What to do
Description
The success of Mor'Bitan's treachery has made him complacent. Let him enjoy the feeling, for it ends here. We will lure him out with this ritual... and we will avenge my margrave. Stand with me now, {name}. Together, we will make an example of this traitor.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Seek Your Mark
I see why Draka sent you in her stead--you accomplish what she could not. We have all the pieces. Now, we must simply put them together. The steps to the ritual are simple: place our fractured crystals in formation around the obelisk. Then comes the sigil--*our* sigil.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Her Rightful Place
Mor'Bitan has met his end... and a painful one at that. Your fortitude contributed in no small part to my success. You have earned my allegiance... for the time being. There is much left to do, should you truly desire ownership of this realm. Let us regroup at the Seat.
