There are two ways to begin the epic, you can:

1) Hail Historian Sharar (found in on of the libraries in front of the Palace in Shar Vahl).

2) Skip right to the Copper Medal of War (part 3). 

If Historian Sharar will not talk to you due to your level, simply skip the first two parts of the epic.

 

1.  Hail Historian Sharar

She is located in one of the libraries outside of the Palace in Shar Vahl.  Follow the quest text prompts.  She will mention something about the Khati Sha being disturbed about the spiritual realm, and will give you a book to bring to Elder Animist Dumul. 

 

2. Bring Book to Elder Animist Dumul

He is found in the Beastlord guild in Shar Vahl, inside the Palace.  Give him the book and he will ask you how much you know.  State to him, "I know the Khati Sha are disturbed about the spiritual realm."  He asks you to further prove your worthiness by helping the Scouts in Grimling Forest, and to return to him a Copper Medal of War when you are finished.

 

3. Copper Medal of War

Go to Grimling Forest (if you zone in from Hollowshade Moor the outpost is directly in front of you) and go to the Vah Shir outpost.  Standing in front of the Bank should be Scout Husman. If he dies his respawn time is 10 minutes, if he is not up after 10 minutes it is a bug, and please report it.

 

In one of the other buildings in the fort there is a merchant who sells Polished Acrylia Spheres cost about 65-75 pp each.  Buy one and when you are ready to begin the raid on the Grimling camp (buffed and have everyone you need ready), hand it to Scout Husman. 

 

When you hand Scout Husman the sphere, he will pause for a minute or so, then start walking.  Follow him to the Grimling camp across the bridge from the fort, there waves of 4 to 6 Grimlings will attack him.  Your job is to keep Scout Husman alive during these attacks until the Grimling Officer spawns.  Kill the Grimling Officer to receive his Scalp.  Turn his Scalp in to Scout Husman to receive the Copper Medal of War.  If Scout Husman dies, or you otherwise fail at this part, simply buy another Polished Acrylia Sphere and wait ten minutes for Scout Husman to pop again, then try it again. 

 

Things you should know:

*You will need about one full group of people about level 45 or two to three people in the 50's.  Some Beastlords about level 55 have solo'd this part, but it can be overwhelming for one person.

*The Grimling Officer can not be Mesmerized.

*Scout Husman has low hitpoints, and can not be healed, buffed, or tampered with in any way. 

*At level 45 most of the Grimlings conned green, but the Grimling Officer is slightly harder and conned light blue.

*The Grimling Officer can also drop a Crude Fur Bandolier (it's like a quiver, only for throwing weapons, not bad for a Monk or Beastlord if you use throwing weapons and is no drop), and sometimes some weapons that are no drop and used in a quest for Grimling Bane weapons.  I suggest allowing someone of the appropriate class to loot these, as an added bonus for helping you. 

 

Once you have received the Copper Medal of War, return it to Elder Animist Dumul in the Beastlord guild in Shar Vahl.  He will hand you an Official Seal of the Khati Sha and a six-slot container called a Carved Wooden Crate.  He then states some quest text (simply follow the prompts) giving you some background story on what it is that is bothering the Khati Sha and the spiritual realm. 

 

4. The Six Spirit Fights

This part can be done in any order.  You must find each Scout in the zones listed below and hand him the Official Seal of the Khati Sha, this will immediately spawn the Spirit which you need to kill in order to receive your totem.  Hand in the totem immediately after you loot it to the Scout, and he will return to you the Official Seal of the Khati Sha and the Wrapped Totem.  If the Scout you are looking for is not up, they are reported to have a 36-72 hour respawn or a six day respawn time.
