Quest Overview

Come to Asheron's aid in rescuing a pocket of trapped Empyreans. You must be a Knight in a society faction in order to have accesss to Freebooter Isle where they are being held.

Walk Through

1. Speak to the Emissary of Asheron (Cragstone) at 24.4N, 48.3E near Cragstone. This flags you to enter the first portal (required).
2. Travel to Freebooter Isle and run north to 54.0S 97.6E where you will find an open magma tube style entrance (just north of a similar entrance that leads to the Bandit Boss).
3. Stick left until you come to a portal, go inside and continue sticking left for a long ways until you see a Virindi Apostate Master. Kill him and everyone loot a Dark Apostate Shard, he drops 9 and respawns if you need more.
4. Return the shard to the Emissary in Cragstone who will give you a Glowing Apostate Shard with a 60 minute timer.
5. Return to the same dungeon on Freebooter and look for a blotchy/hazy looking portal in a semi-random location. This won't show up on radar, you have to look for it visually. Use the glowing shard near it and a regular portal should spawn (it is buggy and doesn't always spawn).

Lore & Dialog

Town Criers:
Town Crier tells you, "I've heard rumors that there is now more than one of Asheron's Emissaries mobilizing adventurers against the Apostate Virindi."

Town Crier tells you, "Another of Asheron's Emissaries has been sighted just south of Cragstone. In all my time on Dereth, I've never seen Asheron so active. Dark times ahead, I tell you."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Asheron seems ticked at these new, Blue Applesauce Virindi. They must've gotten into his stout stash..."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Asheron seems to be doing a lot of work lately to get some pile of lost Empyreans back. I hope at least one of them is a brewer, or a barkeep even."

Speak to Emissary in Cragstone:
Emissary of Asheron tells you, "Greetings!"
Emissary of Asheron tells you, "I have been sent here to ask adventurers, such as yourself, to aid in a rather delicate situation my Lord Asheron has found himself in."
Emissary of Asheron tells you, "We have found another pocket of temporal and portalspace disturbances similar to the ones located in the Iron Blade foothold in the Direlands."
Emissary of Asheron tells you, "This newer disturbance is located along a mana flow underneath the volcano on the north end of the place locally referred to as 'Freebooter Isle'."
Emissary of Asheron tells you, "Be warned, however, that this disturbance seems more powerful than the ones in the Direlands, and as it sits on a known Ley Line, the potential threat is far greater."
Emissary of Asheron tells you, "Gather strong friends, bring them all to me, so I may offer them what protections I can, and then begin your hunt."
Emissary of Asheron tells you, "Now, as to those mentioned protections..."
The Emissary of Asheron utters a single, harsh sounding word, and a tingle washes over you.
Emissary of Asheron tells you, "Find the force or entity responsible, end it. Return to me with proof, or better; a way to save my lord's people, and I'll reward you for it."
Emissary of Asheron tells you, "Any questions?"

---

Emissary of Asheron tells you, "Hello again! Have you located the source of the disturbance that is blocking my Lord Asheron's ritual from rescuing the pocket of Empyreans he has located?"
Emissary of Asheron tells you, "The main source of the disruption seems to be coming from an area under the Freebooter Isle Volcano, likely inside one of the steam vents that riddle the area."
Emissary of Asheron tells you, "Be warned, though, the portalspace disruptions in the area are massive, and my lord Asheron also believes there is a large scale temporal disturbance being shielded by the portalspace disruptions."
Emissary of Asheron tells you, "Take friends, be careful."

Killing the Virindi Apostate Master:
You split Apostate Nexus Master apart!
As the Apostate Virindi dies, a ragged, dying voice echoes in the back of your mind, "Alert our allies! The ritual is compro.m..i..."

Showing the shard to the Emissary:
You allow Emissary of Asheron to examine your Dark Apostate Shard.
Emissary of Asheron tells you, "Interesting. This is similar to the Apostate Shards being found in the area of the Iron Blade Gear Knights, but there seems to be some sort of supression effect or ward upon it."
Emissary of Asheron tells you, "Let me see what I can do about that."
You hand over 1 of your Dark Apostate Shards.
The Emissary of Asheron chants softly in an odd singsong language. After a moment, there's a faint 'pop' sound, and the shard begins to glow.
Emissary of Asheron tells you, "Ah, there we go. This should now allow you to slip through a portalspace fluxuation in the area near where you found it, and bypass the Apostate's defenses to the area it is attuned to."
Emissary of Asheron tells you, "Here you go. Don't waste time, however, as it seems somewhat unstable. Head back to the steam vents near the Freebooter Isle Volcano, find an anomoly that looks similar to the destroyed portals, and use it next to the fluxuations you see."
Emissary of Asheron gives you Glowing Apostate Shard.

Using the glowing shard near a hazy portal (random location):
The crystal glows brightly for a moment when you activate it, and a Portal appears!

Notes

• The portal is buggy and doesn't always spawn when you use the crystal. Try to lure creatures away from the hazy portal first?
