Part 1: Return Relanya's lost boys to her or proof of their deaths
Part 2: Rescue Relanya's son Talen from the demons holding him
Part 3: Summon the cat headed spirit to help her regain her powers
This is automatically assigned to you while completing the quest, “Rescue Relanya's son, Talen from the demons holding him.”
To my knowledge it is incomplete and not worth attempting.
To get the quest directly assigned follow the steps for The Lost Grove: Getting Her Blessing to Enter The Lost Grove
High level:
place head
Carefully, you place a carved stone feline head onto the fractured neck of the lithesome stone statue of a woman.
After a few moments, there is a flash of bright blue light. When you are next able to see, the feminine statue is no longer a concern. Next to it stands a woman dressed in a flowing gossamer gown. Like the statue, her body is firm and lithe and her head bears strong characteristics of a feline. About the woman there is a sense of presence. So strong is this presence, that you initially neglect the fact that you can see right through her.
The translucent, cat-headed spirit begins to speak into your mind: "Well met, traveler. You have my deepest gratitude for restoring this statue, for only through it may I visit the mortal realm."
"Many years ago, the desert which stretches before you was a rich, fertile valley, surrounded entirely by mountainous walls. All varieties of plants and animals thrived here, including mighty dragons and any number of colorful and fragrant flowers which the world will never see again."
"My people were a young culture then, barely past the point of tribal war. I brought them here, taking them across great distances, in hopes that they could escape the barbarisms of those nearest them and thus thrive in this valley."
"And thrive they did for many, many years. Until I was betrayed."
"Please, you must help me. If I am to reverse my foul betrayal, I must be allowed to regain my powers. Only you, the one who restored my statue, my link to the mortal realm, can do this."
"To the southwest stands a colossal monument, a tribute built to the despicable mortal who sought to replace me. Within it, there are artifacts that, when tossed into the Well of Souls there, will release my spirit from the Land of the Dead. At least for a time. Only then will I be able to regain my powers fully."
"Go now, please, with my blessing. But hurry, for if there is one thing I have learned for certain while in this dreaded Land is that..."
You watch as the spirit of the cat-headed goddess fades out of existence.
As the cat-headed spirit shimmers out of sight, her last words reach you like a whisper in the wind: "...even a goddess may die..."

Go to the Lost Grove to the secret underground area:
Go to the room called "Tip of an Obelisk" # 48226 - Its 1s2w of entrenace.

"look square"
Directly below a circle of gold etched into the ceiling rests a similar etching. But this one is square in shape and is filled with silver, not gold. The square and circle look like they once served a ceremonial purpose, but as to what, you have no idea. There is evidence that something large, a block of stone or an altar, perhaps, at one time rested at the center of the square.
"look skull"
On the lower right hand corner of the southmost wall there is a hieroglyphic of a skull. Though just a drawing, it conveys a deep sense of death.
"look coin"
Depicted with a yellowish-gold paint, a drawing of a golden coin adorns one of the walls. On its obverse side, the only one visible, there is a picture of a roaring dragon curled about a tremendous hoard of treasure.
"look eye"
Engraved into one of the walls is a hieroglyphic of an eye. The eye is wide open and blue and brimming with wisdom.
"look holy"
One of the hieroglyphics on the wall is that of a lone symbol. Shaped like a cross with a looped top, the symbol is rendered in a silvery paint.
"look mask"
One of the lone hieroglyphics remaining intact on the cracked walls is that of a mask. The features on the mask are quite beautiful by any standard. So beautiful are they that it seems almost like an expression of vanity.
Traverse through the rooms and "look hieroglypics" in each room: (note: the first part of each hieroglyphic repeat for each translation, only included on the first one).
"translate first"
With the aid of a stone tablet of Enduraba, you are finally able to fully understand the hieroglyphics here. They read: As proclaimed by the Goddess in Her last moments, there is a twelve-fold path which must be walked in order to restore unto Her Her powers and essence, so that She might once again guide the People. So, let the first step be written for all time to witness, so that one day it shall come to pass:
'One must first commune with the Goddess and establish a link to Her, so that She might bestow upon one Her Blessing. Be mindful that the pyramid and grove require Her blessing to enter. Should it come to pass that you should ever bring harm against the Goddess, Her blessing shall be revoked.'
"translate second"
'Communing with the Goddess is only possible through a Vessel or through a statue to the Goddess, all of which have perished, save one. And this one is not whole.'
"translate third"
'So, one must destroy Her statue first in order to get Her blessings.' [These hieroglyphics appear in red.]
"translate fourth"
'Then, you must find and defeat the four who betrayed the Goddess. But the four who participated in Her usurpation cannot truly be defeated lest essences of their former glory be present and sacrificed within moments of their defeat.'
"translate fifth"
'In order to gather the essences of Her betrayers, one must travel into the Sacred grove with Her blessing and gather them at the golden font, which was once the well spring of their powers.'
"translate sixth"
'Each of Her betrayers, Her demigod siblings, can only be summoned by shattering a heartstone of onyx on their altars, once their High Priest has been defeated.'
"translate seventh"
'The demigod of strength and muscle but be defeated first. His powers are the weakest. Without his strength, the other three are weakened considerably. His essences must then be sacrificed upon his own altar.'
"translate eighth"
'First to fall must be his ally and consort, the deity of technology. If this comes to pass in this order, chaos shall ensue and the deities shall bring aid to one another. Her essences must then be sacrificed upon her own altar.'
"translate ninth"
'After the demigod of strength and she of knowledge has been defeated then must fall the winged one. With his swift aid, the Goddess' advisor, the most powerful of all Her siblings, must surely fall. His essences must then be sacrificed upon his own altar.'
"translate tenth"
'Finally, Her advisor and best loved sister must be defeated, for it is She who was lured in by Setmos' promises of power and servitude. She is the one who convinced the others to turn against her sister. She holds the loyalty of the other three demigods and should any still survive before the Advisor is defeated, they shall swiftly come to her aid. Her essences must then be sacrificed upon her own altar.'
"translate eleventh"
'Proof of each demigods defeat must then be tossed into the Well of Souls, where they shall temporarily release the Vile One's hold upon the Goddess.'
"translate twelfth"
'Finally, should Her blessings still be with you, the Goddess shall arise out of the well of souls, with her powers restored.'

