Quest Group: The Beast of Winter

I've discovered an ancient realm of massive adra pillars encased in copper and stone - reflections of the Engwithan machines I've encountered before. A woman's spirit, flickering and faint, stands shackled near the entrance.

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.

Quest stages of The Endless Queries

1. Search the Endless Queries for motes of the shackled soul's essence.

The abused spirit has been trapped here by an Engwithan inquisitor. She believes she can lead me to her tormentor, but only if I can find the pieces of her soul that have been taken from her. I should search the area for clues to her predicament.

2. Provide the mote of essence to the shackled soul.

A trial within a column of adra left me with a mote of spiritual essence. If I give it to the imprisoned spirit, it may improve her condition.

Updates:

I brought the shackled spirit a Mote of Regret.

I brought the shackled spirit a Mote of Hostility.

I brought the shackled spirit a Mote of Conviction.

3. Locate another mote of the shackled soul's essence.

The spirit imprisoned here responded well to the first mote I gave her, but she's still far from able to help me with the inquisitor, much less Neriscyrlas. I should search another adra pillar for more fragments of her being.

4. Provide the second mote to the shackled soul.

A second trial left me with a second mote of spirit stuff. The imprisoned spirit will surely benefit from it.

Updates:

I brought the shackled spirit a Mote of Regret.

I brought the shackled spirit a Mote of Hostility.

I brought the shackled spirit a Mote of Conviction.

5. Locate a final mote of the shackled soul's essence.

The spirit imprisoned here seems close to regaining her full faculties. Giving her a third mote of essence may be all I need to free her from this prison.

6. Give the third mote to the shackled soul.

A third trial provided a third sliver of spiritual power. It could be the last the spirit needs to fully recover.

Updates:

I brought the shackled spirit a Mote of Regret.

I brought the shackled spirit a Mote of Hostility.

I brought the shackled spirit a Mote of Conviction.

7. Confront Inquisitor Naxiva at the core of the Endless Queries.

I've freed the soul from her shackles, but she still seems unsure of her own past. She has promised to lead me to the inquisitor at the center of this realm, however, should I want to confront the Engwithan responsible for so much suffering.

8. Speak to the shackled soul.

If I'm to learn the purpose of this realm, I'll need to find a spirit willing to speak with me. The woman shackled near the entrance may be able to help.

9. Endings

I helped Naxiva ix Kirent face herself, and she agreed to aid me against the dragon Neriscyrlas in exchange.

I helped Naxiva ix Kirent face herself. She has joined her spirit to my own, and I will guide her back to the Wheel.

I helped Naxiva ix Kirent face herself before consigning her to the White Void's oblivion.

I fought and destroyed both Inquisitor Naxiva and the shackled soul.
