First step is to visit another orc, Old Master Kakaru, out in the The Pillars of Flame at 1261, -107, -373 . He's non aggro NPC. Take carpet to Giant's Field, head northeast along the wall, you will spot his camp between the roaming giants and the Raptor area. If you get to raptors from carpet drop off you've gone too far.
He sends you to kill Thauz the Exiled, who can be found in northwest Pillars of Flame, on the mainland south of the Char'Gin island at 1448, -96, -1214 . Take a group with you this Orc has a nasty opening AoE melee. If I were to guess his class he's a 'zerker. His camp is atop the rock formation there, ramp up to it is on the west side of mountain. Return to Master Kakaru for next step.
After that you are sent to The Living Tombs for a tablet update. This is a clicky, and is found in the Priestess Room. Easiest way to describe it is, looking forward, jump down from aqueduct into pool, make a 90 degree left turn, step out of pool, make another 90 degree left turn, tablet will be up against base of the support pillar for the above structures at -282, -9, 174 . Again return to Master Kakaru.
1 indium infused stone, a drop off of any of the Sandcrawler Goblins in Pillars of Flame or Sinking Sands
If you have any of the items in your inventory when you get to this step, it will automatically update for you
Note: This part of the quest is buggy. Disband before you hail him if you are working this quest in a group.
After you finish gathering all the items, Old Master Kakaru gives you a Spirit Vessel. He then sends you to pirates perch in The Sinking Sands to find the burial mound of Nukhatam where you must bind his spirit to the Spirit Vessel. This is found at -2077, -152, 5 . The Spirit of Nukhatam will spawn, he is a level 55 ^^^ Heroic Mob. Kill him.
Return to Old Master Kakaru one last time. He will give you the completed set of tablets. Examine the bound spirit vessel (in your inventory) and the quest will complete.
...thought the new comments popped at the bottom of the thread. :)
Tried returning to Kakaru with the war tokens I took off the orcs in POF, no go. Must be similar to the trade-back-and-forth thingy, you get updated for the quantity in the quest journal but they only count if they're the "right ones" (presumably from the clefts orcs).
I'm getting updates from orcs in Pillars of Flame for the steelslave war tokens. The ones just before you enter the clefts (are there any others in POF)?
Directions to the Tablet are right on once you're in the Priestess court. Priestess Court is the third court from the entrance. Check out info on Living tombs for more details.
War Totems: Random drop off pretty much any orc in Cleft's. No need to go up to the higher level areas, just slaughter on the ground floor, Mess Hall or whatever it's called is best due to the large number of even and single/double down arrow mobs.
Indium Infused Stone: is what's required in place of Indium Cluster. These are random drops off any sandscrawler goblin. again find somewhere you can slaughter them till you get the drop. They do drop in SS if you happen to find yourself there rather than PoF.
Confirmed that you don't need to be able to harvest the roots yourself, can have them given to you. Can't confirm whether or not you need to have the required number in inventory or not.
I am surprised that nobody was really concerned saying about how to get those war totems or may be I am having the worst luck ever? I found it the most difficult comparing to other two conditions (I've got cluster update from the 2nd killed goblin I think).
So you don't get actully war totems plainly "dropped off mobs in Clefts of Rujark". There is a specific mob for that called "A Steelslave Vanquisher". Quests states that.
I found the best place to kill those at the War Room which is on the 2nd floor. There are 53^^^ stationary versions but also 53^^ which wonder around. All mobs are very social there so if they are not grey to you then only bodily pull.
One war totem I got directly from the named in the same room - Rakurjahl the Warbringer but 2nd time he spawned he didn't drop totem.
I wrote the whole story here because this drop is not ultra easy one. I had to kill like 20 vanquishers and a named to get all 5 war totems. Be ready for some timesink.
Cheers
EDIT: I've got the confirmation that Gorakhul the Annihilator drops war totem also

Quest may say that, but our drop data shows that the totems can drop on any Orc in the zone, trash and named.
