Hour 32: Pillar of Wisdom

With the vampire business out of the way, for now at least, I continue on with the Mages guild. They send me to an ancient ruin which is being excavated. Once there, I fire spells a a magical pillar in the centre of the ruin, which unlocks a secret staircase. This actually takes a while since I did not have all of the necessary spells, so I had to travel to Skingrad to buy one of them (how did I know to go the Skingrad?! I looked it up on one of the incredibly useful online guides. I consult these guides from time to time in situations such as this; there's no point wandering round every city looking for the right spell).
I descend into the bowels of the ruins and battle some ghosts, retrieving an ancient Elvish helmet at the end:


It looks awesome. I haven't worn armour in a while so I'm not sure if it's unique; I have a feeling all Elvish helmets look like that. However it is encrusted with verdigris, showing its age, which I don't think is normally on helmets.

I take the helmet back to the Arcane University where they thank me and relieve me of it. A little disappointing - I leant nothing about it and I assume it will not be mentioned again.
