This quest starts automatically after walking close to Elfsong Tavern (X:78, Y:1) in the [[Lower City]]. The [[Emperor|Emperor's]] voice will call out that it was the location of his old hideout and that there may be useful supplies there that the party could take.  

The entrance to the hideout is on the ground floor of the tavern, in the kitchen. There is a set of wooden stairs that lead to a storeroom (X:52, Y:8). Upon entering, if [[Roveer's Storehouse]] has not been completed, then a large group of rats will instantly attack the party. After defeating the rats, enter the westernmost door. Near a crack in the wall, a button (X:-868, Y:544) can be spotted with a successful perception check. Hitting the button will open up a wine cask in the room next door (X:-861, Y:547). Going through this cask will lead to the door to the hideout.

A group of Githyanki soldiers will be lying in wait in the hideout, led by [[Ch'r'ai Har'rak]]. Har'rak will ask questions of the party and what the Emperor offered them in exchange for their servitude, but all of the options will lead to combat. The Githyanki warriors will need to be defeated to further explore the hideout. This encounter contains a paladin and two gatemasters, who are capable of summoning more Githyanki to the fight.

After defeating the Githyanki, moving north towards the statue will reveal another hidden button if the perception check is passed. This will lead to the area where the Emperor kept many precious mementos, some of which can be uncovered by passing additional perception checks. These items include:

Interacting with the Emperor's sword will successfully completely the quest.
