Battlespire:Ideal Master

thumb|right|Ideal Master
The Ideal Masters are the immortal "Makers" of the Soul Cairn, and take the form of small, red gemstones. There are a number of Ideal Masters within the Soul Cairn that will speak if spoken to; they rest within ornate sarcophagi, some of which require solving a riddle to open. Most are unwilling to help you unless you enter their service (which you cannot actually do since it would require your death). The Ideal Master found at Point S, however, can be persuaded to tell you how to reach your next destination, the Shade Perilous.

"You are not invited here. WHY DO YOU DISTURB OUR REST?!"


Reply 2
Would you enter our service, mortal?


Reply 3
Put off your mortal garments, and stand naked in the spirit. Your stained tablet must first be washed white by the fires of mana.

Seek the twin Fingers of Life in the Chapel of Love. Stand upon the pedestal and bathe yourself in the manabeams. The corruption of the flesh shall fall away, and the spirit shall be revealed in its glory. Then may you stand before us and serve for eternity in peace and joy.

Unless you join our service, we offer you no aid. Affairs of mortals are not our concern. Each mote of mana spent diminishes our eternity. Go and trouble me no more. But you speak with our brethren, who perhaps better recall wearing flesh, and who may look more generously upon your request.

You stand within the precincts of the  , an otherworldly refuge dedicated to peace, love, eternal rest and harmony. You stand before one of its Makers, whose name is so exalted you may not even speak it. You walk among its servants, who have pledged themselves in service to us, and who in reward have been gifted with life eternal and the peace that passes all mortal understanding.

Perhaps you seek death without the Rites. It is foolish, but you are free to choose.


Friendly Ideal Master

You must die and be born again. The form your spirit may take afterwards varies. You will have seen the servants of our realm.


Reply 4
Perhaps you can explain why we would wish to lavish our favors on one so churlish as to refuse us service?


Reply 5
And how would this possibly interest me?

'''Well, then. If you can make good on such threats, then surely you have no need of our aid. You must have a lot to do, so I won't keep you. Goodbye.


Reply 8
Yes. I take your point. I would not wish to stand between you and your vengeance upon these daedric marauders. Very well. Listen carefully.

Look carefully at the pillars which support our halls. Around some of these pillars are four bars. If you look closely, you will see that most are square in cross-section. Three of these are exceptional, round in cross-section. One is found in a Coffin Chapel. Another is found in the room with whirling disks. Yet another is found in the antechamber to the Chapel of Love. These three rods are the control rods for the Mana Font in the Chapel of Love.

The Chapel of Love is close by to the southwest. Seek the twin Fingers of Life which you must first kindle.


Reply 11
Step into the pool before the Emerald Gates, and you will be transported to the top of the vault.


Reply 12
Then take the three rods --  the Rod of the Pilot, the Rod of the Pillar, and the Rod of the Passage -- and place each, one by one, into the socket in the pedestal.


Reply 13
Then the Mana Font will send you to any of the known outer realms, provided only that you know the name of that realm, and that you speak that name at the Emerald Gates of the vault that encloses the portal.


Reply 14
You DO know the name of the realm you seek, don't you?

Clearly you have little or no comprehension of necromancy, and are therefore in no position to judge. You are clearly mortal, ignorant, and pitiable, so I will overlook your impertinence. Now. Introduce yourself, or leave.
