Ancient Tombs across the Dalimond Peninsula have been desecrated by the Withered Aegis. There is a very real possibility that the Tomb of Ashlander Vandus, Legendary Hero and Founder, has also been ransacked. You have been sent to Bishop Ronae il'Tor to look into the matter further.

Quest text[edit]

Ronae tells you, Good, <player>, there you are. Are you prepared? Excellent. The first action we will need to take is to determine the status of the tomb itself... if it is occupied by the undead, if you can even approach it, and so forth. Where is it located?

Ronae tells you, Right, that was to be my next answer. The tomb's location is not well known, but it is not exactly hidden. You will see! The structure is located on the southern side of this peninsula. If you leave this Tower and take the road south to South March, you can then strike directly west across the Shadowed Coast. You cannot miss the tomb, it is a large structure on the side of a hill! Is that all?

Ronae tells you, Remember, <player>, we are there to scout only! Determine the fate of the tomb and then speak with me. There's a camp not far away from the tomb that I'll meet you at so that we may plan our next step. Istara's Grace Be Yours!




Ronae tells you, You are safe! That is welcome news, <player>. I had begun to worry that perhaps ill had befallen you on your way to the Tomb, despite the fact that you are Gifted. Who knows what tricks the Withered Aegis may have come up with, eh? Now, what news of the Tomb? I found it, but there were undead surrounding it

Ronae tells you, Undead, you say? Well, that is most unfortunate, but not entirely unexpected. I assume you took care of any you came across while you were there, yes? Good, good. Well done, <player>.

Steps[edit]

  • Listen to the Bishop
  • Locate the Tomb of Ashlander Vandus to the west of South March on the Shadowed Coast
    • While you're on the way to the Tomb (21889/19614(map)), you should stop by at Pleasant Canyon and attune yourself there, since you will need to return to the tomb at a later quest.
  • Recover proof of the undead presence at the Tomb by destroying five (5) Risen Skirmishers
  • Speak with Bishop Ronae il'Tor at the camp just east of the Tomb of Ashlander near the road
