2. PEN AND SWORD — INKWING (CARLIN)
Go to Carlin and find NPC Phillip. Talk to him about his book— he'll tell you a monster escaped from it and is roaming the Carlin surroundings.
Follow the ink traces leading south of Carlin. Go down into the underground area and follow the corridors to the end. Step on the ink pool on the floor. Defeat Inkwing, then report back to Phillip about the book.
Phillip will suggest talking to Wyrdin at the Noodles Academy of Modern Magic in Edron for further investigation.
3. WYRDIN AND THE ILLUMINATED PAGES (EDRON)
At the Noodles Academy in Edron, talk to Wyrdin about the book. The same problem is happening in the academy and Edron Castle — book pages are working as portals bringing ink creatures through.
Go three floors down and enter the quest door to the east. You'll face Cinder Wyrmlings and Shell Drakes. Find three Illuminated Book Pages hidden in objects:
ILLUMINATED BOOK PAGE LOCATIONS
- • Page A: Inside a dead tree
- • Page B: Inside a tree stump
- • Page C: Inside some mushrooms
Return all three pages to Wyrdin. He'll counter-spell the first two — return them to the academy towers (one floor above the central tower, and three floors above the southern tower). Report back to Wyrdin.
WARNING
After the next step, your Summon Familiar spell is disabled until you complete the quest. Make sure you're ready to continue.
Go to Edron Castle library (west of Daniel Steelsoul) and use the last torn page on a book. Your Familiar gets pulled into the pages.
4. PREPARING TO ENTER THE BOOK WORLD
Report to Wyrdin. He'll apologize and explain you can rescue your Familiar by entering the book — but first you need your vocation-specific item (see Section 1 above).
Once prepared, report back to Wyrdin and he gives you a Magic Bookmark, which grants access to the Book World. Return to Edron Castle and use the book to enter.
5. CHAPTER I — MEETING QUILL
Inside the Book World, find and talk to NPC Quill. Your Familiar was kidnapped by Crusaders — half knight, half lion creatures. Their leader, Sir Leonard, holds your friend captive.
Quill explains you can use a Dip Pen to write things into existence on the parchment floor. Harvest a pen from parchment, fill it with ink from pools or fountains, then write on any blank space.
Get your mission from Quill, then use your Dip Pen with Ink on a blank space to create a Painted Torch. Use the torch on the stylized fire flower tile to burn a hole and proceed downstairs.
NOTE
The missions from Quill are done in different chapters depending on your vocation. If your vocation is not mentioned in a chapter, skip to the next one.
6. CHAPTER II — DRUID & PALADIN MISSIONS
This chapter contains Bramble Wyrmlings and Hawk Hoppers. Druids and Paladins complete their missions here:
DRUIDS

- Use Dip Pen with Ink on a blank space to create Painted Bandages
- Collect three Painted Healing Herbs from locations in the chapter area
- Combine herbs with bandages to create Saturated Painted Bandages
- Use the bandages on the white deer to obtain a Deer Fur Brush
PALADINS
Learn a special archery technique:
- Use Dip Pen with Ink on a blank space to create a Painted Bow
