Friends, I am a book lover for Tibia and a book that intrigues me a lot is "The Lamp of Tazur" found in the Serpentine Tower library.

Brown Square Book.gifThe Lamp of Tazur

The lamp of Tazur was made of finest gold by the most skilled goldsmith of the land. He bound one of the mightiest and most evil djinn into it. The djinn was forced to do his every bidding. Using his power the artisan defeated legions of enemies. He even travelled to distant Drefia which in those days was at the zenith of its glory, and he met many necromancers who were willing to share their knowledge with him. This way he became even more powerful. Using stolen lifeforce he lived longer than any man was meant to live, and with his own eyes he saw the might of his necromancer allies decline. Legend has it that one day the djinn of good decided to stop the outrageous cabals of Drefia. Other stories say that it was in fact the evil djinn who saw their power threatened by it. Whatever the true cause might be, one night a star fell down from the sky and smashed most of Drefia, breaking its evil power forever, and the goldsmith finally met his fate. His most prized treasure, the lamp of Tazur was lost that night. It is said that it is still there somewhere, hidden on the ocean bed, waiting for a new owner.

I was wondering if anyone has ever found this lamp or have any more information for me to think about?

Serpentine Tower - Chapter 4 by Meadek suggests it's near NPC Kais:

10:04 Kais: I am Kais, Kais the Bound. Eternally fixed to the wretched place, unless... unless I prove my worth in aiding all those who seek my help.
10:04 Shawtay [687]: fixed
10:04 Kais: I was bound here by... I... do not know who did this to me. Not anymore... As of now, I feel a strange... urge to help those in need. I feel, yes I feel that ...
10:04 Kais: If I just help as many as I can... I may be set free... one day... but how many will it be? What does it take to... and why all this, to which end... I do not know.

As The Lamp of Tazur (Book) suggests

The lamp of Tazur was made of finest gold by the most skilled goldsmith of the land. He bound one of the mightiest and most evil djinn into it. The djinn was forced to do his every bidding. Using his power the artisan defeated legions of enemies. He even travelled to distant Drefia which in those days was at the zenith of its glory, and he met many necromancers who were willing to share their knowledge with him. This way he became even more powerful. Using stolen lifeforce he lived longer than any man was meant to live, and with his own eyes he saw the might of his necromancer allies decline.

However, the rumors mention the ocean...well we can't swim there yet so maybe when we get access to it with the unobtainable item fish tail we can find it? I know also there are rooms that can't be accessed at the Djinns from what I hear so maybe it's hiding there. Maybe the Lamp of Tazur is also the unobtainable Djinn's Lamp as seen here: Ankrahmun's Pharaoh Treasure Room or in the Serpentine Tower

Or perhaps the star room in Drefia (or other star-shaped rooms seen in Tibia) Image Source- Tibia Fandom

Shawtay, this information is worth gold. I spent hours digging Drefia's surface. With excavation tools, I will go to this floor of the star.

What I want to do is discover something for once, but maybe it's all just made up :(

Serpentine Tower is a very old secret, I'm sure there is something to be unraveled there. I have hopes like you. :P
