[edit] General Information
This task is given by Y`surria the Elder at location (375, -905) in the dragon glade of Crescent Reach.
| “ | You say, 'Hail, Y`ssuria the Elder'
Y`ssuria the Elder sighs with discontent and leans forward, whispering in a gruff tone, 'Have you ventured to Vergalid Mines and seen the swirling abyss? What you will find is an endless and hollow void. It holds nothing but emptiness. I have been there myself. I stared down that inky well and I can tell you that it echoes the feeling in my heart. This existence, this life, has no meaning without knowledge of the [sanctity] of the scale.' You say, 'Sanctity?' Y`ssuria the Elder says 'The scale is the most precious artifact in all of Norrath - it is a symbol of the god that birthed us and defines who we are. And yet a self-important imbecile holds access to it. I don't trust him, Lias. Is the artifact safe? Has it been damaged? Do we even know if it is still there? Ironically, for me [not knowing] is a fate far worse than any harm that may befall it. This uncertainty eats away at me.' You say, 'Not knowing?' Y`ssuria the Elder says 'Yes . . . While I cannot venture close to the Reliquary, perhaps you might be able to get a closer look.' | ” |

At this point you receive the task The Sanctity of the Scale
The task description in the Quest window is:
No dragonkin can venture into ashengate without the risk of coming under Dyn`Leth's control. In Y`ssuria's stead, you have been asked to travel to the heart of Ashengate Temple to ascertain the status of the Scale of Veeshan. You must stand on the precipice, view the Scale and then return to Y`ssuria with news of the legendary artifacts condition.
[edit] Task Objectives
| Objective Instructions | Status | Zone |
|---|---|---|
| Gaze Upon the Scale of Veeshan | 0/1 | Ashengate, Reliquary of the Scale |
| Speak with Y`surria the Elder | 0/1 | Crescent Reach |
[edit] Gaze Upon the Scale of Veeshan
To activate this update, travel into the north wing of Ashengate. At the far end of the north wing is a large open room with a pit of lava at the north side and a giant blue rock (that's the scale of Veeshan) hanging from the ceiling. You need to stand on the edge of the precipice in the center of this room. Remember this location because it's also needed for the next task. It is possible to levitate to this ledge from the sides and avoid aggro from the scalewatchers.
[edit] Speak with Y`surria the Elder
Head back to Crescent Reach where you received this task and hail Y`surria the Elder again.
At this point you complete the quest and...
Your faction standing with Infiltrators and Traitors of Ashengate got better.
| “ | Y`ssuria the Elder says 'Thank you, soandso. I do feel a bit better knowing that you have seen the great scale and that it is safe, but there are many more things that I do [not know] that have me worried.' | ” |

This allows you to receive the next task: The Agony of Uncertainty
