 Valestis used to be in charge of the arboretum (level 4), but it has fallen apart. He'll ask you to find items that will let him restore it, but none is available in this chapter. Once you've gotten the astrolabe piece, head back down to the main room and go up to Solonar Tower thorough the southern ramp. Solonar Tower is filled with acolytes and priests. On the first level, you should talk to Denaini and get two quests: one to bring back holy water and the other to kill the inhabitants of level 4. After getting these quests, proceed to level 2 via the southwestern staircase. Level 2 contains several enemies and a couple of containers to plunder. Kill and pillage, then continue to level 3. On that level, you'll smite more enemies and find the third piece to the broken astrolabe hidden away in the northern container. Grab it and go to level 4, ready to smack down some more baddies. Level 4 consists of several small rooms, each with some enemies in it. In the southern room's container, you'll find some holy water, which you can return to Denaini on the level 1 of this tower for a reward. Also, be sure you've cleared out all the enemies in the tower before returning to Denaini. After talking to her (and returning the holy water as well as notifying her of the acolytes' newfound peace), return to level 4 in the main fortress. Next up is Sheverash Tower to the east. In Sheverash's first level, you'll encounter Kaylessa, former weapons master for the Severed Hand. She'll ask you to perform a similar task to that of Denaini: put her men out of their misery. Clear the four tower levels of enemies (level 4 is optional, as it contains wraith spiders rather than former elven soldiers), then return to Kaylessa. She'll ask you to do the same favor for her personally, so oblige her and hit her with everything you have. Once she's dead, loot her corpse for the final piece of the astrolabe. Now, you must go to Labelas Tower, accessible through a heavily guarded bridge on the west side of Sheverash Tower level 3. Once you're in Labelas Tower (you'll begin in level 2, since level 1 has been destroyed), you'll face enemies right away. Dispatch them, loot any containers (especially the one in the northwestern room containing the diary of Evayne), and proceed to level 3 through the southern staircase. Talk to the librarian Custhanatos on level 3 and retrieve that book on mythal magic that Orrick asked you for back in Kuldahar. Once you've accomplished this, go up to Larrel, the astrolabe, and level 4 through the southern stairs. First, talk to Gelarith and return the four astrolabe pieces to him; only then can you speak with Larrel and learn anything of value. Ask him about the heartstone gem and, after the cutscene, have him transport you back to Kuldahar. Once there, sell loot, restock on healing potions and missile weapons as usual, and see Orrick to get the experience (and item) reward for retrieving the mythal theory book. Congratulations! You've completed chapter three. It's on to Dorn's Deep and chapter four!
