When
you first enter Blackcrag Fortress you'll find yourself in a small
storage room with a bunch of crates and barrels, and a man standing
against the northern wall. Speak to the man, being sure not to threaten
him, and he'll give you information about where you can find Empress
Prazac and tell you that the items in this room and the one to the
south are for you.
Leave the room and enter the room just
across the hall to the west. You'll find Howar standing in here. Howar
sells alchemical recipes, and he also possesses the Grimoire of Then,
which he'll give you once you've spoken to Shane about it.
To the south of Howar is Petrie. Petrie will give you a quest to bring
her a Golem Diadem. For every Golem Diadem you bring you'll receive a
pair of Boots of Speed and 250 Experience. I'm not sure if it's a bug
that lets you get this quest numerous times, but it's a nice way to get
the boots for each of your party members, and of course, the experience
is always nice as well. Petrie also sells some Mage spells.
Slightly to the south and east of Petrie is Shane. Ask him about the
Grimoire of Then and he'll tell you that he thinks the alchemist has a
copy. This is Howar, so go and ask him about it to receive the book for
Cerulean of Moon's quest. Shane sells a few items, is an unlimited
items reseller and also identifies items.
The door leading south just to the west of Shane leads into the kitchen
and dining area of Blackcrag Fortress. If you frighten the woman in
here she'll tell you take anything you want, but since you can just
pick it up anyway I just avoid talking to her altogether.
There's a secret passage in the southwest corner of the room which
leads to a small area outside the walls. Head south down here and
you'll be ambushed by some Empire troops that aren't too happy about
the Empress agreeing to speak to you. When you get close to the end of
the passage start checking the western wall for another secret passage.
This secret passage puts you in a room with a bunch of statues and a
door leading north. Go through the door and you'll find yourself in the
antechamber to the throne room. There's a storage room which is empty
to the south, and the library is to the west. Enter the library and go
to the southwestern corner. Read the book to learn Cloud of Blades Lv.3.
Now enter the storage room and check out the southern section of the
western wall for another secret passage. This leads to a short passage
going north/south, with several force barriers blocking it. Use Dispel
Barrier Lv.2 or a Piercing Crystal to get through the barriers and
check the western wall for a secret passage near the northern end.
This takes you into a small forge, which is run by Winn. She sells
weapons, and also provides item augmentation for 5000 coins. Once
you're done head back to the room with the statues.
There's a storage room which is empty to the south, and the library is
to the west. Enter the library and go to the southwestern corner. Read
the book to learn Cloud of Blades Lv.3.
Now head back into the main room and speak to the person standing near
the door. This is Vladimir and you need his permission to speak to
Empress Prazac. Just talk to him for a bit and he'll let you through.
The last room is the throne room, which contains Empress Prazac. Talk
to her a little bit, and she'll eventually give you a quest to take a
message to Anaximander in Fort Emergence. Accept the quest and, once
you've completed it, you'll get permission to enter Footracer Province
from the Empress.
