Flagging
This is a timed quest, you have to defeat four elemental masters within 60 minutes in order to stop Sor'jek's ritual. Activate a rune in the central room to get teleported to the area of the elemental masters.
 * 1) Talk to NPC Aurben, in the Marketplace next to Cydonie, and get the quest Refuge in the Storm. You have to be at least level 13 to do this.
 * 2) Then go to NPC Captain Agamon at the top of the Spire (in the Marketplace); he gets you to Siber Atoll. Jump down from the airship, swim down into the water and enter the crevice to enter the Reaver's Refuge town area.
 * 3) Find the Stormreaver in his Refuge and click on him to complete the Refuge in the Storm quest. He tells you that Sor'jek (formerly known as Tempest's Spine's boss and the Stormreaver's lieutenant) became a lich and must be defeated. Optionally, the Stormreaver can give you a fly buff to let you check around and more easily find Ternathear's Inner Lair in the east upper area of the town.
 * 4) Ternathear gives you a quest, The Essence of a Dragon, and asks you to collect gems found in the Exploration Zones. The gems drop out of rare encounter treasure chests in these zones. Once you get gems and turn them in, you never need to repeat this process. You only need any three of these six gems. (Additional gems may be sold.)
 * 5) Gems: - Aussircaex's Valley,  - Mount Reysalon,  - Soami Gardens,  - Ruins of Gianthold,  - Sands of Menechtarun,  - Orchard of the Macabre
 * 6) Obtain Dragonshard Essences from Enter the Kobold, Prey on the Hunter and Monastery of the Scorpion. Turn them in to Toriavic, an NPC next to Thear. A complete set of Essences is required each time you run the quest (reflagging).
 * 7) - Prey on the Hunter or 50 Draconic Runes traded to Vorace,  - Enter the Kobold or 25 Draconic Runes traded to Vorace,  - Monastery of the Scorpion or 25 Draconic Runes traded to Vorace
 * 8) After completing this quest once, you may purchase any Dragonshard Essence from the Vorace the Dragontouched Vendor in the crafting section in exchange for Draconic Runes

 * In the earth area, defeat 3 elders in the side chambers before proceeding north and facing Bhumi.
 * In the cold area, optionally pull the levers in the bottom to disable icy air jets, or run up a ramp through the jets to face Jala.
 * In the fire area, activate three runes to open way to Agni.
 * In the air area, pull a few levers as you run up some ramps, until you face Pavan.

After defeating each elemental master, there is a chest, a set of shrines, and a rune. Activate the rune to return to the central area.

As soon as you defeat the fourth your quest completes. Therefore, if you lose in optional fight with undead Sor'jek thereafter, you cannot re-enter the quest, as your quest is already completed and it requires re-flagging.

 * Spirit of Fernia creates Sor'jek's Ritual of Protection: Sor'jek is channeling a protective shield through his elemental spirit.
 * Spirit of Risia creates Sor'jek's Freezing Shield: Sor'jek is channeling freezing cold though his Risia spirit into a damaging shield.
