I was curious about the Titan he spoke over Foreman Arbauch's corpse.

Strangely, the only words that I can ascertain from researching this are from the Eredun language... and that's not right. That's the burning legion

"Zekul" = Darkness
"Zenn" = Eternal
"Aj" = And
"Asj" = Destroy
"Raka" = World
"Ruk shi" = Come to me
"Az" = The
"Amir" = One
"Mishun" = Power
"Zar" = End
"Arakl" = All
"Alaar" = Fire
"Lek" = Is
"Tiros" = Vengeance

Rough Translation: "Darkness eternal and darkness will destroy the world. Come to me, the one of power, all will end in fire, vengeance is vengeance."

The language of Eredun is often cryptic and poetic, so translations may have some flexibility in interpretation. This sentence reflects a theme of destruction, power, and vengeance.

Of course, this makes zero sense in the context of things! Unless Danagh and Arbauch were secret demon brothers. *shrug*

Description

Apologies. Arbauch was not here for repairs--he stole that golem. Arbauch and I worked alongside it for years in the darkest reaches of the Deeps. The work took its toll on the golem. It became erratic, dangerous even. We planned to decommission it, but when the time came, Arbauch couldn't bear it. He'd become attached. Before it could be destroyed, he took it and fled. It must be found, but the damage to this substation is catastrophic. With your help, I will attempt repairs.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Ghosts in the MachineThe Ringing Deeps · Level 73-75

    There's a substation directly below us? Perhaps that is where Arbauch went to hide it... Disregard, we must investigate. With luck, Arbauch may still be here. The entrance should be to the north, near the pool of water from the burst pipe. Please, come with me. He may need our help.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Duty of CareThe Ringing Deeps · Level 73-75

    The golem is unstable. I doubt it can travel far. We will track it, but haste failed me once already. Arbauch showed true devotion to the machines--we will follow his example. Repairs must come first. Machine systems are delicate. We must activate the backup before the failure can cascade.
