A Fragment of Legendary Alaran History may be obtained by doing an optional step in any of the [[Pillars_of_Alra#Partisan_tasks|partisan quests]] in the Pillars of Alra (except for The First Pilgrimage).

Killing mobs in one pillar makes two factions hate you and two like you. This changes you from dubious to KOS.

You can repair the damage by doing Crisis of Faith which gives positive hits with all four factions. By repeatedly doing Crisis of Faith you should be able to even become ally to all four factions.

* '''Crisis of Faith''' ([https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=5486 Allakhazam], [https://voa.eqresource.com/crisisoffaith.php EQ Resource], [https://everquest.fanra.info/raspers/guides/VoA/PoA_T_11.html Rasper's]) - Solo task. Optional step is to finish within 72 minutes.

Optional step is getting hit by a feign death AE three times while fighting [http://eq.magelo.com/npc/424354/Arcane-Guardian-Solandrielagral Arcane Guardian Solandrielagral].

Optional step is killing a Fal'Kaa's Shadowward at the top of the shade pillar.
* '''The Word of Fal`Kaa''' ([https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=5484 Allakhazam], [https://voa.eqresource.com/thewordoffalkaa.php EQ Resource], [https://everquest.fanra.info/raspers/guides/VoA/PoA_T_9.html Rasper's]) - Shared task.  Optional step is to avoid aggro returning the book to the light pillar.

==== Fragment experience given ====
As the tear evolves, it requires more and more experience to advance.  However, the fragment gives a straight percentage increase, as shown below, so it is advised that you save them until near the end, so they give you maximum value.

The experience given scales depending on the level of your tear and is now as follows [exp value - approximate % of the tear level you'll get per click]:

# 450 - 10%
# 474 - 25%
# 673 - 25%

# 1086 - 20%
# 1157 - 15%
# 1644 - 15%
# 1557 - 10%
# 2211 - 10%
# 1571 - 5%
# 2232 - 5%
# 3170 - 5%
# 4503 - 5%
# 6397 - 5%
# 9088 - 5%
# 12910 - 5%
# 18340 - 5%
# 26054 - 5%
# 37013 - 5%

== Final rewards ==
Upon fully evolving the tear, you get:

* [https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=100107 The Tears of Alaris]
Only the defense skill mod will benefit you if the item is equipped in the ammo slot, but you will get full benefits from the augmentation version of the item.

There is a button (after zoning once it is fully evolved) in the description window to convert it back and forth between the above version and a [[Type 3 augmentations|Type 3 augmentation]] version:
