Proceed carefully forward through the tunnel and you will overhear two necromancers having a conversation on how to find another soul for the insatiable Star: "More souls are needed for the Star. The last one died before he could be harvested. I told you to prepare everything properly! Apprentice Haerlon will be no great waste.

He'll do. A few potions can be found behind the eastern door, while the western tunnel leads to an imprisonment area guarded by a skeleton and yet another necromancer. In the final chamber, a boss-level necromancer will quickly reanimate three skeletons; after the fight, head up the stairs where you will find a dead bandit lying in her own blood, the earthly remains of Malyn Varen , along with his revealing Grimoire , a boss-leveled chest, and Azura's Star , currently broken due to Malyn's experiments.

I hope you don't know what you're asking. What happened? An elven mage named Nelacar was exiled from the College over it. He's still in town, getting by plying spells to the people inside the Frozen Hearth. Are you serious? The person you probably want is Nelacar.

Having a constantly renewable black gem is a huge plus. W'rkncacnter Mister Freeze. I tend to role-play it. If my character has no qualms about sentencing human souls to the cairn then he goes with the Black Star.

If he is a bit more scrupulous he will go the other way. I've had a character who claimed it just to lock it away he also collected soul gems to prevent them from being used. If that isn't your cup of tea then I would go with the Black Star, it is far more useful.