With the aid of a stone tablet of Enduraba, you are finally able to fully
understand the hieroglyphics here. They read: May this idol of the lesser
deity Enserpina stand as a lasting tribute to her once kind and thoughtful
nature. As a demigoddess to the People, crafts and technology were her
domain. It is she who designed the Great Pyramid, hoping to please her
sister, the Goddess of the People. A fragment of her essence has been imbued
into part of a stone circlet this idol wears. Only by gathering it and the
essence of her siblings may the Goddess of the People be restored to power.
Once this is done, She may choose to restore unto Enserpina her once true and
beautiful form. Until then, as payment for her betrayal, Enserpina, like all
of the Goddess' siblings, must endure whatever shattered bodies the Goddess
thrust upon them with the last vestiges of her fading will for their betrayal.
"translate carving"
With the aid of a stone tablet of Enduraba, you are finally able to fully
understand the hieroglyphics here. They read: As daughter of the Keeper and
bringer of light, Multiplina was once the Goddess best friend and advisor.
When the Goddess of the valley was betrayed by Multiplina and her other
siblings, it startled Her most that the daughter of the Balance would seek to
overthrow Her. As punishment, the Goddess used her last influences upon this
place to transform Multiplina and her siblings into whatever their hearts most
reflected at the moment of their betrayal. In hopes that one day the Goddess
shall be brought back among us, I, her last living vessel and priestess, have
imbued part of this idol with Multiplina's godly essence, for only through it
and the eccenses of the other demigods shall a way to bring back the goddess
be found.
"translate placard"
With the aid of a stone tablet of Enduraba, you are finally able to fully
understand the hieroglyphics here. They read: Until the Goddess is restored
to power, this statue alone shall recall and remind others of Lionemus' former
strength and prowess. It was through his skills and brute strength that
allowed the People to lay the first stones of the Great Pyramid's foundation.
Were it not for his part in the betrayal of the goddess, he would still walk
the realms in his true form. But what was done is done and can only be undone
by restoring unto the Goddess her powers. Though this idol be made of stone,
a part of it still retains Lionemus' former essence. With it, in part, lies
the key to Her salvation.
"translate etching"
With the aid of a stone tablet of Enduraba, you are finally able to fully
understand the hieroglyphics here. They read: Never was there a more
youthful, more handsome deity, as was the demigod Ramuset. And at times his
want for merriment would fill the entire valley, enlivening the spirits of the
People, no matter what the occasion. And on his wings arrived many messages
more swiftly than thought. But out of jealously, he joined his siblings in a
fight against their sister, the Goddess of the People. And though they won
the battle, banishing the Goddess' powers and form from this plane, it was not
without consequence for it is said that now Ramuset must walk the land in the
form of a manbat, a creature as ugly as Ramuset was once beautiful. Part of
Ramuset's essence has been imbued into part of this statue in hopes that it
might help right the grand betrayal of the heavens.
