• For characters between levels 15 and 80, see the Asheron's Departure Lower quest.
• Tip: It's a good idea to get a tie to the Glystaene Cottages settlement portal (8.8N 60.9E). You'll be going back here several times and it will save you a lot of time.
• If you pick up the wrong item in one of the dungeons, there is a 30-minute timer for you to pick up another. So don't make a mistake. The golem inside of each dungeon will verify that you have the correct item if you attempt to give it to him.

• The Bur Portal Summoning quest can be done conveniently while doing this one.

Opening Dialog

Shan Zhen tells you, "I need to ask your help, and you may possibly even need my help. We still seek much information about Asheron before he left Dereth. The Portal Servitor Golem that kept track of Asheron's last movements prior to his departure to Bur still maintains a very tight security and refuses to divulge its master's secrets! Please travel to the Empyrean temple at 67.4N 30.5E and see if you can get the Golem to reveal what it knows!
