Quest Group: Chapter 4 - Mastering the Source
Starting Map: Reaper's Coast
To start this quest you should talk to Paladin Thom Hardwin and accept his job. He will give you War-Owl Whistle.
We have been asked by the Paladins of the Divine Order to investigate just what the White Magisters are doing in the Blackpits region.

Reaper's Coast
We entered the Blackpits. There was no sign of White Magisters - only Voidwoken and carnage.
We have entered a heavily-guarded area. Whatever it is that the White Magisters are up to, we must be getting closer to it.
We encountered a White Magister, Jonathan, but didn't learn anything about their activities in the area. We must continue our search.
Talk to Magister Axeman.
We learned that the docks are restricted - even to the red-cloaked Magisters. We ought to try and infiltrate this area.
We have approached the docks, which are defended by Shriekers. We ought to look around - carefully.
Two White Magisters mentioned how members of the Black Ring were being used as part of their operations in the Blackpits. Perhaps we misunderstood? The Black Ring have long been the sworn enemies of the Divine Order... Either way, we will need more proof.
We have the proof we were looking for - the White Magisters have been excavating the Blackpits in search for something, and have been using the Black Ring as part of their search. We need to get this information to the Paladins.
Use War-Owl Whistle.
We dispatched a war owl with details of the Magisters' activities in the Blackpits. We should return to the Paladins when we have the opportunity.
Talk to Spirit of the Blind Guide.
From the spirit of a Black Ring prisoner, we learned that the White Magisters were using them to search the deepest caverns of the Blackpits for something very important to them. We must find out more.
We saved a group of Black Ring prisoners from being executed by the Magisters.
We saved some Black Ring prisoners from being executed by the Magisters. Not all of them survived, however.
We told the Paladins about the Magisters' activities in the Blackpits, and their involvement with the Black Ring.
The Paladins were attacked by Voidwoken as we returned for our reward. We should help them if we want to collect our reward.
The Paladins defeated the Voidwoken. We should talk to their leader, Paladin Thom Hardwin.
We did as the Paladins asked, and received our reward.
Paladin Thom Hardwin is dead. It looks like we won't be able to collect our reward from him.
We have sailed on from Reaper's Coast without having completed the Paladins' task.
