The Midnight Oil Divinity: Original Sin 2 Quest

We have learned that the Magisters laid traps that block safe passage through the caverns of the Blackpits. They themselves have to rely upon a guide in order to get past their own traps safely, so we should exercise particular caution while entering the caverns.

We have reached a cavern that is protected by an array of Magister-set traps. We should try to find a way to continue - no doubt something important is happening down here.

There is a strong Magister presence in the caverns beneath the Blackpits. They're after something, it seems.

We learned that the Magisters have been under pressure from Dallis to pick up the pace of their activities in the caverns.

We learned that the Magisters uncovered something that they referred to as 'The Aeteran'. They seems to be in a hurry to send it to Dallis, that can't be a good thing.

It seems there have been strange events unfolding at the excavation site - inexplicable visions and sensations have assailed those working down here, unnerving them. Just what kind of power is at work down here...?

We found a strange tablet covered in runes. When we touched it, we experienced a sensation of being in a dark, endless void. A voice called out 'Godwoken' to us. What was that place...?

We came a across an odd, rune-inscribed tablet them seemed to glow from within. When we touched it, we felt tremendous energy flow through us. Somehow, we knew that the inscriptions were ancient Rivellonian. A phrase came to our mind's eye - 'One must rise'. Then, the sensation passed. Clearly an ancient power lingers here.

We learned from a Magister spirit that Dallis and Vredeman are looking for a powerful object called 'The Aeteran'. This supposedly has an infinite ability to take Source from anything and anyone.

We learned from a Magister spirit that Vredeman oversaw the excavation in order to find a powerful object called 'The Aeteran'. Dallis seemingly had plans to use this artefact against Sourcerers.

A Black Ring prisoner told us that the Magisters were looking for some ancient relics down in the nearby caverns.

A Black Ring prisoner told us that Dallis was looking for some sort of powerful object called 'The Aeteran'.

We found an ancient temple of sorts, in the deepest part of the Blackpits caverns.

The temple appears to be protected by some form of magical barrier. Perhaps we can find a way to tamper with it.

We opened a sarcophagus, freeing a strange, ancient being that called itself an Eternal. She seemed to be quite dismayed to lay eyes on us, as we bear the likeness of 'the Seven lords'. The being noted that our gods must have won their conflict with her kind after they sealed her in this place, and remarked that we, their creations, seem to be little more than 'Source Vats'. Just what is this 'Eternal'? And what does she mean...?

We found an ancient tablet deep beneath the Blackpits. It seemed to bear pictographs of how to construct some sort of scythe. An odd thing to keep down here - perhaps it's more important than it looks.

We departed from Reaper's Coast without investigating the caverns beneath the Blackpits.
