...

An evil ritual is being performed at the following locations: at the Raven Altar in the Susurrus Woods, and in the Sanctum of Resurrection in Amena Quatla... You must be a stop to the ritual in both of these places.

The ritual at the pillar of blood on the Raven Altar will claim a lot of victims especially...

There's a town called Dragonfall nearby. , please also hunt down the kidnappers...

Isrenia's ghosts warned you that Thulsa and Killian were planning to use demonic magic to resurrect Sikander in Kelsaik's body.

You immediately set out to the Raven Altar to stop the ritual. The Mekonari were kidnapping people in the Susurrus Woods and building a pillar of blood for the ritual...

Yedwin
The mekonaris cleaned out Susurrus Woods. Human, amani, baraka...it didn't matter.

They herded droves of people down the east road, even the children. We sent all we could to Camp Umbra—they're in charge of rescuing the abductees—but they're still severely outnumbered. Head through Nightwood and take out any mekonari hunters and ebonweavers you encounter. Maybe then we'll have fewer abductees on our hands. Speak with Arshak when you arrive, he'll tell you all he knows.

Arshak
? Kaia's grace, I'm glad you're here. You know a lot already, but let me fill in the rest.

Arshak
Hunters and ebonweavers are crossing Nightwood on their way to snatch more victims! Don't let 'em past you!

Arshak
The mekonaris think that all the blood they have spilt honoring Sikander will wake him up to cheerfully reward them. Idiots. But there's worse. The ritual Killian gave them rips the sacrificed souls from the Dream. Unspeakable!

The mekonari believe this will draw Sikander home, but surely it will poison his mind!



Arshak
He wants to wake Sikander and drive him insane? You must stop them!

The mekonari templars and dedicants run the rituals, but there are other threats. Killian's dumped his whole blasted toybox on Susurrus Woods. And we've had no luck so far using the altar teleportal. There must be some sort of key. Find it, and destroy the altar. Got all that?

Pile of Villager's Bones
(The bones come in all sizes and races—human skulls mingle with popori tail bones, amani and castanic horns are piled together. It seems no one was spared.)

(Horrifyingly, the remains are all inscribed with runes. You sincerely hope the sigils were carved after their owners' deaths.)(Suddenly you feel an eerie prickling on the back of your neck.)

Anguished Phantasm
(A voice fades in and out, as if carried on the wind over an enormous distance.)

Drowning in pain...nothing else...can you hear us?...all the gods you must...So much effort, but...show you where...

Anguished Phantasm
...touched you, so...teleportal will open...

...pain, so much pain!

Tell our families...can't hold...

Arshak
You did it! But I'm worried about the sikandari you saw at the altar.



Arshak
The mekonaris are apostates. They'd pay any cost to wake Sikander early, but sikandaris are patient, honorable. I assumed they were our allies. This kind of atrocity isn't like them.

If Thulsa's duped the sikandaris, you better get moving!

Ask Yedwin, Explorer Guild Master of Dragonfall, about the kidnapping.
Wipe out the mekonari hunters and ebonweavers in the Nightwood that are kidnapping people there.
(You can use the teleportal in the town to travel to Camp Umbra.)
