, but no matter, our findings may still prove useful.

Off the coast to the northwest is an island inhabited by lesser water elementals. There's a crude stone slab there that might serve as an altar for the likes of the trolls. Take the totem you found to that altar. Let's see if we can draw this Naias out and distill his power into a more agreeable form.

Frost mage, beware. All the elementals are immune to Ice magic, wich make it really hard to quest. You have to either use Arcane or Fire magic, and even then , at level 35, it was taking me around 75% of my mana to kill a single mobs, and they hit for a lot of damage.

So you may want to party with someone before trying to do it, or be patient.
