There's nothing a little poison couldn't cure...

What happened here was the gradual habituation of the people, ... to receiving decisions deliberated in secret; to believing that the situation was so complicated that the government had to act on information which the people could not understand, or so dangerous that, even if he people could understand it, it could not be released because of national security.

The Skull of Death drops of the mage named Vith(not sure of spelling).
spoiler below...


You have to do a stupid quest for him. You retrieve his book of rituals. After you retrieve the book, he asks you to help him kill 3 greater elementals(fire,air,earth)
After the last one, he will give you a rod of abosorption. Ask kindly to recieve more and you will get a few lvl 9 scrolls(I got time stop, wail of banshee, and maybe another or so but i only remember these 2)
Keep demanding more from him and he will fight you. He is very powerful. He casted lvl 9 spells at least 5 times when i fought him and he owned me everytime. So I reloaded and saved at the spot where he would go back to the planes to loot the stuff, and I took my thief and laid snares where he would come back and had Aerie use a sequencer with magic missiles. I used the sequencer as soon as he came back, and he would turn red and get killed by the snares. With the snare/sequencer combo I killed him without taking any damage and he only casted a few spells(stoneskin etc)
