 * overview=A curious looking tree stump has led you into the eladrin stronghold. Why have the eladrin set up a base of operations in this part of the Vale? Explore the stronghold to find out why and seek out additional information about the missing Twelve members.
 * This is a walk-up quest, automatically bestowed by reaching the Eladrin Stronghold. The reward NPC (Grechin Nalberto) is located in Meridia - in the tavern at the top of the central temple.

 * traps=None
 * misc=
 * To complete the optional, slay Nosrat. The portal closes upon death.
 * Instant death works well here, but be forewarned that Ghaele Cleric Eladrin will cast Death Ward upon themselves, and its nearby allies.
 * The enemy types featured in this quest are Chaotic Outsiders extraplanars and subject to Banishing weapons.
 * Bralani Eladrin are vulnerable to Cold Iron. They are also Good-aligned, making any weapons with Good-alignment ineffective.
 * Target Clerics first, as they have the ability to heal their nearby allies.
 * One useful tactic for the end fight is to have one party member climb the stairs and talk to Tolarn, while the others wait off to the right hand side beyond the stairs. Two of the orange-named devil party will spawn here, Faizi Larix (who can be energy drained and 'insta-killed') and one of the orthons who can be defeated in short order. This allows fighting only two Named first, then the remaining three in sequence, rather than all 5 at once.
 * Have the party stand in the tunnel to the left of Tolarn, beyond some rubble.
 * Have one character talk to Tolarn and rush back out of his room before the devils actually spawn.
 * One devil will spawn near the party and aggro, and you can fight him alone.
 * Then wait for the two Orthons to move into their own tunnels, and either pull the left one, or head into Tolarn's room and kill him.
 * Proceed to kill what's left one by one.
 * The devils will all spawn in their tunnels when you talk to Tolarn, then after a moment, they will all run to Tolarn. After a few moments in the center room with no aggro, they will run back to their individual tunnels with their backs to the main room. This allows you to easily confront them one by one in their spawn locations.
 * Recommended Buffs: True Seeing, Fire Resistance, Electricity Resistance, Cold Resistance
