Being a Dark Elf Cleric, and one that has the Testament of Vanear I can
tell you you don't need to do half of what you have written.
To get the book just give Moodoro Finharn 2gp. He gives you the book..
then do the 4gp gamble thing to get the jester card. Then give jester
card to Moodoro to get page. Then go to HP and kill Dynil and get the
other page. Stick both pages in book and hit combine. No need to go to
Erudin at all..
You will need to not be KOS in Qeynos and HP of course but that is
reasonably easy to achieve and you should be aiming for it anyway in my
opinion since DEs have so much hassle selling/banking as it is.
