The Burning City
The city that for years guarded the border between the Worldwound and the rest of Golarion is no more. Kenabres has been reduced to a flaming ruin where a desperate battle is raging. Everything hangs in the balance: will the story of the crusades end here and now — or will mortalkind have one last chance for victory?
Objectives
- Help the crusaders attack the Gray GarrisonWhat was the point in getting to the surface just to end up in another bloodbath? The underground passage led straight into the Gray Garrison, where cultists and crusaders were battling for control of the old barracks. Things could be worse — though there are enemies nearby, there are allies to be found as well.
- Find the StorytellerThe crusaders are seeking the advice of a strange elf who calls himself the Storyteller. If he is still alive somewhere in the ruins of Kenabres, he must be found at all costs.
- Bring the Storyteller to the Defender's HeartThe old elf known as the Storyteller almost died in the ruins of the Blackwing Library. He is willing to help the crusaders if they bring him to safety — and the only safe place left in Kenabres is the Defender's Heart.
- Talk to Staunton
- Visit the Blackwing Library
- Talk to the Storyteller
- Find an item that can cleanse the Wardstone of corruptionThe Storyteller confirms that the Wardstone of Kenabres is corrupted. Even worse, since it is the first, crucial stone in the chain, the demons can use its corruption to affect all the other stones on the border of the Worldwound. He does not know if there is a tool that can fix this — but he insists that he will recognize the right object if it is brought to him.
- Search the place where Terendelev died
- Find a secret entrance to the Gray GarrisonThe Gray Garrison is well fortified — the crusaders made sure of that. Attacking from the front will come at a heavy cost... But what if there was a weakness in the garrison's defenses? Now the knights will be praying that they can find a flaw in their own fortifications. Funny how things turn out...
- Discuss the Gray Garrison attack plan with IrabethSwords sharpened, armor on, spells prepared, allies assembled. It's time to discuss the plan of attack with Irabeth and surge forward.
- Prevent the Wardstone from being corrupted"Everything hinges on this battle." Soldiers often hear this refrain from their commanders. It is usually a lie. Wars are not won or lost at a single stroke. After a resounding victory or a catastrophic defeat, it can take months, even years before the final victor is determined. The fate of the world is not at stake in this battle. What is at stake are the lives of the several hundred thousand people who will inexorably perish if the Worldwound expands beyond the borders of old Sarkoris. If the defenders of Kenabres lose, the war will continue... But it will do so without them.
- Return to alliesIt was a strange victory, one that delivered more questions than answers. What happened in that instant when the Wardstone flashed brighter than the sun? What did that flash presage for the hero{mf||ine}, for the city, and for the world? The truth of this will be revealed in due course. But for now, it is time to rejoin the allies and tell them of this victory.
- Ask Irabeth to start the attack on the Gray Garrison
- Show the unusual Stone Knife to the Storyteller
