We spoke to a Black Ring spirit. He said that the Ancestor Tree supposedly knows the name of a powerful arch-demon.
Kill Black Ring members at The Ancestor Tree, loot A Mysterious Letter and read it.
We found a letter with details of the Black Ring's activity on Bloodmoon Island. It seems that they want to prise secrets from a particular tree, and have been ordered to risk passage to the Deathfog-shrouded island in order to acquire them.
Talk to Spirit of an Elven Pilgrim.
We learned that there is an Archive somewhere on the island that likely contains details on how to communicate with the Ancestor Tree. The Archives were kept hidden by the religious order that once called this blighted place their home.
Talk to Spirit of Brother Kaylan.
We discovered the location of the Archive.
Find the entrance To the Archive. It's hidden, you need 22 Wits.
We found the entrance to the Archive.
Read Archivist's Journal.
We discovered the truth about the Ancestor Tree - how it was once an elf called Eleanessa, who was possessed by a demonic force. A doctor known as Daeva brought her to the island in an effort to save her - he carried out an exorcism against the wishes of his colleagues, which ultimately freed the demon from Eleanessa, killing her in the process. The demon then devastated the island. What came of Daeva is unknown. We should keep this information in mind.
Read Black Ring Instructions. You will find them in the corpse of dead Black Ring member.
I learned how the Black Ring attempted to get past the Death Fog that surrounds Bloodmoon Island.
Talk to Spirit of a Black Ring Reaver.
We learned that the Black Ring forces were intent on finding a druid who could help them complete their task on the island.
Talk to The Advocate (Ancient Tree).
We spoke to the Advocate - he told us to leave the island. It seemed as though he was hiding something.
We tried to speak to the Ancestor Tree, but its replies were gibberish. We need to find out how to communicate with it.
The Advocate and his minions attacked us for trying to speak to the Ancestor Tree.
Talk to The Ancestor Tree after you've read the Archivist's Journal.
We woke the Ancestor Tree's spirit, Eleanessa, from her nightmare. She told us the name of the arch-demon that had possessed her: Adramahlikh. According to her, the arch-demon took the form of a doctor, and left the island. This must be Daeva - the one who tried to save her, and subsequently vanished. Eleanessa has asked us to find and kill Adramahlikh, if we even happen to cross its path.
We told Jahan the name of the arch-demon - Adramahlikh. We also told him that we believe that it currently possesses a certain Doctor Daeva. Jahan believes that the arch-demon can be found in Arx.
We left Reaper's Coast with investigating the Ancestor Tree on Bloodmoon Island any further.
We have departed from Reaper's Coast. Perhaps we will be presented with an opportunity to deal with this arch-demon, Adramahlikh, at a later stage in our journey.
Go to Arx.
Now that we have escaped from the Nameless Isle, we may have an opportunity to seek out Adramahlikh.
We have continued on our quest without dealing with the arch-demon.
Talk to Malady.
We have found the arch-demon Adramahlikh, also known as Doctor Daeva. We ought to kill him.
Kill The Doctor (lvl 20).
We killed the arch-demon. The Ancestor Tree ought to be at peace now.
Leave the Doctor's house. Elven Apparition will appear and thank you. You will receive Ghostly Morningstar.
We received the thanks of Eleanessa, the Ancestor Tree.
We ventured onwards, without learning if Eleanessa was now at peace.
