Description
There are many consoles such as that one scattered throughout Zereth Mortis. They have all been beyond my understanding, but perhaps that creature intends to reveal their meaning to us? Fortunately, I know where there are more. I will mark them on your map, and accompany you... for research, of course. Let us see what this creature's purpose is.
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.
- Now You May Speak
You truly brought me an oracle! Intact even! I have never known these divine beings to speak to anyone but automa. There is so much we could learn from her about Zereth Mortis. You must tell me everything!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Cyphers of the First Ones
The way is not quite clear, but the first steps have been made. It seems the divine construct has taken more of a liking to you than to me. Now that it has given you the beginnings of understanding, see what else it wishes to show you. The results should be enlightening.
