The Theorems of Pandgram

 is a side quest in.

Synopsis
Nedyn, an animancer at the Brackenbury sanitarium, is studying the problem of soul attachment and bonding. She is missing a crucial element of the puzzle, the Theorems of Pandgram, needed to further her research, and requires the Watcher's aid in obtaining a copy of the text.

Walkthrough
If you talk to Nedyn on the street outside of the Sanitarium entrance in the Brackenbury district of Defiance Bay, she'll ask you to steal a valuable book (the Theorems of Pandgram) for her.

Travel to the Copperlane district, enter the Hall of Revealed Mysteries in the Northwest, and find Grimda. The book is in a room to the left of her (the "Elder Archives"), but it is locked.

You now have three options:


 * Earn your access to the Elder Archives
 * Talk to Grimda, but don't tell her about Nedyn. Instead, get the quest The Parable of Wael from her. Complete that quest, then report back to Grimda. She'll now give you access to the Elder Archives, where you can take the Theorems of Pandgram without anyone noticing.


 * Break into the Elder Archives
 * Either kill Grimda and take the key to the Elder Archives from her body, or pick the lock (Difficulty 5). In the first case, the entire Hall turns hostile. You can grab the Theorems of Pandgram and fight your way out. In the second case, you can safely pick the lock and then enter the room as long as you're in scouting mode - even if the icon shows you are visible to the nearby NPC.


 * Report Nedyn to Grimda
 * Grimda will thank you, and the quest completes immediately.
 * Also, you'll no longer find Nedyn in Brackenbury - instead, you'll encounter her hostile in Woodend Plains. (After the battle, you can loot the Ring of Eternal Funding from her body.)

Unless you betrayed Nedyn, return to her. If you say the reward is not enough, she will add the Ring of Eternal Funding.
