Walkthrough

Note: Warmly faction required. ref

This a long and involved quest, and can be started in a number of different places, but revolves around Qeynos, Surefall and Freeport. The details I was given are still unclear in spots, but it ultimately results in a high powered shadowknight weapon. It involves getting all three parts of the Bayle List. Each part can also be gotten separately for a different reward, as listed on the separate quests.

(1) For Part one of the list, talk to Commander Kane in the Shrine of Bertoxxus in Qeynos Catecombs and he will ask you to deliver blackburrow stout to Barn Bloodstone who is outside the Golden Rooster in Highpass. Make sure your faction withBarn is at least indifferent. To raise, do the Letter to Janam/Letter to Rebby quests in the East FP. If Commander Kane doesn't talk to you at first, just Hail him and say "The disease is spreading." Then he will bemuch more manageable. Doing so results in part one of the list.

As an alternative, you can kill Mutt Rootlit, who stands next to Barn, and she will drop the Bayle List I. Doing this will give a serious faction hit for Coalition of TradeFolk III, Coalition of TradeFolk, Carson McCabe, Corrupt Qeynos Guards, and The Freeport Militia.

(2) For part two of the list, you need to kill a bear. As background, you can talk to Runethar Hamest in the Temple of Thunder, who is investigating corruption among the guards of Qeynos. He asks you to go to Surefall Glade, find Frenway Marthank in the Druids' Guildtree, and ask him for "The Bayle List." When you do, Frenway is in a state of depression. His son -- who happened to be carrying the very list you're looking for -- was killed and devoured by the great grizzly bear Mammoth, who lives deep in the caves of Surefall Glade. As a Druid, Frenway is forbidden to harm the bears of the Glade, but he wants vengeance. If you can find and slay Mammoth, you will get a the Bayle list II. As an alternative, you can do the regurgatonic quest and feed Mammoth the regurgatonic and he will cough up the list.

Basically, all you have to do is kill the bear (he is about level 20) and skip the rest. Or if you don't want to kill the bear, you can do the regurgatonic quest in Ak'Anon and feed Mammoth the regurgatonic, and he will cough up the list for you.

(3) For part three, talk to Raltur Caliskon in the Dismal Rage in Freeport and he tells you to assist Sir Lucen Delere in any task he has. But to return any interesting information to him and not Delere. Ralture will then tell you to kill Lady Shea and get the Bayle List. However, Lady Shea will tell you that she had the list stolen from her by Dyllin Starshine, who is bound for Qeynos.

He can be found in the smuggler's camp in Highpass. If you have a high faction or use your influence spell on him, he will give you the list. You can also get the Bayle List III by killing him, but you will take a bad faction hit from that that might cause you to not be able to complete the final part of the quest. As an alternative, you can kill Dyllin Starshine and he will drop this, but you will again take some serious faction hits with several evil factions.

(4) Take all three parts to Rathmana Allin in South Ro along with 20 gp and he will give you back a translated list. If you give this to Pietro Zarn, the shadowknight guildmaster in the East Freeport Sewers, he will usually reward you with a Rage War Maul (you may need very high faction with him to get it - thus you shouldn't kill Dyllin unless you started extremely high).

It is possible that this is used to obtain an even better shadowknight weapon. It also seems likely that there is a good person to give the list to to get a good-oriented reward.
