 * Sonic trap in the next room, to the north; control box is in the northeast corner.
 * misc=
 * The quest is very linear, despite the appearance of the map.
 * You may need to explore very short side doors to find the other two Altars, though the third altar is along your journey.
 * The first altar is in the northernmost room.
 * The second altar is in the westernmost room.
 * The third altar is right on the way, where Tahmael appears.
 * Someone with the Religious Lore feat may purify the altars instead of destroy them for an extra chest.
 * Hirelings will not be able to purify the altars, as they cannot navigate the menu you get when 'using' the Altar.
 * You will need to break furniture to access levers hidden behind it.
 * In the first room after the second shrine there are a couple of lion statues; when you approach the boundary between the two rooms, a rakshasa lord will appear and the statues will shatter, releasing Khyber Jariliths. Additionally, a sonic trap will start.
 * Merideth will appear beyond the sealed door past where you meet up with the novice.
 * Tahmael will appear by the third altar.
 * Gnomon is one of the few mobs in the game that casts Divine Punishment on players, so watch your HPs. He also likes to spam Blade Barriers.
 * If you finish out, you'll appear near Dectaran; if you take the door at the end, you'll appear on the stairs near Waterworks, nearer Lightbringer, who actually gives your reward.
 * This quest is the first of a three part chain. The next quest in the chain is Servants of the Overlord.
