Quest

Lord Raedric has decided to rededicate Gilded Vale's abandoned Eothasian temple to a new deity. The entrance to the temple has been cleared, allowing entry for the first time in many years.

Objectives

  1. Search the temple.
  2. Find the remains of the Eothasian priests.
  3. Return to Wirtan.

Endings

  1. Someone critically important to this quest has died.
  2. Whatever motivations Wirtan had for asking me to explore the temple, they die with him. Perhaps he'll have better luck in the next cycle.
  3. The vision I saw in the depths of the temple showed me the truth of the priests' fate. Wirtan confessed, once confronted, that he chose not to interfere when Raedric's men came to seal the temple, leaving the priests trapped inside. For his crime, I drove Wirtan from the village, under threat of reprisal should he ever return. Whatever fate has in store for him, his life in Gilded Vale is over.
  4. The vision I saw in the depths of the temple showed me the truth of the priests' fate. It seems Wirtan was responsible for leaving them trapped within the vault which proved their final resting place. I brought this information - and the remains of the priests - to the magistrate of the village. Urgeat says Wirtan will be dealt with, and rewarded me for seeing justice done.
  5. The vision I saw in the depths of the temple showed me the truth of the priests' fate. Wirtan confessed to his part in it once I confronted him. He could not say what moved him to keep silent when the temple was sealed, trapping the priests within, but the crime seems to haunt him still. I chose to let him live. Perhaps in time he can come to terms with what he has done, and make amends.
  6. I retrieved the remains of the Eothasian priests from the depths of the temple, as Wirtan requested, and delivered them into his keeping. He kept his end of the bargain, and rewarded me with a good amount of coin. Whatever else comes of all this, it's not my business.
  7. The vision I saw in the depths of the temple showed me the truth of the priests' fate, and Wirtan was quick to confess once confronted. Cowardice or malice drove him to keep his silence, and neither is sufficient excuse for his crime. Perhaps the spirits of those priests will find some resolution in the death of their betrayer.
  8. The vision I saw in the depths of the temple showed me the truth of the priests' fate. It seems Wirtan was responsible for leaving them trapped within the vault which proved their final resting place. I slew the man for his crime, and brought the remains of the priests to the magistrate of the village. Perhaps the spirits can return to the cycle, now that their betrayer has been revealed.
  9. The vision I saw in the depths of the temple showed me the truth of the priests' fate, and Wirtan's part in it. Whatever reasons he had for sending me down to explore the temple, they die with him.
  10. I changed my mind about letting Wirtan live, and slew him on the spot.