As to the tablet in the Priestess' Court, this is not the area where you first zone in to Living Tombs. You need to jump down at the first drop, make a 180 to the wall, then turn right and enter the tunnel into the Residence area. Follow the main road through until you find an oily wall. Do the mini-quest there to burn the oil and climb up, then jump across to the aqueduct you can reach from that roof. Follow this tunnel, when it splits, go left. Now you're in an area much like the entrance to the zone. Jump down into the pool, and the tablet will basically be right behind you up against a pillar, just out of the water. There's a orc skull next to it.
On Thauz the Exiled. He is mean. Just did him last night with my 67 Ratonga Assassin. Here is how it went: I've got rougly close to 5k hps with pretty decent mitigation, and he was of course grey to me...55^^^ heroic. Snuck up on him with big Assassinate back stab..and then proceeded to chip away at him with dual wields. His regular fighting didnt do much damage to me. However, his AoE melee attack hit me twice..first time I dropped to half life...second time..with him in the red...he killed me. I went back...switched my offensive buff out for defensive buff..put on my shield and 1hs and went at him again. This time I did not have big back stab reset, and had to settle for my next largest bs. First hit dropped me into yellow...second hit dropped me to just a sliver of red, but by that time he was nearly dead as well...and as long as his big hit wasnt going off..I could evade most of the damage, so I won. But don't underestimate this sucker, even grey he packs a punch...and it still goes off even with just one person attacking. He is clearly the toughest fight of this quest.
You can trade the Steelslave War Totems back and forth for updates, but if you don't have 5 in your inventory when you attempt to finish that part, you cannot progress. Just figured I'd let everyone know so you don't waste your time.
Can anyone please tell me where to find the Tablet in Living Tombs? I tried following the instructions given here but I see now tablet. Is the Tablet suppose to be in the first cavern when you zone into Living Tombs?
I recently did this quest by myself and do have to say it is tough. The first guy you really need to have a healer with anti death shield. The first named does around 7k AoE I have heard so watch out. As for the giving the items part yes I recommend dispanding. You have to talk to the orc and wait a good minute or so then it will auto update with him saying the item is completed. The last part I did as a 58 warden and had help with a lvl 60 guardian. However to comment on the last part make sure you have 1 space free in your inventory. You will recieve 4 tablets from the blades master in 1 stack. You then examine the mystic orb with the sealed warrior and you get your reward.
me and a friend were doing quest and hailed the orc when we were grouped so far we have waited like 15 min and have not goten update yet what do we do?
The quest instructions are misleading about the Steelslave war totems. The quests says to get them from Steelslave Vanquishers - which are heroic mobs on the third floor. However - any mob can drop these in the Clefts - I got mine from watchers, cooks and the Watcher of Valor.
In addition to the comments of Cronus... Getting to the tablet in the Priestess' Court is a little bit easier as told. When you have left the tunnel and entered the Residents area, there is a climable wall directly in the beginning. After leaving the tunnel, keep right and follow the ledge of the building. Directly after the first turn you'll fing the climable wall. Climb up and take a left. The aquaduct is right in front of you (so no difficult mini-quests and dangerous jumps ;-))
The correct name for the last mob is "Spirit of Nukhatam". When you get to the loc shown here, click the skull to spawn the spirit. There's only one of them, not five, and it is indeed 55^^^. Easy enough kill.

ok the tablet is not in the curt you first zoneinto...its in the court where the 3rd priestess pops...do what the walk through says and you will be fine :P
I can not locate the tablet in the living tombs. I know it is behind the pool somewhere. Is it on or near the support columns or further from the pool then the columns. Is it on a rock wall, floor or what. It would be helpful to know what I am supposed to look for. I have been all over the area and cannot locate it. A loc would help.
Note: This part of the quest is buggy. Disband before you hail him if you are working this quest in a group.
