General

During the Elements of Revenge story arc Martine attacked the starter towns where new Isparians first land on Dereth. He destroyed all the starting locations except for Holtburg, Shoushi, and Yaraq. In response Queen Elysa increased the defenses at the three remaining towns. In this quest you have to aid the local guards at all three of the towns then attack Martine's base of operations.

This quest is unusual because you can start it from any of the three starter towns. The procedure of the quest will be the same no matter where you start but the order in which you do them will be different depending on which town you start in.

The 3 NPCs are as follows:

• Holtburg - Sir Rylanan at 41.6N, 34.2E
• Shoushi - Sir Tenshin at 32.8S, 73.3E
• Yaraq - Dame Tsaya at 21.0S, 0.8W

We'll start in alphabetical order in Holtburg but you can start in any of the towns.

Walk Through

Holtburg

1. Talk to Sir Rylanan at 41.6N, 34.2E, near Holtburg.
2. Go to the house at 42.8N 29.5E and kill the Hollow Minions in the basement. One will drop a Cryptic Letter.
   • Optional: Talk to the Reformed Bandit outside the house after you loot the note to watch him portal recall away.
3. Return the Cryptic Letter to Sir Rylanan who will direct you to the Asuger Temple.
4. Enter Asuger Temple (ACmaps - Asuger Temple) at 45.1N, 30.4E.
5. Make your way through the dungeon until you find Hollow Minions and hallways that are colored red. This means you are near the end.
6. Kill the level 30 Hollow Minion boss.
7. Loot the Storage Key from the Hollow Minion. It drops 1 per kill.
8. Use the key to open the Storage Chest and loot the Glass Spherule
9. Return to Sir Rylanan and hand him the Spherule to get experience, a title, and 3 Golem Hearts.
10. Unless this is your last town Rylanan will give you Sir Rylanan's Letter to Sir Tenshin, which you must take to Sir Tenshin in Shoushi to continue the quest.

Lore & Dialog

Holtburg Dialog

Sir Rylanan tells you, "I've recently been assigned to Holtburg to build a garrision and be on the lookout for suspicious happenings. There is one fellow on the outskirts of town that I've been keeping my eye on. He's just moved here from Marae Lassel and sometimes comes into town for provisions. He says he's been "reformed", but I can spot a bandit when I see one! Townsfolk say they've spotted shady-looking guests coming and going from his house at odd hours. Could you go check on him? His house lies to the northwest of town, past the Holtburg West Training Academy."

Before Looting the Cryptic Note:
Reformed Bandit tells you, "Greetings, stranger. I've done many things to be ashamed of in the past, but I've come here to make a new start near the fair town of Holtburg. I enjoy the peace and quiet of these parts. Would you mind if I asked you to be on your way? I am entertaining some important guests, and I don't want them to be disturbed."

After Looting the Cryptic Note:
The "reformed" bandit has an extremely guilty look on his face. He even looks as if he might run for the hills.
Reformed Bandit tells you, "Look! Behind you! Is that the white bunny?!"
Reformed Bandit says, "Shurov Thiloi!"

You give Sir Rylanan A Cryptic Note.
Sir Rylanan tells you, "You say you found this note in that bandit's house? Surrounded by a pack of Hollow Minions? I knew that fellow was up to no good! Look here...it refers to Asuger Temple, up to the north. Last I heard, the temple was just a Banderling hideout...harmless really. I wonder what sort of trouble might be brewing up there? Find out what is going on, and I'm sure I could find something in the Guard's coffers to reward you with."

You give Sir Rylanan Glass Spherule.
Sir Rylanan tells you, "What a strange object! Perfectly round, and perfectly smooth!"
Sir Rylanan holds the spherule up to the light and stares into the milky glass.
Sir Rylanan tells you, "What substance could possibly be swirling around in there? Looks like portal space energy, doesn't it?"
Sir Rylanan starts to shake the spherule but suddenly thinks better of it.
Sir Rylanan tells you, "I am out of my depth here...the mages of the Arcanum might be able to fathom this object's purpose. I will send it to the Arcanum for analysis."
Sir Rylanan tells you, "I believe Sir Tenshin would be very interested to hear about your discoveries. He is heading up the garrision down in Shoushi. This letter will serve as your introduction to him--I have chronicled your discoveries, as well as the contents of the note you found earlier."
Sir Rylanan gives you Sir Rylanan's Letter to Sir Tenshin.
Sir Rylanan tells you, "I should now reward you for your aid in investigating this matter."
You've earned 5,000 experience.
Sir Rylanan gives you Wood Heart.
Sir Rylanan gives you Wood Heart.
Sir Rylanan gives you Wood Heart.
