I don’t understand why Marat reacted with such fury. Should I follow him and find out what’s truly driving him?

Svartrau City

After I caused him a lot of trouble and showed that I'm not a man to be trifled with, Brencis decided to invite me to a parley. It was supposed to take place in the Shrike's Crag – where Skender once quelled an uprising against his reign. A trap? Maybe. But it could be an opportunity to save my family...

Explore the ruins beneath Carpenter Row and recover the ancient warrior's armour. The Ancient Key opens the ruins, while the optional Hand of Fate chest needs a Stone Key from the cathedral treasury. Return to Florin if you accepted his trial, or follow the exit objective after finding the armour.

Confronting and defeating Brencis without anyone's help will be risky, but not impossible. With a bit of luck, I may be able to surprise the vrakhir – and finally make him answer for everything he's done to us.

Vale Sangora

The history of Vale Sangora is full of secrets and uncertain records of the past. Who knows – perhaps while searching for ways to save my family and defeat Brencis, I'll be able to unearth something that will prove useful in the upcoming fight?

The uriashi Bakr Clan was led by a wise and pragmatic Elder – but she couldn't do everything by herself. In fact, she asked me to look into something. As it turned out – I was about to get into some really private affairs...

Tantari Woods

There is a particular shop in Svartrau that people like to gossip about – it's said to be full of weird baubles and peculiar items. I decided to see it for myself – if only to satiate my own curiosity. Little did I know that it would make me a part of a long and bloody investigation...

Svartrau City

We were in the fields, working – a day like any other. Then things took a turn for the worse.

Rockfalls

Bakir sent out his soldiers after the manumits. Should they go missing, the rebel cause will benefit...

The man I freed from Bakir's pillories is an old knight who claims to know a thing or two about swordsmanship. Let's see if he can teach me what he knows.

The Silts · 2 givers

Nothing like publicly humiliating captives to scare your subjects – and keep them amused. I should put an end to this display of cruelty – and send Bakir a message.

Bakir's men are transporting something – and it'd be in my interest if they never reached their destination.

Rockfalls

Vale Sangora

Bakir's men claimed to have hidden the gold they were supposed to hand over to the uriashi – and told me where to look in return for their lives. Time to see if it's really there... or if I got played.

Rockfalls

I found a map pointing to a tree grove in Boar's Back. Why would someone mark that place?

Boar's Back

I found a map with a location marked on it. Does it mean what I think it does?

I found a map with a location marked on it. Could it be pointing to someone's secret stash?

Laslea Glen

I found a map pointing to a place near a river fork. Something tells me there might be a hidden stash there.

The Silts

A map, a place marked with an 'X'... If that doesn't have 'treasure' written all over it, I don't know what does.

Rockfalls

In a bandit camp I found a map. It points to a specific place – in Rockfalls, I think.

The Silts

I found a map with a marked location. It looks promising.

Together with Anca, I managed to find the forbidden books deep below the haunted convent. Now I have to see if they hold the answers I seek.

St. Tyna's Grove

Someone stole the banner Gremla was weaving on Brencis's request. The knyaz will be furious when he finds out...

Laslea Glen

I realise that I hardly know my father – even though I've known him my whole life. He hardly ever talks about his past... But it seems like it's catching up with him.

Maragir Wealds

Looks like there's conflict brewing underground – over a certain burrow. Should I get involved?

Boar's Back

Looks like the sanzhani have another problem for me to solve. Question is, do I have the time?

The Silts

I found fresh flowers on top of an old, forgotten grave... Something off about it.

In this world it's not always certain that a message will reach its recipient... as I found out once while travelling through a forest.

Tantari Woods

Anca claims the forbidden books held at St. Tyna's contain ancient wisdom I need in order to defeat the vrakhiri. Problem is, the convent isn't the safe haven it used to be...

St. Tyna's Grove

I stumbled upon a seemingly abandoned attic in one of the buildings in Svartrau. Who knows what I'll find inside?

