Mission:Tip - Taper Of The Frozen Flame
Taper Of The Frozen Flame
You find a very interesting item in a recently acquired magic tome.
While flipping through the pages of a recently acquired supposedly demonic magic tome, you#re largely disappointed with your findings. However, one artifact mentioned in this so-called catalog of demonic artifacts stands out. Something called the Taper of the Frozen Flame. This candle is said to be inexhaustible and on its wick burns a cold-fire. A ritual mentioned in this tome explains that the taper can be used to multiply a user's power over cold by a factor of a hundred This could amplify a relatively powerful person's cold manipulation power to a near unimaginable level.
This book hints at the location of this artifact. If your understanding of the riddles found on these pages is correct, then the artifact rests deep under what is now known as Grandville in Oranbegan ruins.
You could set off to obtain the Taper of the Frozen Flame for yourself.
Alternatively, you could destroy it, as it is far too dangerous to leave for someone to find.

ROGUE: Destroy the artifact before it falls into the wrong hands!
Briefing
This Taper of the Frozen Flame's power is incredible tempting. You could sell it, or perhaps use it for your own end. However, you keep coming back to the same conclusion, Doing either can only end in catastrophe. The only solution is to destroy the artifact.
- Destroy the artifact before it falls into the wrong hands.
If someone with truly ill intentions got their hands on this artifact it could spell the end of everything. Catastrophes aren't good for your business, namely your business of making a name for yourself in the Rogue Isles. You head off to where you believe the taper might be.
Unnecessary Solicitation
The Taper of the Frozen Flame could still fall into the hands of a very dangerous individual. You need to destroy it before that happens.
Mission Objective(s)
You hear harmonized chanting and guttural demonic snarls. The Circle of Thorns is obviously here too.
- Destroy the Taper
- Destroy the Taper of the Frozen Flame
- Defeat Polar Shift to escape

- Thesaedes (Circle of Thorns Death Mage)
- Polar Shift (Rogues Gallery Boss)
Inside the chest you discover half a dozen tomes that are identical to the one that lead you to the Taper of the Frozen Flame.
After interrogating Thesaedes he reveals that his plan was to make several copies of a tome that detailed the power of the Taper of the Frozen Flame and litter them throughout the Rogue Isles. He says this was done to lure a powerful magic-based villain who could manipulate cold that they could use to harness the power of the taper. They planned to use this power to cover the surface in a perpetual winter.
Debriefing
The Circle of Thorns was intending to lure villains to their lair to harness their energy to use the power of the Taper of the Frozen Flame. Not only that, but you were attacked by Polar Shift, who was also after the artifact. Your gut feeling was right, that artifact needed to be destroyed. After defeating Polar Shift, she seemed to come to some sort of realization and snuck away in tears.
