 Wizard101 has a 13-year story so it's about time we go back to the beginning and remember how far we've come. Welcome to the story so far. Arc1 follows the story of Malistair, the ex-death professor at the Ravenwood School of Magical Arts. He is mourning the loss of his wife, Sylvia, who was the life professor before Mulindawoo. Our story starts in Wizard City, the heart of the spiral. We learn early on that Malistair is causing trouble around Wizard City, raising undead on most of the streets. While causing chaos, Malistair sinks the death school below Ravenwood campus, plunging it into nightside. After doing this, he steals Bartleby's eye of history in his search for the Croconomicon. The Order of the Fang is an ancient order of Crocatopians, led by Al Hazrit, the Balanced Professor. They were responsible for putting the now reawakened tuts to sleep. This was done through the Book of Rituals, also known as the Croconomicon. This book is the most powerful knowledge of life and death magic in the spiral, and funnily enough, is what Malistair is seeking in Crocatopia. Unfortunately, none of the Malibonian archaeologists know where this book is. In order to figure out where the book is, we assemble the Order. We begin our search for Crocopatra, Queen of the Tuts. She is brought back to life when Malistair came, searching for the Croconomicon, thus causing all the tuts to rise again. After her defeat, the tuts fall back to a slumber. She says she locked the Croconomicon in the sarcophagus of souls long ago, which happened to no longer be in Crocatopia, and is headed to a museum in Malibon. We make the hop to Malibon and find the Curator of the Royal Museum. Unfortunately, we are not allowed access to the sarcophagus while it's being prepared for display. The only way for us to get access is with the mayor's permission. Unfortunately, with the recent gang uprisings taking place in Malibon, the mayor is not letting anything important out on the streets, meaning we must stop the gang uprisings. Sherlock Bones is on the case investigating the O'Leary gang and who is truly behind the problem. We meet with some of Sherlock's informants in Hyde Park in Chelsea Court. This leads us to Finding Baxter, a criminal who helps us find Popsollery in the Ironworks. Sherlock Bones sends us to his colleague Watson at Scotland Yard. He sends us head first into the Newgate prison, trying to stop the escape of Myawiyari, Malibon's smartest cat criminal. Whilst talking to some of the officers, it is revealed that Malistair is behind the escape. Malistair is raising an army of golems created by the mad scientist Dr. Katzenstein. We find his lab and defeat him, creating our own golem to find out where they are all going. The golem tells us it must head to Big Ben to defend its master. This leads us back to the museum. Myawiyari is hiding out in Big Ben with the Croconomicon. In order to reach him, we need to reset the counterweights. Many levers later, the counterweights get reset and we gain access to the clock tower. Once at the top of the tower, we see Malistair. He says he is using the Croconomicon to finish what he started, and that he is heading to Dragon Spire. We consult with Headmaster Ambrus, and even he agrees, this could be trouble. Luckily, the only spiral key to Dragon Spire is held by the Emperor of Mooshu. Unfortunately, Malistair bit us to it and attempted to obtain the key. The Emperor refused. Malistair then cursed the Emperor, putting him into a deep slate, doled the key and fled to Dragon Spire. In order for us to get the key to follow him, we must heal the Emperor with the help of the monks. The local warlords are vying to rule over Mooshu while the Emperor is asleep, most notably Warlord Katsumori, who has been plagued by the war only. Defeating the only reveals the Emperor's sword the first part in order to reverse Malistair's curse. Next is pure water. However, the plague only has tainted the waters of Mooshu. In order to defeat this only, we need to rebuild the Jade Scepter to purify the shrines. Once doing this, the plague only is dealt with, allowing us to get pure water to cure the Emperor's mind. The last piece of the puzzle is to cure the Emperor's body. This requires us to defeat the death only who has taken up refuge in the Tree of Life. In order to get there, we must cross the cursed river. This is done by using a large spirit trapped in a spirit cage. Unfortunately, we must make the cage and find the spirit ourselves. Once crossing the river, we come face to face with the death only and defeat it once and for all. This allows the Tree of Life to grow its fruit once more, which is the last part needed to cure the Emperor. However, the Emperor himself is possessed by the Jade Oni, which must be defeated before the Emperor can be cured. The Jade Champion gives us the Dragon Spire spiral key that Malistair dropped on his way through the spiral door with the Emperor's blessing, and we head to Dragon Spire to confront Malistair. Cyrus Drake, the Myth Professor, Malistair's brother is the key to defeating Malistair. He is tasked to help us in Dragon Spire. After catching up with him in the Basilica, he explained Dragon Spire has three layers of security which we need to get through. Luckily, the first layer is open and we head to the library. We need the next portal stone, which will open the portal to the next layer of Dragon Spire. However, this stone is a lot harder to track down than you would think. We first head to the archives where portal stones used to be kept. Unfortunately, that ends in betrayal. We are then recommended to go to the stone keeper in order to get the stone from him. However, we must prove that we are worthy. We talk to his generals and get their recommendations. He then explains he locked his portal stone away in the Grand Chasm before the Dragon Titan's army assault. In order to get the stone, we must travel back in time using the time crystal to before the Dragon Titan's assault, and find the vault keeper to get the key to the vault the portal stone is locked in. After doing so, we take the portal stone back to the stone keeper and he charges it for us, ready to access the next layer of defense. We then must take the trial of admittance to be allowed access to the final layer of Dragon Spire. We learn about the wonders of Drakes and the history of Dragon Spire Academy. We have finally gained access to the next layer. The only problem is we don't have the portal stone and we need a written letter of acceptance from the Dean. Luckily, there's a found both in the same place, the Labyrinth. The Dean was placed here after kidnapping the Academy staff and starting the summoning ritual for the Dragon Titan. Once he is defeated, we obtain his badge as a sign of our acceptance and in his belongings is the final portal stone. We make our way into the Academy, finally. The fire school tree Ashley states that Malistair is on top of the volcano in the Headmaster's quarters. However, the only way up is to fly. We must become a Dragon Rider. First, we need to obtain the Dragon Rider staff, which has been broken into pieces and scattered throughout the spiral. After obtaining the pieces, we must reassemble the staff. It needs a crystal head, which needs to be crafted from the crystal crafters in the crystal grove. After obtaining the head, we forge the staff together, forming the Dragon Rider staff. Next step is getting a Drake. We head to the Drake Hat Tree and hatch our own Drake Egg. We then need to learn how to fly from the Knowledge Crystals in the Forum. With these three things, we are finally ready to fly to the top of the volcano to take Malistair down once and for all. Atop the volcano, Malistair is there, ready to revive Sylvia. When we meet him, we show him the Knowledge Crystal with the spirit of his wife, which we collected along the way in the Necoropolis. The only way to stop him is to defeat him once and for all, and put this chapter to rest.
