In Our Shadows

**In Our Shadows** is the third quest in the Rhalâim revenge questline. 24 hours after finishing Qalian's Last Smile, you can visit Tharaêl Narys in the Undercity Main Cavern in an unhabititated Shed, close to the gates of the Undercity/Ark. He has prepared a meeting for you with the Rhalâta to give them the Bundle of Lost Pages of the The Butcher of Ark chronicles.

He will give you a Scion Robe with hood and when the First Seer asks you about meeting Tharael for retrieving the pages, you must give the following answers: According to your contact Rezio Daran, the Rhalata were looking for these and with the information of the whereabouts of the pages, you met with Tharael Narys in the False Dog and went on a mission to retrieve them.

Also, the Rhalata follow the following rules:

* Showing other parts than your face, is considered disrespectful, as the Rhalata members aim for transcense and becoming less attached to the body and all carnal desires humans are afflicted with. Always wear the robes given by Tharael in their headquarters.
* A mercenary has the same rank as a scion, which is the lowest in the Rhalâta hierarchy. Only sleepers who don't work for the Rhalata are lower ranked. As such, never speak to someone, unless spoken to first.
* Never speak about The Father. This is considered disresceptful.

Disrespecting the rules does not seem to have direct consequences, but could have some later in the storyline. After Tharael has explained the meeting with them, follow him to the Rhalata headquarters. From the Main Caverns, head to the Barracks and then to Dust Pit (past the Silver Cloud). From the Dust Pit, head west towards the nearly unoccupied area and then open the doors to the Barracks.

She will also willing to trade goods with you, but her stock of goods is quite mixed and of low quantity in any good she has for sale.

This is where the renegade Nessah is located. A light source and waterbreathing can make it somewhat easier, but the amount of time underwater is quite short.
