Tips
Overview
This zone is an instance part of the new Kingdom of Skies expansion. It is located in the Barren Sky realm, and is located on the Isle of Awakening. Once at the correct isle’s cloud platform, you should be able to use your map to find the zone. You may be wondering, what so good about this zone? Loot and XP. This zone drops REALLY nice loot, including class hats. Also, the first time through, 10% AA XP can be expected, as well as 15% Adventure XP per run. This zone is an instance, so BEWARE: 8 HOUR LOCK OUT, but the zone doesn’t re pop.

The Quellithulian mobs inside this zone are hard to deal with. They have a Fear effect with their spells, that causes the target to run into agro. The healers need to be quick and cure the : TRUAMA, DISEASE, and ARCANE effects. Other than that, there is nothing special with the normal mobs, so onto the names.
The Arcane Librarian is a 66 ^^^ heroic, found on the first floor, in the back rooms. You need to burn him fast. Have your tank stay on him to whole time. As the battle progresses, he will call small mobs to assist him, just taunt and continue to kill the librarian.
After the librarian is dead, kill the adds, and head back to the room with a teleported in the middle, it should now have beams of blue light streaming through it. Clear the adds around it, and wait for The Messenger of El’Arad to spawn.
The Messenger of El’Arad is 67^^^ heroic, and it AUTOMATICALLY attacks the group, after saying a few pointless words. Nothing special with this named, so just kill it.
After he is dead, hop into the portal, BUT DO NOT MOVE INSIDE THE PORTAL. You will be jumped to the next floor. This floor is once again, just clearing, Nothing special here. After everything is done, use the portals to go up, BUT DO NOT MOVE WHILE TRANSPORTING.
On the final floor, choose a corner and pull to it. Do not pull at the big hole, as the mobs fear… If you need to clear to the corner you chose, kill Droags, not Quellithulian mobs. Continue to clear the floor, and head into the corridor and kill.
Korgo the Vault Keeper is a 70 ^^^ heroic Droag. He has no special effect in terms of attacks, but he has an Ace up his sleeve. At 25% health, he does a full health regen. 100%. So make sure you save your power. Not a hard named, if someone should happen to die, root it, and just come back… After you kill him, your done, congrats!
Loot
The named mobs in here can be very generous, but also stingy.
The Arcane Librarian
Drops: http://eq2.ogaming.com/db/items/StaffoftheLoreKeeper.php
Only loot worth mentioning, everything else is either rares, masters, or trash.
The Messenger of El’ Arad
Nothing worth mentioning, a nimbus root here, a master there
Korgo the Vault Keeper
This is the man you want to kill, he is the one that has the loot.
He drops a nice secondary piece for mages, as well as the class hats. Sorry I don’t have links for all the hats, just the ones from ogaming:

*There have been no sightings of a warrior / shaman hat.
Tips
Many people do not know this, but there is a very helpful tool to overcome getting feared. When running this zone, have the ENTIRE group run through crouching (x) and walking (shift r). This way if they are feared, they will not get very far.
