Zoo Quest
Story Guide
The Zoo
This quest starts at the Zoo. Enter the Zoo headquarters to talk to Kristina about a quest. She will tell you that there is a problem with the magical creatures section, and you should go through the secret entrance in the northwest corner of the aviary and ask Tor about it. She also comments that the panda-patterned floor was made by a dwarf from Varak.
There is a map of the zoo across the path from Zoo Headquarters. Examine (not apply) the sign to see the map. The aviary can be found by going north to the Arctic zone and then east, past the wolves. The secret entrance is a wall you can walk through behind some trees.
Walk past the office/storage rooms until you find a Mage in green robes, standing next to a blast crater behind the magical animals exhibit. This is Tor. He will explain that the magical orb that powered the magical cages wore out, and that it needs to be replaced. He is stuck there, keeping the creatures contained in place of the orb. He says no one knows where it came from, but he asked Garignor in New Verden to look into it.
