Objectives
Place shadecasters to rendezvous with the Weaver's scouts in the Umbral Bazaar, the Eastern Span, and the Twitching Gorge.
- Umbral Bazaar scouted [49.7, 20.4] / [48.7, 72.4]
- Eastern Span scouted [74.2, 74.2]
- Twitching Gorge scouted [78.7, 41.6] / [58.7, 79.2]
Description
I have eyes in every crevice of the city save for one that has... eluded me.
The Transformatory is the grounds of Ansurek's most precocious minions and treasured pets. It is where the Ascension process was developed. I've only gotten my claws on it recently, thanks to dear Y'tekhi. Much of it remains uncomfortably shrouded.
A more legs-on approach is in order. Place shadecasters to collect intel from my scouts, then meet Y'tekhi and your own spymaster Voss in a discreet corner of the district.
Rewards
You will receive:
- 23 40
- 12,200 XP
- 10x [Valorstones]
Completion
I don't like the sound of those reports. Looks like whatever they're cooking is coming to a head, right in time for us to walk in.
Don't worry. I'll let you know if we get in too deep.
Notes
On accept:
- Widow Arak'nai says: The Transformatory was a blind spot for me, until Y'tekhi breached it and achieved Ascension.
- Y'tekhi says: Mistress, you flatter me.
- Widow Arak'nai says: Scout for troubling movement in the area. Then rendezvous and prepare to infiltrate.
- Y'tekhi and Voss walk off.
Head to the City of Threads and place the first shadecaster atop the Skittering Lounge to display a brief in-engine cutscene:
Executor Nizrek: Do you see that? Nothing! Decidedly odd for the City of Threads.
Executor Nizrek: The freshly Ascended are usually flitting about the Umbral Bazzaar. Where have they gone?
Head east to the Tower of Tomes and place another shadecaster atop the tower to start another in-engine cutscene:
Widow Arak'nai: Smuggling is common enough in the city, but from the Maddening Deep? Unusual and concerning.
Widow Arak'nai: I need to know where they're taking that bile, why, and for whom.
Further east to the Blood Tower to start the third in-engine cutscene:
Anub'azal: Gathering supplies? Marching out? I've heard nothing of this!
Anub'azal: Make no mistake, this is preparation for war--and none thought to inform me. This bodes ill indeed.
Head to the Transformatory to turn in to Voss and Y'tekhi. Amusingly, Guts, Voss's mount, is resting on a statue nearby:
- Y'tekhi says: They made it. Color me impressed.
- Lilian Voss says: Don't get too comfortable. We've got a long mission ahead of us.
