Description
If we plan to revive the estate, we'll first need the keys! When Theotar was exiled to the Ember Ward, he lost all titles and property, meaning that the estate fell into the hands of another aristocrat. The new owner is a mystery to me, but household staff almost always carry keys on them as they do their business within the Old Gate. Recover the key and we'll be on our way to rebuilding the manor.

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.
- An Estate Within the Old Gate
I believe I know how we can obtain the Countess's medallion and avoid making any new enemies. Before being cast out into the Light, I held a prominent position within the Countess's court. She bestowed upon me an estate with direct access to her private chambers.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Reestablishing the Household
Unfortunately, when ownership of the estate changed hands, the staff were all displaced and forced to find new work. Some of us found suitable roles within favorable households. After all, everyone needs a sommelier! Others were not so lucky.
The storyline at a glance
Desire has 14 steps, from Medallion of Desire to Neither Enemy nor Ally.
Maps its steps are placed on (steps per map): Revendreth (13), Sinfall (1).
