Robe of Calcified Tears, Torturer's Fleshwoven Leggings, Paingiver Wristguards, 21g, 5,150 XPDescription
It's time for us to utterly demoralize the Onslaught forces! I want you to take the rod and use it on four of their leaders: Commander Jordan upstairs at the barracks, Lead Cannoneer Zierhut down the southeast ramp overlooking the beach, Blacksmith Goodman at the smithy, and Stable Master Mercer at the stables. Place them under the rod's compulsion, concentrate on making them denounce the Onslaught, and then kill them!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Rod of Compulsion
A rod drops from Alphonse's dead hand. There are pulsing magical runes along its length. Could this be how he was getting his confessions? Better let the high executor have a look at it.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Fall From Grace
We need more information from the high abbot, and now that we have the visage of one of the raven priests, I think we can get you close to talk with him. Unfortunately, we need to separate him from his bodyguards or you'll never get any information out of him.
