On your way to the tower, you are joined by Goragik. She appears as mysteriously as she always does, strangely out of thin air, seeming to come from nowhere to meet you. She fumes, angry at Lakaast's stubbornness. 'I cannot seem to make the fool Xagash see common sense,' she complains. 'It is as if he expects you to die the instant you set foot in the tower.'

'Tell me about the Nadziranim in the tower itself,' you query, seeing if you can draw any additional information from her than she has already let on.

'They stand outside the council,' she begins. 'Never joining or consulting with the other Nadziranim on any of their matters, and as such have been banished from Helgedad proper to spend their time in the Tower. Occasionally they appear, but always under the approval of one of the Xagash generals of the city, and never without such a guide present. They hold to themselves, as if guarding an ancient secret, one which only they are privileged to bear. An uneasy peace has existed between the two sects of Nadziranim ever since construction of the tower, and many rumor it was at their behest it was built in the first place. If they could be joined to our cause, Helgedad would be at last completely united against its foes for the first time in a millennia. As it is, they alone seem to stand against total unification, a small sect of sorcerers who seem to enjoy their independence and solitude.'

She stops suddenly, her irate tone coming to a halt, for you have arrived at the black tower. With a deep breath you ready yourself to enter.

If you bear the Badge of Rank, open the main doors and enter by turning to 18.

If you do not bear this special item, whether you teleport in or enter by the main doors, turn to 38.
