...I know I am probably missing some small little detail, but I have spent a couple of hours on this problem and cannot figure out what I am missing.

I am in the Shadow Lord's dungeon. I have two peices of the symbol needed to get to open the door. I did all three of the rites on the alter near the entrance.

I need the thrid peice of the symbol. I am thinking I need to put something into the statue that is past the floor with all the letters on it, but I am not sure.

The symbol peice I am missing is the light one (I think). I searched everywhere and I am sure I did not drop it accidentally. Hmm, this is really stumping me. Usually the quests are pretty basic and straightforward, which is why I think that I am just overlooking something minor :)

Any help would be appreciated.

Yea, I struggled with this as well. You know the room with the shadow in who wants to be taken across the board thing. Well it's in there, in a pillar in the top left corner of the room. It's not the first romm after u go through the door btu the second, it might be secret, I can't remember.
