Quick reference by Brong - Terris-Thule
(info gathered from shadowknight.org. Dont thank me for this, I just made it as a quick reference for myself. The true Props should go to the info gatherers listed at end of page)
If you do NOT have epic 1.0 Inny's Curse, then you will need to do the following Pre-Epic section. (If you do have epic 1, then you can skip to Beginning. It HAS to be in your inv or wielding upon hailing.) ---Note---

Pre - Epic Steps (non epic1.0)
It begins with Ritald in Dulak's Harbor.
You say, 'Hail Ritald'. (***See Map***)
Ritald says 'Greetings, dark one. Do you feel it? I am sure you do. Innoruuk's voice is so distant now. His voice is merely a whisper. This disturbs me greatly. How will the evil ones do their master's bidding without his dark guidance? I fear the end is almost near for true champions of darkness such as yourself. We cannot let that happen! I believe I know of a way to slow down the diminishing of our master's voice. There is a sword of great evil. It is however not of this world. I believe I can summon it to this plane of existence, but I will need several items first. Will you [take on this task]? Your future and the future of all our dark brethren depends on obtaining this sword!'
Say, 'i will take on this task'
Ritald says 'Excellent. There is no time to waste. The first item I need is an ancient flamberge of hatred. I believe a trollish pirate named, Captain Varns, here in Dulak's Harbor is in possession of one. Destroy him and return this item to me. The second item is an essence of hate. You should be able to find such an essence in the Plane of Hate. The last item I need is a stormborn phylactery. You should be able to find one in the Plane of Storms. When you have all these items, hand them to me so that I may begin the summoning of the sword.'
The items he seeks are:
Ancient Flamberge of Hate - From Captain Varns in Dulak's Harbor (AOE slow, slow casting, 500DD ****Update!!! Patch made this guy TOUGH hits for 1900's reported, combined with is AOE hes nasty!****)((***See Map***))
Essence of Hate - Overlord R' Gahbsa in the Plane of Hate or Mistress of Malevolience (***See Map***)
Stormborn Phylatercy - Olidan in the Plane of Storms (1600 hitting Ocean giant, rampages but slowable.)((***See Map***))
Return these 3 items to Ritald and receive :Innoruuk's Voice Ritald says 'You have done well. The flamberge you have brought to me will act as a vessel for the summoning of the sword. The essence of hate will help generate hatred needed to fuel the summoning, and the phylactery should hopefully help contain that hate to be used in the summoning.' Ritald holds the flamberge above his head with both hands and begins to chant. Dark storm clouds gather overhead as a flash of lightning momentarily blinds you. When you regain your sight, Ritald holds the summoned sword of Innoruuk's Voice. 'I [have done it]!''
Say, 'have done it'
Ritald says 'This sword known as Innoruuk's Voice emanates great evil. It should help to generate enough evil to sustain the mysterious powers that make one a shadowknight. It is not at full power yet however. I am now trusting you to take this sword and help to recover its full power. You will be its new champion. Take it to Sieen Kastane in the Plane of Knowledge. I believe she should be able to help you with returning the sword to its full power.'
...On to Beginning...
________________________________________
Beginning
Plane of Knowledge, find Sienn Kastane. ((***See Map***)) (evil part of town, building between Neriak and Oggok stones)
Hail Sienn Kastane
(She will only talk to you IF you have either epic1, or the sword mentioned above in pre-epic)
Sienn Kastane says 'You. You are the one I have seen in my visions.' Sienn removes a dark blade from a scabbard. I have just obtained this sword from one of my apprentices. This blade may be the key to the very existence of the shadowknight. Are you familiar with what has [been transpiring]?'
You say, 'What has been transpiring?'
Sienn Kastane places her hands upon your forehead. A gravelly voice that is clearly not Sienn's fills your mind. 'Do you feel it? I am sure you do. Innoruuk's voice is so distant now. His voice is merely a whisper. This disturbs me greatly. How will the evil ones do their master's bidding without his dark guidance? I fear the end is almost near for true champions of darkness such as yourself. We cannot let that happen! I believe I know of a way to slow down the diminishing of our master's voice. There is a sword of great evil. It is however not of this world. I believe I can summon it to this plane of existence, but I will need several [items] first. . .' The voice ends. 'That was the voice of [Ritald], a luggald in the service of the dark lord, Innoruuk.
You say, 'What items?'
Sienn Kastane says 'Your first task is to find a tome. The sword has told me of a tome that details its history. I do not know where this tome might be, but I suggest you talk to Grand Librarian Maelin here in the Plane of Knowledge. He may have more information on this tome. When you find it, return it to me.'
________________________________________
The Egg for a Tome
Find Grand Librarian Maelin' ((***See Map***)) (top of Library in Plane of Knowledge)
You say, 'What tome'
Grand Librarian Maelin says 'Yes, I seem to recall having such a tome. But evil it is. I don't hand out such dangerous knowledge to just anyone. However. . . I am curious about something and perhaps you can help me. A prominent professor of biology and I have a bet as to how a certain creature from the Realm of Discord, known as a murkglider breeds. He believes they give live birth, and I believe they are egg layers. Unfortunately, I have been so busy here, that I have not been able to make arrangements to travel there and observe the creatures more. If you could travel to the Realm of Discord and [find an egg] for me, I will give you the book you seek.'
You say, 'find an egg?'
Grand Librarian Maelin says 'I appreciate your help with this! The creature I was supposed to study are most commonly known as murkgliders. The easiest way to describe them is that they look like large, floating octopuses. See if you can hunt down any breeding murkgliders and return an egg to me that I can study. You might want to bring some companions along, as this might be a dangerous task.'
Your precious egg is located off of "Murkglider Breeder" in Ruins of Dranik. ((***See Map***)) SW corner of the map, where 2 circular rooms are joined by hallways cutting through a mountain. The location for one of the rooms is -730, 870.
She will spawn babies (lvl66) when you attack, you should be able to evac then come back to single pull her if you do it with 1 group.
She should drop "Gelatinous Murkglider Egg"
Return the egg to Grand Librarian Maelin in PoK.
Grand Librarian Maelin says 'I knew they were egg-layers! Ha, this is one gnome who hates losing a bet and thanks to you I wont! This is the tome you seek. Please bring it back to me when you are done.'

