== Walkthrough ==

You say, 'Hail, Scholar Darnath'

: Scholar Darnath says, 'Ah… another curious one. Good. You may be just what the Icestar needs. The Snowdrift Elves speak of a forgotten book — one older than their own songs. A ledger kept by the Icestar itself, tracking both good and evil deeds. It lives not as a physical book, but instead as a sort of magical recording. But the Icestar [cracked] somehow, and with it, the memory of how to access the Ledger was also lost. But I do have some good news. The preamble to the Ledger of Virtues and Wrongs is a written instruction book of sorts, containing the history and memories of the Icestar. If we can piece the preamble back together, we should be able to repair the Icestar and access the ledger once again.'

You say, 'what cracked?'

: Scholar Darnath says, 'Unfortunately, the cracking of the Icestar created very powerful rifts within our worlds, and with it, the preamble’s pages now drift across Norrath, caught in frost, memory… and silence. I could use your [help] in finding them.'

You say, 'I will help'

: Scholar Darnath says, 'Restoring the preamble, the 'Whispers of the Icestar', will restore the Icestar enough, allowing for the memories of the ledger to be accessed once again and the Icestar to be repaired fully. If you're bold enough to [seek] them, make haste to sew them together and recreate the tome.'

You say, 'I am bold enough to seek'

: Scholar Darnath says, 'Six chapters must be found to complete the record. Each is protected by frost and time - and by stories waiting to be told again. Snowdrift Elves are out searching this very moment for them. Find them and sew the binding in the chapters in a sewing kit to complete the tome. Bring the full tome back to me when it is complete and if the Icestar still listens… perhaps it will speak once more. Until then, the memories contained within will continue to fade. Even now, memories and deeds are forgotten.'

Complete Quests for Chapters I - VI from the Snow Elves Across Norrath.

Combine all chapters in a Large Sewing Kit to create [[Whispers of the Icestar]].

Hand [[Whispers of the Icestar]] to Scholar Darnath.

: Scholar Darnath says, 'Thank you %Player% for your help restoring the preamble and allowing us access to the memories once more. Your deed has mended more than a fragment of lore - it has given hope new shape. The preamble is once again restored, the Ledger accessed, and the Icestar mended. You have helped the memories of the good deeds be remembered, helping us to restore Aurilias' promise to Norrath.  In my years of studying, I’ve come across a few items that may be of interest. If it doesn't meet your needs, hand it back and I'll see if I can find one that better suits you. Unfortunately we still don't know [why].'

You say, 'Why?'

: Scholar Darnath says, 'The reason for the cracking is still unknown - disturbing. The immediate issue has been resolved, but we will need to delve more into this to find the true cause of the cracking in the first place. This reason must exist within the Plane of Snowdrift, to which we must retreat and do more research.'

You receive [[Zombie Flesh Bracer]] and a [[Holiday Gift]]. From here you can Round Robin trade for other items.

: Scholar Darnath says, 'Of course. May the light guide your choice.' 

Trade [[Zombie Flesh Bracer]] for [[Paebala Fetish]].

: Scholar Darnath says, 'Still doesn't suit your fancy eh? Try this one'

Trade [[Paebala Fetish]] for [[Cloak of Confusion]].

: Scholar Darnath says, 'Well that's all I have, but I'm happy to offer the same items.'

Trade [[Cloak of Confusion]] for [[Zombie Flesh Bracer]].
