The Zealan gods

In the catacombs, enter the door beside the sign that says 'Towards fate do you travel" using the key of the scion (With the patch installed, this plaque will read "Moriens Birthplace"). Follow the cave around to five levers. Figure out the lever puzzle. It seems to change... Save your game first.

Unlock the doors to the north. Head up that way, and go east. The chest is trapped. Inside is the skull of quakes (usuable in the upper catacombs). Go back west and then north. Hidden just next to the wall on the east side is a pad that will open the gate. Go through, jump the chasm with water, and cast open ground before the grave.

Fall through. Head west and then north through the doorway. Head east. Move the skeleton on top of the raise pedestal to open the gate near the rolling spheres. Get both keys in this area and the jump over the light beam. Head east.

You will see a Tower of Hanoi problem in the form of stairs. (If you're having trouble figuring it out, visit your local library. The Tower of Hanoi is a classical problem in mathematics and computer science. Its also a favorite "brain teaser.") Then, climb the stairs and cast Rock Flesh to get past the lights.

If you'd prefer, you can skip the lights and the tower by using two golems to open a door just to the east, and a door north of that. Either way you end up before the door to the temple.

Unlock the big doors and enter the temple (pictured above). Get the key from under the skeleton. Go back and get the Zealan ceremonial shield near the grave you fell through (Not shown above). You can unlock all the doors now using the key you found. Return to the temple and place the shield on the platform. The Zealan deities will instruct you to recover an artifact from Khumash Ghor. Open the door to Khumash Ghor's tomb with Mythran's scroll.

Go inside, and cast Grant Peace to kill the ghost. Get the Obelisk Tip. Return and talk to the Zealans again. They'll explain about the Tip and how it can help you. Return to the surface. On the way, go south and east of the "Fate" door, to a place where a skeleton on an altar is covered by four square stones. Just west of that is a glowing red spot. Use the skull of quakes there, and go down to activate the teleport pad.