The Sheath
Take the tome back to Sienn Kastane ((***See Map***))
Sienn Kastane says "You have done well in aquiring this tome.' Sienn opens the tome and begins to read. 'It says that a sheath must be created to protect the sword. Unfortunatly the instructions for making this sheath are a bit unclear. The only clues given to the items needed are, to gather a dark hide of a creature unmatched in its bleakness, a holy lock of hair from a fair creature unmatched in happiness, and a gem possessing the very essence of fear itself, held by a creature more fearsome. If you find these three items, combine them in a sewing kit and then hand the sheath to me. I await your return."
The 3 items are,
1. Lock of blessed Unicorn Hair((***See Map***)) ( PoG drop from A rolling plains steed)
2. Eye of the Dark God ((***See Map***))( Pofear amy drop)
3. Gloom Nightmare Hide ((***See Map***))( PoN drop of Gloom Nightmare horses at the platform)
Combine the 3 items in a sewing kit to create the sheath. (UPDATE: Trivial at 100 tailoring - Wont let you attempt combine below trivial level)
________________________________________
No more Frogs (aka a trolls revenge)
Return the Sheath to Sienn Kastane ((***See Map***))
Sienn Kastane says, "I admit that I did not think you could accomplish this task. Perhaps you really are meant to be the sword's champion. Our work here is not done however. There are those that wish the sword to be destroyed. One of these beings is a froglok paladin named Fraga. He was last seen in the Plane of Valor. Kill him and bring me any clues as to what his plans may be."
Fraga is located in one of the tents in Valor. ((***See Map***)) (Quad 2850 max. Immune to snare/root.)
Loot Fraga's Parchment and return it to Sienn
________________________________________
Blood and Rune
Return the Parchment to Sienn Kastane ((***See Map***))
Sienn Kastane begins to read the parchment. A worried look plays across her face. ‘The weapon is not safe. The forces of good strongly wish to have it destroyed. To make matters worse, the sword is emanating hate that can be felt by powerful beings, both good and evil, across all planes of existence. As it stands right now, I wouldn’t be surprised if the forces of good are converging to have the sword destroyed and the forces of evil are conniving to take the sword for themselves. It is only a matter of time before they locate the sword and come for it themselves. I have been studying the tome while you were gone. The tome describes a way to [mask the sword’s presence].’
You say, Mask the sword’s presence.
Sienn Kastane says, “In the Plane of Nightmare, there dwells a banshee known as the Wailing Sister. In her possession is a rune of great power. The sword’s hatred has awoken from a deep slumber. The rune however is only part of what will be needed to help mask’s the sword’s hatred. The rune is inactive until combined with the Wailing Sister’s blood. Recover the rune and a sample of her blood and return them to me.â€ÂÂÂ
Locate The Wailing Sister. Ponightmare, (Max hit 920, ae cloud of fear). ((***See Map***)) (map loc could be off)
Loot Wailing Rune and Wailing Sister's Blood.
Return the Rune and Blood to Sienn Kastane. ((***See Map***))
Sienn Kastane purs the blood on the rune. The rune begins to glow a bright red color and a horrifying wail fills your ears. ‘The runes has been activated.’ Sienn holds the rune against the sheath you created earlier. The rune instantaneously melts into the sheath. ‘The sword is safe for now, but I think it should be moved just in case. Do not lose the sheathed sword. If you do lose it somehow, come back to me and tell me you lost it and I will attempt to make you another one. I only have enough left of the items you brought me to make you one more though. Now, take the sword to a servant of mine, named Gilina Yilzior, here in the Plane of Knowledge. She is very knowledgeable and should be able to help you further.
You receive the Sheathed Innoruuk’s Voice.

