Description

The little I have seen so far has given me almost no information about our enemies. We will have to take a closer look.

I can hide the both of us from sight on your command. But stay away from the dreadlords--their eyes are sharp enough to spy even a hidden huntress.

Where to go

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Knowing is Half the BattleZereth Mortis · Level 60

  • Harmony and DiscordZereth Mortis · Level 60

    These obelisks must be key to Zovaal's plans. Even without full knowledge of their purpose, we should stop the Mawsworn from meddling with them. I will bring this information to Highlord Bolvar. Head to Darion Mograine and do the same. He will need to plan his defenses around this.
