Description

This disciple... such emotion... <Eridia stares at Nikolon for a long moment.> Rarely do ascended require such rigorous cleansing, but I cannot deny what is readily apparent. This disciple will fall if I do not intervene. There is no time to lose. Come. I will instruct you. ... I only hope we are not too late.

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.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Wayward Disciple?Bastion · Level 10-51

    While you are here and as yet unaffected by this--rash of doubt, we shall call it--there is one other errand I would ask of you. I sent one of the disciples to investigate reports of the fallen fleeing our temple. For their own safety, they must be taken to the Temple of Loyalty.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Once Sweet SoundBastion · Level 10-51

    The bells! That sound! Their song has been twisted! If their dire toll continues, we will all succumb. <Eridia presses her hammer into your hands.> Find the great vespers within the temple and strike them with my hammer. May the mallet's tonal purity restore their true voices!
