I am still trying to get the updates from the defiled squires. I've probably killed 100 by now...

This quest is given by Scholar Demini in North Qeynos after you complete The Scholar's Search quest. See related quests for more information on the other quests in this chain.

The first thing you must do is use your trapping skill on Antonican nests to obtain an item.

Once you have done this you will need to search for an item on the following four types of mobs. You need one from each:

Feral Timber Wolves
Sabertooth Battlers
Young Kodiaks
Defiled Squires

After completing this task return to Scholar Demini to open up the Flight of the Sage quest, and receive your reward.

Having helped Scholar Demini several times in the past already, I've now agreed to help him find the Sage of Ages... or what's left of him.

Stage 1

Scholar Demini claimed that some of the bandits in grasslands of Antonica hide their treasures in the animal dens dotting the countryside. Perhaps I can find proof of what happened to the Sage of Ages in their lairs.

Start:	I need to harvest the Critter Dens in the area until I find some clue of the Sage's fate.
Complete:	I've found a ripped journal entry in one of the Critter Dens.

I found a ripped page in one of the dens, but nothing more. I can only assume it was left by either the scholar or the Sage himself. Perhaps one of these animals has eaten the other half of the page.

Stage 2

I should kill these vicious animals in the area in hopes of finding the other half of the ripped page. Perhaps some gnolls got to it first? I should try them, too.

Start:	I need to kill feral timber wolves in hopes of finding the ripped page.
Complete:	I've killed a number of feral timber wolves, but didn't find any ripped pages.

Start:	I need to kill young kodiaks in hopes of finding the ripped page.
Complete:	I've killed a number of young kodiaks, but didn't find any ripped pages.

Start:	I need to kill Sabertooth battlers in hopes of finding the ripped page.
Complete:	I've killed a number of Sabertooth battlers, but didn't find any ripped pages.

I didn't find any pages on the animals or gnolls, but I saw a number of claw marks on their bodies. Looking at the marks, the scratches look like they were caused by the undead.

Stage 3

If the ripped page still exists, then I'm certain it will be in the possession of the undead in the area.

Start:	I need to kill the defiled squires until I find the ripped page.
Complete:	I've found the ripped page.

I've found the ripped page. The combined page was penned by the Sage of Ages himself, and claims he escaped by claiming he was nothing more than an old man. The last part claims he was fleeing for the Thundering Steppes before the bandits figured out the truth.

Stage 4

I should bring these pages back to Demini for my reward that he promised me.

Start:	I need to speak to Demini in North Qeynos.
Complete:	I've spoken with Demini.

I've given the pages of the journal to Demini in exchange for a nice reward.

I didn't find the Sage of Ages, but was able to confirm that he wasn't killed by the bandits. His note made no mention of his scholar escort, however.
