How to solve the puzzles
Puzzle Mechanics
All three puzzles work the same way. You get put in a set of rooms that are arranged in a grid pattern. Each room has an npc in it of a specific race. Every time you kill one of these NPCs, another NPC will spawn in it's place of a different race and the NPCs in the adjacent rooms will also switch race. The race that the NPCs switch to is alternating. The more races in a puzzle the harder the puzzle. Using this mechanism you have to get all the NPCs in all the rooms to be the same race. Once you do this you've solved the puzzle and you'll be wisked outside of the puzzle with a few random items for your adventuring pleasure.
Note: On the grids below I marked the entrance to the puzzle with an E.

Catelius Maximus
This one's pretty tough. The NPCs are tougher. There are 3 races. The location is hard to get to. All that make this puzzle a pretty good challenge.
