This quest [3237] is called 'The Mark of Hecatomb', for Adventurers levels 241 to 241. This is a TUTORIAL. It provides no rewards, but teaches you about Alyria. Thillius Llo'traz was once an esteemed destructomancer, a star graduate of the K'yh Center. As those with such proclivities do, he ended up destructing more than he could chew, and when a furious balrog took his life, he ended up a shade, deprived of the peace of death. Characteristically, this sequence of events enraged Thillius, and characteristically, for all the wrong reasons. He never worshiped Death, and sees no appeal in surrendering to it. Nor does he wish ill upon his antagonist- the balrog's actions were justifiable, and what Thillius would've done in his position. No, Thillius' primary regret is his inability to continue honing his destructomantic arts, and the tingle of satisfaction when a particularly devious plan comes to fruition. Should you wish to continue Thillius' trajectory and enact his next big plan, it will involve putting an end to symbols of hope- specifically the angel of purity, the angel of sanity, a dream of better days, and the archangel of vengeance. Tutorial quests do not grant rewards.
