What remains of the capital guard is fighting off bandit shadows near Oleg's Trading Post. We must defeat the enemy and return our soldiers to the King's banners! The liberation of Oleg's Trading Post will surely lift a part of the Lantern King's curse.
In Varnhold, Maegar Varn is fighting Vordakai's shadow, which appeared from the broken cup! We must help him! The liberation of Varnhold will surely lift a part of the Lantern King's curse.
Vordakai is fighting the shadow of Maegar Varn, who has come to take revenge on the frightening cyclops near the walls of Varnhold. We must help our undead ally! The liberation of Varnhold will surely lift a part of the Lantern King's curse.
There is a battle being waged between Brevoy's army and the shadows of fallen barbarians on the Flintrock Grassland. Helping our Brevic allies will surely lift a part of the Lantern King's curse.
Oh, that King Irovetti! You just can't have too many limericks about him! His shadow escaped the cup and decided to take up reign in Pitax again. We must stop him and protect our governor! The liberation of Pitax will surely lift a part of the Lantern King's curse.
Bartholomew has been abducted by troll shadows, but he might still be alive! We must search the former troll lair!
Tsanna, the priestess of Lamashtu, went to the Shrine of her goddess, to seek help and perform her bloody rituals. She might need help in the insanity that's ensued!
Gather Apology fragments for the Storyteller
Our invaluable colleague, the blind Storyteller, has discovered a way to weaken the malicious Lantern King! First, we need to find the fragments of Nyrissa's cup, the Apology, and deliver them to the Storyteller. They must be somewhere in the city...
We found the first fragment and brought it to the Storyteller
The second fragment was found and delivered to the Storyteller
It's all done — we found the third fragment and gave it to the Storyteller!
Defeat the Lantern King
The Eldest has settled in our capital — right in the royal residence! To watch the performance, as he put it. Hell no! We'll get him sooner or later!
From the three Eldest, Nyrissa and the King learned that the curses put on them by the Lantern King can be reversed to target him. Nyrissa is preparing the curse, but first we'll need to defeat the Eldest in battle!
We must hurry!
The kingdom is crumbling, and its king is dying along with it. We don't have much time left!
