You say, 'Who is Hyrill?'

Yiz Pon says, 'There is no time... must keep moving... ugh.'

You say, 'Where in Freeport?'

Yiz Pon will ask you to deliver a note to his brother in Freeport named Hyrill Pon. Yiz is running from Splitpaw and some beast is after him. He gives you a Torn Parchment.

You need to kill a Splitpaw assassin and loot a Hollow Skull (Skull of Wun Toque) (container with two slots).

Apparently Yiz stole this skull in Splitpaw, but then he gave it to assassin to stop hunting him. However, the assassin is still trying to kill him.

Take the note from Yiz to his brother Hyrill Pon in West Freeport.

Hyrill Pon says 'Peh! He thinks this old skull he found is a legendary skull of Wun Toque. It is said, a wizard who possesses one is granted power and intelligence far beyond those of his peers. Yiz was searching for the skull's missing ruby eyes. It seems he found the location of the first eye. Hmm.. Lynuga.. Lynuga.. I think I have heard that name before.. Yeah! Now I remember. I met her in the Foreign Quarter of Neria.. um.. Highpass Hold. She was trying to hawk some stolen gems! I think she mumbled something about going home to Grobb. I sure don't have time to track her down.'

You now have to find two ruby eyes which need to be combined in the Hollow Skull container.

• The first eye is found on Lynuga in Innothule Swamp. She is a 32nd level Troll Shaman and doesn't present an easy fight. Loot a Large Ruby from her (gives a +1 INT bonus when worn).

Referenced records: Lynuga · Large Ruby

• The second eye is called a Ruby Pendant and can be found on a gnoll shaman named Kurrpok Splitpaw who spawns in Splitpaw Lair.

Referenced records: Ruby Pendant · Kurrpok Splitpaw · Splitpaw Lair

Put the two ruby eyes in the Hollow Skull and hit combine. This will turn into a Jeweled Skull, which is a half decent held item.
