Side quest

Forge It Anew: Executive Order

Tantari Woods

Overview

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

1

Enter the cave

A seemingly abandoned cave... Maybe I should take a look inside?
2

Investigate the cave using Focus Mode

Judging by the mess I found inside, there was some fight in the cave. I should look around.
3

Search the camp for items from the cave

The soldiers reached the nearby cave and found something worth my attention inside. I should look for it.
4

Find the cave mentioned in the letter

The letter from Xanthe mentioned some cave near the camp. I should try to find it.
5

Search for the nest near Tantari

According to the crudely drawn map I found in the cave, there should be another silver shard in the monster's nest somewhere near Tantari.
6

Search for a sword shard near Tantari

If the map I found was accurate, I should look for one of the shards someone near Tantari.

I was able to retrieve a silver shard. I also learnt that Xanthe was interested in it.
In the end, I never followed through on this.

Wording is the quest journal's own. Every outcome the journal can record is listed — it is a branch map, not a recommendation.

Tantari Woods (2) — the journal does not attach documents to quests, so this is a place match, not a quest match.
