Description

I had only heard tales of the Ember Ward before now.

It's breathtaking... yet terrible.

The Light burns the venthyr here, scorching their flesh and driving them mad.

The only reprieve is darkness, but thugs have taken over every inch of shelter outside of this sanctuary.

There is no redemption for them. Only justice.

Don't be foolish like me and run along the top road looking for these, there are only a few there. The majority are hiding in the buildings in the shade on the lower levels. I didn't see any at first but the more you move along the more you will see.

Make sure you start Actions Speak Louder than Words before starting this as [npc=161553] who will need to be escorted will take you along the path you need to go in order to reach where these mobs are. You can either fight them alongside the way to the objective or wait until you escort the npc and then circle back around and slay any that you still need. You'll be needing to slay either [npc=162044] or [npc=162035] in order to get credit.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Actions Speak Louder than WordsBastion · Level 60

    <The ash ghoul inspects you, checking your weapons and armor closely. He shifts his eyes from you to your kyrian companions before checking back in with Theotar, who nods to him. Alwin motions for you to follow him.>

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Light RespiteBastion · Level 60

    We passed many ash ghouls on the way here, screaming in pain from their Light-dispensed burns. And after meeting Alwin and the others here, my heart aches for them. They have lost much of who they once were, and suffer daily for it. Please, collect some berries from the Ashen Traverse.
