The Old Watcher

Quests

Type: Main quest

The spirit of Caldara de Berranzi, one of Lord Raedric's unfortunate victims, has directed me towards Caed Nua, where I will find a man named Maerwald. Caldara has informed me that I have become something known as a "Watcher," and that this Maerwald is a Watcher as well. Perhaps he can tell me more about what's happening to me.

Caed Nua is southeast of Gilded Vale, past the Black Meadow. I will have to travel there if I am to speak with Maerwald.

Objectives

Travel to Caed Nua.
Enter the Keep.
Find Maerwald.

Endings

Maerwald grew hostile after our conversation, and suddenly attacked me. I had no choice but to kill him. He has given me much to think about. He suggested my soul had been Awakened to past lives, as his had. If Maerwald is any indication, being a Watcher with an Awakened soul comes with a heavy price. He has directed me towards the "city of defiance," which seems as good a place as any to seek out members of the Leaden Key - the group which awoke this affliction within me.
