This is one of 3 sub-quests needed to complete "A Crusade to Faydwer" in the Swords of Destiny Quest Series.

You need to speak Koada'Dal (the language of the High Elves) to obtain this quest.

It begins in New Tunaria by examining a shield on the wall in the Hall of Truth. -310, 53.81, -858

You must find 5 coins from A Tunarian Guards. These are random updates from the Tunarian Guards in and around the Hall of Truth area.

You must find a dozen 12 Koada blooms. These are special harvestable flowers that seem to grow near trees to the rear of the Hall of Truth.

You must collect the four gazes of Koada'Vie. These are random updates from killing the A Sentry of Righteousness, the stone golems patrolling the circular area to the rear of the Hall of Truth.

Once you have collected all of these things, click on the fire in the brazier at -402, 53.07, -830.64 to summon and talk to a vision of General Jyleel and complete the quest and receive Investigator's Handbook.

I have read the poem called "The Star of Clouded Mount." The secret of General Jyleel rests within of the poem of the splendid shield.

Stage 1

The poem hints that I may need offerings to call forth the spirit of General Jyleel. I will seek out the offerings it hinted of.

Start:	I need to find coins from the Tunarian guards.
Complete:	I looted the medals.

Start:	I need to find a dozen Koada blooms to offer the flames.
Complete:	I picked the flowers in Felwithe.

Start:	I need to claim the 4 gazes of Koada'vie.
Complete:	I have acquired the gazes of Koada'vie.

I have acquired the offerings that need to be placed at the "general's plate."

Stage 2

I need to place the offerings within a beacon to bough.

Start:	I need to place the offerings within a 'beacon to bough.'
Complete:	I placed the offering in the flame.

I have placed all of the offering to General Jyleel. His ghost should now march again.

Stage 3

The vision of General Jyleel holds the Investigator's Handbook. I must speak with the vision to retrieve the book. If he vanishes before we speak, I will be forced to abandon this quest and begin again.

Start:	I must speak to the vision of General Jyleel to claim the handbook before he vanishes again.
Complete:	I have agreed to aid the vision of General Jyleel.

I have claimed the Investigator's Handbook after conversing with the vision of General Jyleel.

After reading the poem, "The Star of Clouded Mount," I encountered a ghost of a Koada'Dal named General Jyleel. This ghost held onto a book called "The Investigator's Guide." I acquired this book from the ghost.

I'm a Freeport citizen and I can tell you if you have gone to Neriak, there is a merchant that sells ALL the good languages. I can't remember the name of the NPC, but there IS one. No need to do the quest. ALSO, for GAYNOS citizens, in Kelethin there is a NPC that sells all the EVIL languages, ie Iskar and whatnot. So you can learn them that way. Hope it helps cause I didn't do a languge quest.

It will not start the quest for me.

I believe this requires that you know the Koada'Dal Langage to start. You get this by starting a quest line in Maj'Dul and is a sub-quest off of that one. I don't remeber the quest line off the top of my head, I'll update where to start it later.
You can also buy the Koada'Dal Language Primer in Castleview Hamlet in Qeynos.
I don't know the language and I get this from the shield"

Quote:

"There is Koada'Dal writing on the shield. The writing is organized into a poem. there is a faing image of a start and a mountain with a a cloud over it."