Svartrau City

The house by the path to the peat bogs looks abandoned... And yet, there are sounds coming from inside it. Curious... And potentially worth a look.

Laslea Glen

I stumbled upon a seemingly abandoned building in Svartrau. Maybe I should investigate?

Svartrau City

It’s time to infiltrate Greifberg. We’ll enter through a secret tunnel and strike at Brencis, while Catalin’s troops keep him busy with a false siege. The castle falls before dusk!

All regions · 6 givers

I found a map that contains clues on how to find... well, I don't know what exactly. But it might be worth the search.

In my search for any advantage in my fight with Brencis, I stumbled upon a really unique weapon...

While travelling through the valley, I found a hidden trail marked by a hand symbol. Where does it lead?

Maragir Wealds

While travelling near Tantari, I stumbled into a rather interesting situation.

A dark and gloomy cave... Of course I have to take a look inside.

Isbrand, Brencis's maker, had been locked in the caves for two years. We have to find him and talk about any weaknesses Brencis might have.

Rockfalls

I'm back home? But how? It's impossible. I don't understand!

The Silts

I have a feeling something bad has happened in the woods by the peat bogs. Maybe I should take a closer look?

Laslea Glen

Find the building marked with Saint Tobias's hand near the Western Gate, then descend to Florin's meeting place beneath Carpenter Row. His invitation follows a daytime confession at the cathedral; discovering the locked house and searching the ambushers for its key offers another starting lead.

I found a wolves's den – and there's a body inside it...

Laslea Glen

Svartrau City

My father insists we practise sword fighting. We haven't done that in ages. Something is up.

Laslea Glen

Dad told Yanna and the kids to go catch some trout. Maybe I should help them out? Yanna hates baiting the hooks.

Laslea Glen

While wandering through a swampy piece of secluded land, I discovered something that caught my attention...

St. Tyna's Grove

It's time. Together with Lacra we're going to put an end to Brencis's foul ritual and his rule.

Rockfalls

Seems I'm not the only one looking for something in this cursed place. I came across some of Brencis's men, sent here to retrieve St. Tyna's necklace. They offered to open up a safe passage to the library in exchange for the relic. Something to think about.

All regions · 1 giver

Strange sounds can be heard in cathedral's courtyard at night. What causes them?

Svartrau City

While travelling through the forest, I found traces of bloodshed. It looked like there'd been a hunt... but the truth was a bit more complicated than that.

I've found none other than Vladimir in the manumit ranks. It could be nice to talk with him again.

Svartrau City

Iorgu's pig ran away from her pen, and I was asked to bring her back.

Laslea Glen

We found Brencis's maker in horrible shape – he couldn't answer any of our questions. Lacra is trying to help him. Hopefully, soon he'll be able to give us something helpful in defeating the knyaz.

The Silts · 2 givers

Anca suggested we make the best of the weather and go back to practising my Latin.

Laslea Glen

There's something going on in this forest – something intriguing. Might be worth stepping off the beaten track...

Boar's Back

Vale Sangora

The plan is simple. First, we seize Eastridge Outpost and let Catalin’s troops in. Only then do we move on Greifberg.

Svartrau City

Blood Mass is tonight – and Knyaz Brencis and his retinue will be at the church to oversee the collection of tithes. We're worried about Mum. Vrakhiri don't look kindly on the weak.

Laslea Glen

According to Mert, a girl named Sara is the contact for the manumits. However, she may have already been captured by soldiers at the rendezvous point in the nearby woods.

Briar Sloughs

What happened? I'm alive – but how? Did Brencis turn me or not? And where's my family? I need to find them, and soon.

Laslea Glen · 1 giver

Vasil is picking on me again. I've just about had it.

Laslea Glen

We know where the uriash village is and how to get there. We should head on over there and ask their Elder about the whereabouts of Isbrand, Brencis's sire. He may know the knyaz's weaknesses we can use when we strike.

Rockfalls

It's not the best idea to venture alone into the forests of Vale Sangora – but as it turns out, the animals and other things are not always the biggest threat out there.

