Depths of Madness is a quest available in . Eminelya asks the Vestige to find the Queen's entourage who were teleported away by a crazy mage. Sanessalmo, the mage, is testing each of them in their own world. The Vestige offers to participate in his tests, and Sanessalmo opens portals for them.

==Walkthrough==
When approaching the Glister Vale from the southeast, you will find a woman named Eminelya sitting by a campfire. She will tell you that she was traveling with members of the Queen's entourage, but they were kidnapped by an evil mage and taken into the Vale. She will ask you to go in and save them, and she will give you teleportation scrolls to use when you find them. 
Head through the cave and fight your way through all the giant bats there. At the other end, you will find the Glister Vale. Head to the building you see in the distance; this is the Tower of the Vale. Talk to Lanitaale once inside; she will tell you that a mage called Sanessalmo brought them here and then cast some sort of spell. She will constantly try to buy your gear off of you; give her a teleportation scroll and she will leave. A projection of Sanessalmo will now appear in the big room up ahead; speak with him and he will tell you that he has trapped each of the Queen's entourage in a prison of their own making; a land crafted from their insecurities.
Sanessalmo will agree to create a portal for you to Minantille's location. You will find yourself in a cave; make your way through and you will find yourself in a place with many Flame Atronachs. Minantille will be located on the hill across the lava pool; you will need to fight through many of the atronachs to get there. Once you reach Minantille, you will be set upon by an enemy known as Minantille's Rage. Kill it, then speak with Minantille. She will thank you for helping her overcome her anger from being disgraced as a general, and will take your teleportation scroll. 
After you have helped Minantille, a portal will appear just ahead. It will take you to Merion's headspace; you will again find yourself in a cave. Head through to the big room; in the north of said room, you will find Merion with the spirit of a lady. Speak with Merion and he will insist that he is in love, but that his love is scared of the giant mushrooms here in the cave and thus won't move from here. He will mention that he was going to use the mushrooms' spores for alchemy, but he left his pack somewhere. The backpack is in the center of the room; it will contain a recipe for a potion to resist magic spells. The ingredients can be found around this cave. The Lavendercap Mushrooms are in the southern tunnel; head on from there to the upper floor and you will find the Bloodcrown Spores. Then head south from there to find the final ingredient, the Gleamcap Spores. Once you have all the ingredients and have mixed them into a potion, head back and use it on Merion's lady friend. She will disappear; give Merion the teleportation scroll and he will head out. 
Head back to the portal you used to get here, and use it to return to the Tower of the Vale. You will see a new portal there, to Nuulehtel's headspace. You will find yourself in an icy cave; Nuulethel will be just in front of you. He will ask you to build him a fire so that he can warm up and get out of here. The materials to build the fire can be found around the cave; the Flint and Tinder are in the west, the Oil is in the north and the Straw is in the east. Once you have all of these things, head back to Nuulehtel and build a campfire. Nuulehtel will now agree to use your scroll to get to safety. 
Head back to the main tower and through the trap door in the northeast of the room. You will find yourself in Sanessalmo's lair; confront him and kill him, then use your last teleportation scroll to get back to Eminelya. Speak with her to finish the quest.
