According to the Quellithulians, extra-planar creatures have begun appearing in the areas around the Ulteran Spires, but not in the physical plane. Rather, they seem to exist mostly in an alternate plane that borders Norrath's. These creatures are disrupting the Spire's ethereal threads, making repair of the broken Ulteran Spires difficult. The Quellithulians have asked that I seek out these creatures using a special device, and destroy them.
