Quest text[edit]

<player>, I have been giving the matter of this explosion much thought. Megg Geldenboot believes that the gate malfunctioned, but I find the timing of it all just a bit too convenient, wouldn't you agree?

  • It is a highly unlikely set of circumstances.

Exactly. It is possible that it malfunctioned and exploded, of course, but how would the Welger have been ready to take advantage of that event and cross over so quickly? No, something else is at work here... I cannot prove it, but my gut says it is so. If I have learned one thing over the years, it is to trust my gut. Therefore, I would like you to investigate the explosion further and try to discern what really happened. If it turns out that it was truly a malfunction then so much the better, but if it turns out to be something else...

  • I can do that.

I knew you would. I would suggest you return to the Ruin and speak with Sergeant Gortan Silvershield. If there is anything further to be found out about the explosion, it is likely to be found there within the ruin of the city.


Good to see you again, Monk. What brings you back into these ruins?

  • Elderincus wants me to investigate the explosion and said you might know something about its cause.

The explosion? No, I'm afraid I know nothing more than what I have seen with my own eyes here in the ruin of what was once a beautiful city. Ruined buildings, destroyed lives, and rampaging Welger as far as the eye can see.

  • Is there anything or anyone else that might be of help?

No... I'm afraid not. Well, just a moment... Now that you mention it, I did spot some ghosts near the ruins of the Great Bazaar the other day. Perhaps you could investigate that for me? If the Withered Aegis are bringing more undead into the Ruin, that would most certainly be a concern for the Lieutenant and the Imperial Army.


Gortan was correct, there are a number of spirits here. However, they do not appear to be hostile. Perhaps you should try speaking with them!

What has happened to the city? To Feladan-in-exile? To me? I died, yet here I am. Some of the others are still here as well... help them, will you?
