List of Contents
Mysterious Shards are collectibles that you can get from the black robed NPCs called Tha'abeen. These are elite members of the Order of the Ancients and are usually accompanied by one or two guards.
The Tha'abeen are also classified as guards as they will investigate the area if you pickpocket a civilian and will respond to a Horn Bearer's call.
Note that the area around the Tha'abeen is considered a restricted area. If there are guards nearby, they will become suspicious if you run up to them or run past them.
Note that some specified locations may vary since Mysterious Shards are found on Tha'abeen that roam around in set areas.

You can find the Tha'abeen and his two guards roaming around Basim's hideout and the city's viewpoint.

How to Get Legendary Isu Weapons and Armor Set
The best way to get the Mysterious Shard from the Tha'abeen is to pickpocket it. Find the black robed NPC in the area or use Eagle Vision and find red glowing figure that has the Mysterious Shard icon above their head.
You can throw a Smoke Bomb near them and pickpocket the collectible before the smoke disappears. Alternatively, you can use a Scholar Favor Token to hire a musician to distract them and prevent them from moving to their preset route.
You can also simply assassinate the Tha'abeen and loot the Mysterious Shard from their body. Note that this method increases your Notoriety level as most of the Tha'abeen are located in public areas so civilians will report you to the guards for committing a crime.
To start collecting Mysterious Shards, you need to trigger the Case Nehal's Calling (or The Calling). To start this Case, you need to complete the previous Case My Old Home and the quest Old Wounds.
