Quest Text

There’s something I should’ve told you long before now, but… Couldn’t. That journal we’ve been following it wasn’t just pulled from some ruin. It belonged to my great-grandfather’s great grandfather. Orlen Varnholt.

He found this place during the fall of havensong, when the Revenant were tearing cities apart. While others fled, Orlen ran toward the Enclave. And it changed him. He took in their rites, breathed their language. Bound himself to something ancient. Maybe he died. maybe he didn’t.

But the writing is too sharp. Too current. Like he knows what we’ll find, like he never left. It’s as if he’s writing in the pages of the journal NOW. He wants us to unlock what’s sealed away. But if I keep going, I fear I’ll end up like him.

The amulet I wear is Orlen’s. It’s laced with enchantments I barely understand, but they’ve kept me tethered. And now? It’s slipping. There’s an elf. Enchanter Lothira. She’s an outcast, in Sorhiryth. Take her the amulet. And tell her… I’m running out of time.

Hand-in Dialog(beware: possible spoilers)

Lothira

What are you carrying that caused them to attack you like that?

Oh, I see… Eldrin is lucky this amulet hasn’t unraveled him yet.

This will take a moment. Give me the amulet and then speak to me again.

There. It is done. Take this back to Eldrin, and quickly.

And tell him some secrets maybe be best left buried.

Eldrin Varnholt

Ministry dogs… of course they came. Valori may play coy, but don’t doubt for a minute it was him.

But more importantly, you brought the amulet back. And it still resonates… it’s still his.

He may have vanished into the smoke, but I’m not ready to follow. Not yet. Not while this amulet still burns with whatever clarity I have left.

You’ve done more than bring me a relic. You’ve given me time. And maybe, just maybe, a way to end this differently than he did.

Now… on to more pressing matters. We’re one step closer to discovering whatever the Barren Queen sealed behind those doors.

Le me decipher the next passage.

After quest" A Fractured Past" QUEST: "To Rebind the Voice" Find the Ashen Wraps, used to bind the dead. Find the Breathchar Stone, to remember the fire. Find the Dragonbone Prayer Beads, to invoke the blessing. Complete the Ritual to rebind the Journal. Quest Starter Eldrin Varnholt Quest Hand-in Eldrin Varnholt Next quest after "To Rebind the Voice" is "The Name That Burns" - Obtain the final gemstone from "Zarith the Engraver" Next quest after "The Name that Burns" is "End Game" "His voice is thin now. Strained, like he's fighting to say conscious. Ash creeps along his veins, his eyes rimmed with soot.] The Journal's writing again....glyphs sharper than ever. Urgent. Almost frantic. I think... I think Orlen wants this finished. And maybe so do I. Before I lose what's left of me. [He exhales a shuddering breath.] The next passage speaks of a Warden. A Sentinel bound by ash and flame. Sationed before the great doors. The Journal calls it "The hand that steadies the final breath." It also says this: 'That which steadies must be unbound, and the five drawn to its heart." My quess? This Sentinel holds something the gems will... answer to. Without it, those doors stay shut. [His gaze sharpens, for a moment. Looking more like the explorer than fading man.] The Sentinel is Everburned and no doubt their strongest. They trusted it to guard this final threshold. Be ready. You've fought hard to come this far, but this one may be waiting to die for its charge. EXP 120000 2gold 46 silver 40 copper. (Defeat the Everburned outside the Great doors) (Retrieve the Spine of Binding.) then it's the quest "The Shape of the Lock"
