*** No mention of Essence Lens until November 28, 2001. Malalafen was removed from game in 2003 and subsequently it is impossible for us to attempt to complete this quest on Live.
*** No mention of Malalafen on Way back Machine as of April 9, 2001. Alarti determined through comments that Malalafen originally Malalafin(sp) was removed two (2) months after velious release due to him being killed and dropping the Essence Lens which was not intended - and as a result he was removed until later. First back up that includes Malalafen in the Bestiary is March 26, 2002, first comment can be seen on January 29, 2002 on current ZAM - http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/npc.html?id=7288
