Description

Although she escaped, we have denied the architect her prototype... for now. This Soul Lattice is fractured, but the core within still hums with a faint energy. Perhaps this vigilant's soul yet remains... If we hurry, perhaps Veraan and her brother can help stabilize the damage to preserve it. I will regroup with Y'mera and Allari and meet you back at camp.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.
