Ara'lon ^{[43.2, 40.0]}
Ara'lon ^{[41.1, 31.5]}
XP: 9,450

Rewards:

25 74

Objectives

Locate the missing hunters in Blackthorn Grove.

• Azelor found ^{[41.4, 35.5]}
• Taeras found ^{[42.5, 32.2]}
• Nera found ^{[41.1, 33.8]}
• Gweyir found ^{[41.1, 31.5]}
•  [Disguise Mask] (provided)

Description

These disguises will allow us to explore the grove undetected, but beware of the overseers. Their Drust magic will more than likely be able to pierce through our deception.

We need to save the rest of my hunting party while we still can.

Rewards

You will receive:

• 25 74
• 9,450 XP
•  [Emblem of Renown]

Progress

The Drust have taken so much from us...

Completion

Gweyir is the only survivor... but she's already been afflicted by the Drust's cursed magic.

We can't just leave her here. Not like this!

Notes

On accept:

Ara'lon says: Don the mask when you are ready. We must find the others.

Use the provided  [Disguise Mask], then head back in. All of the possessed fae will be neutral, but be wary of the elite Blackthorn Subjugators, who have truesight:

Ara'lon says: The entire grove has been possessed! Take care not to be unmasked.

Head north to find Azelor, who did not make it, outside the cages of some other captives:

Ara'lon says: Azelor... I feared as much. He deserved better than this...

Further north is Nera, inside a small cave, before a Drust altar, also lost:

Ara'lon says: Nera was the fiercest among us. She would never have knelt to the Drust.

Outside to the northeast is Taeras, who continues the trend of being found dead:

Ara'lon says: Taeras... night embrace you, old friend.

Due west inside a cave, is a Cage that contains Gweyir:

Ara'lon says: Gweyir! She yet breathes! But... what have they done to her?

Beta version

The subject of this section did not make it out of the beta stages.

Description

Now that we have a disguise we can explore Blackthorn Grove more deeply and search for the others. Be careful around the overseers. Even though the Possessed will not recognize you as an outsider, the Drust will most likely see through your disguise if you get too close. We need to find the rest of my hunting party and bring them back alive if at all possible.
