TheWoWDBCurrently, this quest seems to be bugged. When you take this quest, Theotar does the animation of casting a shield on you, and General Draven says he will help you from the sky, but you get neither the buff, not the extra action button you are supposed to have. You can brute force the quest on certain classes where you have pets tank for you, while you train the pillars and then die, and run back and repeat, but I really hope they fix this soon. If you experience the same problem, please submit a bug for it.

Be sure to have Disloyalty quest taken as well to be able to solo this. Otherwise, you won't get the special buff and the help of Draven ^^
The best way to do this quest is using the Door of Shadows's stun, if you have Nadjia's soulsbind

Description
We can alter the crown to expunge Denathrius's corruption in the medallions. Problem, Forsworn have set large barrier protecting the temple. Only there can Denathrius's influence be truly broken. Drain the anima from the barrier's sources that power it. Barrier will disappear.

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.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Citadel of Loyalty
The medallions, the source of magic the crown focuses, are still bent to the will of Denathrius. Forge cannot solve this. Citadel of Loyalty can. Taken over by the Forsworn in recent times. If we can get the crown to the temple, we can break the loyalty to the medallion's former master.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Disloyalty
There are many enemies of Bastion here. If we thin their numbers, it will further mend the tension between our realms. Show no remorse. I will take to the skies to support from above. I will be able to provide ground support when needed.
