    Start NPC: Balasiel - Southern San d'Oria <F-7>
    Requirements: San d'Oria Reputation 1, Level 7+
    Items Needed: Revival Tree Root
    Title: Knight in Training
    Repeatable: No
    Reward: Spatha

    Previous Quest: none
    Next Quest: A Squire's Test II

    Walkthrough

    * Talk to Balasiel; he wants you to prove your mettle by finding a revival tree root.
    o Balasiel can be tricky to find. Start by going to Watchdog Alley at <F-6>. You will see an NPC named Celyddon, walk west from him into the stairwell. Follow it upward, and take your first left (do not walk out on the wooden walkway). Follow those stairs up, then they will dip back down, and curve around to Balasiel.
    * Obtain a Revival Tree Root and trade it to Balasiel to complete the quest.
    o Note: Balasiel suggests you look for the root in King Ranperre's Tomb, just ignore this. The only low level monster there that drops the root is the Spook, which is almost always heavily camped by people seeking Traveler's Mantle. Easiest way is to buy a Revival Tree Root from the Auction House under Materials > Alchemy.

    Start NPC: Balasiel - Southern San d'Oria <F-7>
    Requirements: Level: 15+
    Items Needed: None
    Title: Spelunker
    Repeatable: No
    Reward: Squire Certificate

    Previous Quest: A Squire's Test
    Next Quest: A Knight's Test

    Walkthrough

    * Talk to Balasiel @ F-7 in Southern San d'Oria.
    * Talk to Chanpau @ E-7 in Southern San d'Oria.
    * Zone into Northern San d'Oria, talk to Morjean in the Cathedral @ L-7. (This step cannot be completed if you are currently in-between the steps of speaking with Morjean and collecting the Wyvern Egg for the Dragoon flag quest The Holy Crest.

    NOTE: Before heading out, be sure to have some sort of Sneak/Invis to avoid aggro and Warp.

    * Travel to La Theine Plateau, enter the ravine @ F-6. After passing Equesobillot, follow the left wall until you zone into Ordelle's Caves.
    * Following the right wall, travel to G-4 (Map 2, A). You are now on Map 1.
    * Following the right wall, travel to G-6 (Map 1, C). You are now on Map 2.
    * To your left, touch the ??? that rest in the pool of water. (Note that if you have hand equipment equipped that you may not be able to obtain the key item).

    NOTE: Keep Sneak up at all times! In this room, Shriekers, Hognosed Bats, and Jellys aggro by sound.

    * Search for the 2nd ??? in the center of this room to receive the Key Item: Stalactite Dew. If you did not receive the key item, you have missed a step.
    * Return to Balasiel for your recognition.


    Start NPC: Balasiel - Southern San d'Oria <F-7>
    Requirements: Level: 30+
    Items Needed: None
    Title: Tried and Tested Knight
    Repeatable: No.
    Reward: Kite Shield & Ability to become a Paladin.


    Walkthrough

    * For your final test to become a knight, speak with Balasiel once more.
    * He will read to you from the Book of Tasks a riddle on where to go next
    * This riddle leads you to the guards in Victory Square.
    * Speak with Baunise (on the parapet over Westgate) to obtain the Book of the West (key item), and then to Cahaurme (on the Parapet over Eastgate) to obtain the Book of the East (key item).
    * These books direct you to seek an item in Davoi to give to Balasiel.
    * Examine the Disused Well at <E-10> to retrieve the Knight's Soul (key item).
    o Travel to Davoi, which may require Sneak and Invisible if your level is low enough to cause aggro.
    o It is good to note that orcs aggro to sight, and pugils aggro to sound. Some orcs like Orcish Champion aggro to 75 so at some points even high levels must keep invisible up.
    o You'll need to travel along the waterways to get to<E-10> in Davoi, where you will find a Disused Well. The easiest way to do this is to head South from the entrance to Davoi along the path at <J-8>. Head straight south through that camp to the path at <K-10>. Head south-west through that path until you reach water. Follow the water until you reach a fork and follow the fork west. Follow the water until it bends North and you can move onto a path heading south. Move south-east through that camp and straight south along the path to the Disused Well at <E-10>.
    o There may be a Davoi Mush or its Notorious cousin here, but since they aggro to sound, all you have to do is drop Invisible, and keep Sneak up.
    o Click the Disused Well to receive a Knight's Soul (key item).
    * Return to Balasiel for your reward and the ability to become a Paladin.