Gilina Yilzior looks at you with a cold stare. ‘The time has come. I have heard the dark blade’s whispers. It wants to find a master, but before that can become a reality, a test must be passed. There are four other shadowknights who wish to become the sword’s wielder. If you are up for the challenge, then seek out Silithis Sisnta in the Timorous Deep, Gubblegrot Smashfist in the Ocean of Tears, Skurza Slicekutt in the Swamp of No Hope, and Giligattabus Igglebix in Iceclad. Return their heads to me and we shall see if the sword is satisfied with your progress.

Paladin Blood
Hand Gilina the 4 heads of the slain ShadowKnights.((***See Map***))
Gilina Yilzior says, ‘I can sense that the sword is pleased with your progress. However there is another task it wishes you to perform. I have learned through a contact of mine, that there is to be a ceremony in Kithicor Woods. Several paladins will be converging there to try to cleanse the undead from the forest, once and for all. The blade thirsts for the blood of these paladins. Before the blade will allow you to become it’s champion, you must kill as many of these paladins as you can, and bring me three samples of their blood. Take the Sheathed Innoruuk’s Voice back and when you have three samples of paladin’s blood, hand them to me along with the Sheathed Innoruuk’s Voice so that I may perform the ceremony to sate the blade’s thirst. Go now and find my contact in Kithicor. His name is Tarnamil. Take the sword back for safe keeping.’
You receive Sheathed Innoruuk’s Voice.
Head to Kithicor and locate Tarnamil.((***See Map***))
You say, Hail, Tarnamil.
Tarnamil says, ‘The paladins are coming from the west, my lord. The come to destroy the dead that walk at night. Already, the undead generals plot their demise, but they are powerful. They approach soon. I am getting out of here.’
At this point, 6 paladins spawn to the west of you, buff a little, and walk towards Tarnamils spawn, and sit down in a ring. I pet pulled three, they all dropped blood for my single party. Max hit somewhere in the 800s.
You have looted Sample of Paladin’s Blood.
(Kill enough Paladins to collect 3 bloods)
Return to Gilina in Plane of Knowledge

Templar Fight
Gilina Yilzior says, ‘Well done.’ Gilina takes the blood samples starts to pour them onto the blade of Innoruuk’s Voice. The blade appears to become super-heated as the blood drops trickle down its surface. A thick black smoke begins to waft from the blade. ‘The blade is now complete. Before I give the blade to you there is something else you must do. A mighty templar named, Sir Elmonious Falmont has heard of your crimes against the paladins and seeks revenge. It is important that we let none get in the way of our goals. As we speak, he is making his way from the Western Wastes in the continent of Velious to kill us. Destroy him and return his holy symbol to me.