Maragir Wealds

The Font of Life is deeper down the ruined complex – we know that for sure now. We also know that in order to reach it, we'll have to pass some sort of trials.

St. Tyna's Grove

When I entered the Stoneward Post, my weapons were taken from me. I need to reclaim them.

All regions

The mountains surrounding Parlita are known to be dangerous, some even say they're haunted. People have kept disappearing there over the years, and almost everyone knows someone who went there and never returned.

Boar's Back

A fresco and key in the underground ruins point to an ancient champion's shrine elsewhere in Vale Sangora. You can find the shrine first and search for its key afterward. Open the shrine, confront its guardian and search the chamber for the champion's sword.

Svartrau City

Many spine-chilling stories have been told about the mountains surrounding Vale Sangora. One of them concerns Knyaz Skender's lost treasure, rumoured to remain somewhere near a certain broken bridge to this day...

Rockfalls

The manumits. I've heard this name before – they are a group of rebels who challenge Brencis's rule in the valley. Elusive and secretive, they won't be easy to find...

Briar Sloughs

It seems Ambrus has tired of my interrupting his plans – I should see what he intends to do about it.

Maragir Wealds

While travelling around Svartrau, I paid a visit to a secluded farm on the outskirts of the city...

Svartrau City

While in Svartrau, I met a young uriashi girl named Ocha. She was far from home and in the middle of something really dangerous. So of course I got entangled in this whole mess...

Svartrau City · 1 giver

The plague made abandoned houses a common sight throughout Vale Sangora. But one such hovel caught my attention...

The Silts

The mountains of Rockfalls are among the most unforgiving parts of Vale Sangora. They're home to the uriashi, and humans hardly go there these days. But it wasn't always so...

Rockfalls

I was approached by an odd man named Farkas. He claims to be Bakir's servant and that he could help me slay his master.

Vale Sangora · 2 givers

Lacra wants to discuss a mysterious matter with me – supposedly, she knows of something more that could help our fight against Brencis.

The Silts · 2 givers

On my travels, I stumbled upon a disturbing picture – the site of an unfinished ritual and a dead body. What the hell happened? And should I investigate or run away as far as possible?

The Silts

Now that Bakir has been dealt with, there's the matter of the ring that Farkas asked me to recover from the treasury.

The Silts · 2 givers

It's weird to be back in Laslea after everything that's happened – but here I am. Winter is upon us and I need to make some preperations. And then I have to take care of one more thing...

Laslea Glen

I heard something strange in one of Svartrau's shops – something that felt out of place. Might be worth checking it out.

Svartrau City

People say that it's never a good idea to go towards the sound of shouting. But when I overheard some commotion in an alley in Svartrau, my curiosity was piqued.

Svartrau City

Mert was caught by the soldiers and taken to Stoneward Post for questioning. I need to speak with him, maybe help him get out of there… But it won’t be easy. The place is heavily guarded.

Briar Sloughs

I was able to persuade Vicho that he should keep on living. However, now it's my responsibility to provide him with blood.

Vale Sangora has a long history of violence and tragedy. Seeking out the blood-soaked places could tell me more about what happened here.

Maragir Wealds

I stumbled upon a seemingly abandoned workshop in Svartrau. Who knows what I'll find inside?

Svartrau City

Crake wishes to work with me to uncover what sort of monsters Brencis is creating.

Svartrau City

That gargoyle… Someone must have created it for Brencis. We need to discover who.

Svartrau City

I stand ready to join the manumits. Their leader will likely assign me some tasks before we can fight Brencis together.

Svartrau City

Anca says she found something interesting in the books we took from the convent – something that could help me with my quest. I should ask her about that when I have the time.

St. Tyna's Grove

The infamous mage, Aurelius holds the book we need, and Marat has already told me where to find his tower. Time to go.

Laslea Glen

During the night, I was able to get into an abandoned residential attic. Who knows what I'll find inside?
