Walkthrough
(I was able to turn this in as an Iksar with the starting faction to Temple of Sol Ro.)
You say, 'Hail, Vurgo'
Welcome! I am Vurgo, follower of Solusek Ro and holder of the [harvester] and the [Words of Darkness].'
You say, 'What Words of Darkness?
Vurgo says, 'I can scribe for you the Words of Darkness, but you will need to bring me the correct [word components].'
You say, 'What word components?'
Vurgo says, 'The first thing that I need is a shadowed book from our mortal enemies, the shadowed men.'
Hand Vurgo the Shadowed Book.

Vurgo says, 'A shadowed book! Well done! The more banished shadowed men the better. As the items of the shadowed men tend to disappear, I have given you a note to remind me that you have indeed supplied me with a book. Give me the note with the following items, and I will scribe for you Words of Darkness: a book of darkness from the Erudites in the tower by Lake Rathe, a book of frost from the icy goblin in Permafrost Keep and 300 golden coins. Bring me these items, and I will scribe for you the Words of Darkness.'
Vurgo gives you a Note.

Drop Rate Notes
• Shadowed Book is a very rare drop off of any of the shadowed men in any zone. It can take a couple of hours to farm this piece.
Referenced records: Shadowed Book
• Book of Frost (drops off of An icy goblin in Permafrost); the center mob in the room, PHs are as other mobs in the jail.
Referenced records: Book of Frost · An icy goblin
• Book of Darkness (drops off of Cyanelle in Lake Rathe); she is in the building on the top right island in the lake and the drop rate is common, but not always. Eldreth stands next to her and will assist.
