Overview
The War Wizard Walak tells you that Lolth has given an arcane Orb to Grulemith, one of her Demon Lords. This Orb is being used to capture and suppress the power of the Thread of the Weave, who is being held captive by Lolth's.
If this Orb were stolen, it would disrupt Lolth's schemes, and possibly help the Thread of the Weave escape. Go to the Domain of Lord Grulemith inside the Demonweb and obtain the Orb by any means necessary.
You may reach the Demonweb via Eveningstar Cavern.

Tips and Misc
- Don't forget to talk to Grulemith at the start or the quest will not complete until you go back and talk to him. You can jump off the side at the end as a shortcut to get back if you forgot.
- Puzzles for the test of wits are exactly the same as 3x3 Shroud puzzles.
- Puzzle solver - http://ddosource.com/ddo-puzzle-solver/shroud-puzzle-solver/
- The fourth Trial of Might is much harder than any of the others, so be prepared.
- There are lots places that are not intuitive to reach, with a lot of potential extra chests.
- The bug preventing Cho'ahz's chest from unlocking has been fixed. It now unlocks correctly after you kill him.
- There is a bug with Cixsir's chest - it only appears after his allies are slain, and he triggers it to be unlocked. Thus if you kill him before you kill his allies, it can not be unlocked. So be sure to kill the other Yugoloth near him before you kill him.
- Tsirrik's chest is locked with DC 61 on Hard.
- Reasonably easy to solo on epic normal and hard, on any class. Though it can take quite some time and resources to figure out for first timers as it is a huge quest with many optional paths and wrong turns.
- Chest near the end is roughly below the steps that lead to the orb and has a DC of ~85 Lvl 20 and 20/4 Hireling Rogue will open it eventually if you can manage to get them to it. 20/4 Rogue succeeds within a few attempts by using a GH clicky on him and activating his "showtime" ability on his hotbar.
- Hirelings don't like the web bridges, and can freeze up and become completely useless until you can get them to teleport to your position.
