Lore of Aranna – Dungeon Siege II Quest

This guide will walk you through the “Lore of Aranna” quest in Dungeon Siege II. We will go through all the steps to complete quest.

Background

Telgrey the Scholar will give you this quest when you talk to him in his apartment in Kalrathia (Kalrathia, #7).

Lore of Aranna

Telgrey, without much in the way of preamble, will ask you to find all 20 volumes of a set of books called the Lore of Aranna. Most of the books can be found in plain sight in places that you’re required to visit (towns, mostly), but a few are also associated with secondary quests (such as Amren’s Vision).

When you return to Telgrey after collecting the books, he’ll reward you with another book — The Mercenary and the Scholar (Book 34) — and the quest will appear to be over. But if you talk to Telgrey again, he’ll admit that the book he gave you was just a joke, and he’ll give you your true reward: a large collection of random objects, including a mysterious book. For more information on the book, see the quest entry for The Mysterious Quest.
