The blade is an essential part of the sword, but it is useless alone. You can't bring the force of a blade to bear without a hilt.

The Evil Sword is powerful enough to cleave a Drakan in two with a single blow, but a sword without a hilt is just a dangerous lump of steel.

"Go on..."

Agrif gave his all to make the finest hilt. He even cast a spell on it to help restrain the tremendous power of the blade. It controls the blade's five powers by mixing the energy of ice and fire.

A spell was also cast on the ornament, to unify the conflicted energies of the hilt. But when the Empyrean Lord destroyed the sword, the hilt was sliced in half.

Now you must recover the [%dic:STR_DIC_I_quest_ab1_06], the [%dic:STR_DIC_I_quest_ab1_07], and the [%dic:STR_DIC_I_quest_ab1_08] that was attached to the hilt.

"This is actually everything?"

Um...pretty sure. The pieces are hidden in [%dic:STR_DIC_W_IDAbRe_Up3_Crotan_SZ_All], [%dic:STR_DIC_W_IDAbRe_Up3_Dkisas_SZ_All], and [%dic:STR_DIC_W_IDAbRe_Up3_LaMiren_SZ_All] respectively. Unfortunately, they're in the hands of the Balaur now.

The hilt and ornament have great power, but they're useless unless attached to Agrif's Rage.

You're almost done. Really. Just go and get the last three pieces, [%username].

Accept. Decline.

Don't look so burdened!

Getting anything this good is bound to be difficult, right? If it were easy to get Agrif's Rage, it would probably be a piece of junk!

So hurry to the [%dic:STR_DIC_W_IDAbRe_Up3_Crotan_SZ_All], [%dic:STR_DIC_W_IDAbRe_Up3_Dkisas_SZ_All], and [%dic:STR_DIC_W_IDAbRe_Up3_LaMiren_SZ_All] right now.

Oh, I'll need 4.8 million Kinah this time.

"I hate you."

The Evil Sword without its hilt and ornament is actually less powerful than an ordinary sword.

I can't believe you'd be satisfied with just the blade--you'd never get it out of your scabbard!

Where would you put such a blade?

"I have an idea..."

I'm actually a little nervous now that the sword is nearing completion. I mean, an Empyrean Lord deemed it dangerous enough to sunder and seal away.

But I must restore the sword to clear the name of my master. I don't want him to be associated with a sword that does evil.

Have you brought the rest of the pieces?

"Yes. I have it."

Did you search the Treasure Chamber on the Isle of Roots, the Grave of Steel and the Twilight Battlefield?

The Balaur have not touched the sword fragments. "I'm sure it is."

If you don't have enough Kinah, borrow some.

The Magic Sword is nearly finished. You're not going to just stand around here and star at me like a puppy, are you?

"Almost."

Aha! The hilt of Agrif's Rage! I remember as if it were yesterday how Agrif toiled to craft it.

It looks just the same, except for in two pieces of course. And the ornament...yes, this is it. Honestly, I didn't have much hope you'd be able to get all the fragments.

When the work is done, you will be rewarded for your efforts, [%username]. And after I remove the curse, this sword will need a new name.

Go to the [%dic:STR_DIC_W_IDAbRe_Up3_Crotan_SZ_All], the [%dic:STR_DIC_W_IDAbRe_Up3_Dkisas_SZ_All] and the [%dic:STR_DIC_W_IDAbRe_Up3_LaMiren_SZ_All], find the hidden [%dic:STR_DIC_I_swordM3] and bring them to [%dic:STR_DIC_N_Usener], along with the Kinah he asked for.

[%collectitem]

Follow Usener's instructions and search for sword fragments in the Treasure Chambers of the Isle of Roots, the Grave of Steel and the Twilight Battlefield.

Usener said that he now also required the Cold Hilt Fragment, the Fire Fragment and the Ornament.

You travelled to the Treasure Chambers of the Isle of Roots, the Grave of Steel and the Twilight Battlefield, and found the fragments. You brought them back to Usener, who promised you a reward.
