Ok, I have to say it. You just rang the bell earlier and the Paragons just magically popped in, why would you have to run around to THEIR temples and tell them what to do?

Because the designers love time consuming quests in this xpac.

Also, be nice if the story explained what a Watcher, Bearer, Collector, etc is.

Previous Quest: Convene the Paragons

Coordinate information is at the bottom.

After picking up the quest you will either make your way to the Temple of Purity or use your teleport pad (if you have Level 2 unlocked) where you will find [npc=162889]. Once here you will need to click on 3x[object=334849] which will help restore [npc=162889]. After [npc=162889] is restored you will need to head over to her to talk to her and choose the dialog "We need our Watcher's aid in battle."

Your next stop will be Xandria's Vigil which you can get to by using the teleporter pad you just left or making your way to the flight master and traveling there. Once here you will need to talk to [npc=162904] and choose the dialog "We need the Bearers at the Temple of Loyalty."

Next stop is The Eternal Forge where you will need to meet with [npc=162888] and choose the dialog "We need our Centurions in battle.".

The next stop is The Eonian Archives where you will need to find [npc=170061] and choose the dialog "I am with you." Once you have done this [npc=170064] will spawn that you have to defeat. Upon defeating [npc=170064], [npc=162907] will lower to the ground where you talk to them and click the dialog "We need the Collectors for the battle ahead."

Now that all your forces are gathered you'll be heading to the Court of Elation to meet [npc=164473] to turn the quest in.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Convene the ParagonsLevel 60

    We have defeated the Forsworn at every turn. Saved those not too far gone. Routed them from our blessed Archon's temples. Now only one remains. The Temple of Loyalty. Lysonia has grown desperate in defeat. Abandoned all we strive to uphold by embracing the Maw.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Greater GoodLevel 60

    The Forsworn are our former brothers and sisters in arms...our former kin. But we must see this through. We will hit them from all sides. Fight well, but do not forget that Lysonia is our ultimate objective. If she does not fall, then she will recruit more to their cause in time.

The storyline at a glance

The Bell Tolls has 6 steps, from Convene the Paragons to Our Realm Reclaimed.
