Passive Fist

Eyebeasts out of sight in the darkness *shakes fist*

I learned the password. I bribed the dragon. I entered a room that asked me to perform a ritual, and when I couldn't, told me I would suffer. Can I learn the ritual at all, or am I destined to suffer?

Ah well I foolishly picked up that book and my autosave is literally one step afterward Any cheating I can do to get the trait instead, or should I just go train a level of arcane lore?

I have to bump this thread to ask about something related to Arcane Lore. What's Drath's Knowledge, mentioned in the first post? I defeated Drath (didn't let him escape) and looted his room but didn't get any object called that. Is it a Trait you earn? Some secret I didn't find? Please help.

I'm trying to learn to dispel barriers by doing this quest. I went across the river from Dranlon and killed all the slith at their village, but didn't find the book Mairwen was looking for. Is it somewhere else? Or am I looking in the wrong place entirely?
