What to do
Description
Buri? Vyranoth? Once she left us at the mercy of Fyrakk, we had no choice but to follow him. I do not know what his plan is, but he ordered me and these Primalists to bring down this barrier. We have made little progress, but Vyranoth will want us to slow him down. Some fragments of the barrier have chipped away. If you collect them, we can channel their energy back into the shield. Can I trust you to undo the damage that I have done?

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Assault on the Wellspring
Terro gave his life to protect the Dream. Which means we must see it through. Vyranoth should be able to handle Lethka, we must find Suzska. I hope Lethka did not attack her first. We should start looking near the Wellspring. Meet me there so we can continue our search.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Power, Eruption, and Lies
Buri told me that Lethka plans to ignite Cinder Summit, and Vyranoth pursued her. Lethka revealed herself because she knew that Vyranoth would go after her. The power in Cinder Summit can destroy this barrier, or Vyranoth. We have to go after them.
