Walkthrough
- 1Stephan Sand is in the Sand Residence in The Pit, so this needs the Dark path open.
- 2The cipher is cracked with the Scroll of Waves, in a bookcase down the east hallway of the School of Sorcery — reached via a switch behind Eric Swarrel's Book Shop counter.
- 3A button by the south-west bed there reveals a secret room worth opening while you are in.
- 4You also need the Breeding Zone done, which opens the Harmondale library the cipher refers to.
- 5Decoding it means subtracting the scroll's third word from the library's message, letter by letter. It yields a location in southern Erathia and a five-button compass code — north, east, south, west, centre — that opens the tomb door.
- 6What is inside the Tomb of Ashwar Nog'Nogoth is not documented in any source checked for this guide. Clear it and report to Stephan Sand.
