Description
Your champion discovered some sort of powerful magic emanating from the secretive Empyrean Society enclave in Azsuna. Archmage Vargoth asked me to request Meryl's aid in investigating it, but as you can see, Meryl is clearly too ill to travel at the moment. Would you be willing to go in his place? You will need to prove yourself in order to gain entrance. We should be able to find something sufficient in the Hatecoil Warcamp in Azsuna.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- An Unexpected Visitor
Archmage Vargoth's long-time apprentice, Ravandwyr, has arrived here in the Hall of the Guardian with an urgent message from his mentor. He will be waiting for you upstairs. You had best find him quickly, <name>!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Prepare To Be Assimilated
The Empyrean Society is a dangerous cult. They claim to study all magic regardless of its source, but in reality they focus mostly on the forbidden. They will welcome you to their enclave if you bring them a magical artifact.
