Rewards25g 74s, 8,150 XP
Description
Good to know the old bear hasn't forgotten me. Unfortunately, neither have the Drust. I was enjoying a peaceful afterlife before they showed up. Do not bother trying to force open this cage. You can only unlock it with three separate keys, and each one is held by a different Drust commander. They should be somewhere nearby. Find them.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Searching the Grove
It is clear that a struggle took place here. I fear that Kivarr may have been taken by the Drust. I scouted the surrounding area before you arrived. Eventide Grove has been overrun. The Drust cannot have taken her far. We may yet be able to find her. I just pray that we are not too late...
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Swift Intervention
The Drust just took Kivarr away. They said they were going to sacrifice her in one of their rituals! If we hurry, you may still be able to save her! I've seen where the Drust keep their sacrificial altar... it's scary, but I can take you there! There's no time to waste! Follow me!
