The Lantern of Gaun Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Quest

Group: Companion Side Quests

This quest will appear in your journal as soon as Xoti joins your team.

Xoti is chasing Eothas throughout the Deadfire while striving to fulfill her purpose to Gaun. Apparently a wayward Child of the Dawnstars, she's asked me to help her shepherd the souls of the dead. But her duty may come with a price.

Note: Currently, this page contains raw quest data only. I know that it is not much, and I will try to update it with more valuable information as soon as possible.
