Detailed Walkthrough

The Battle Rages On

When first entering Cloud Ruler Temple's Great Hall, you will hear a disembodied voice warning you: "You, there! This is a warzone! What are you doing here? Fine. If you won't leave... go. Find Alina. Tell her we need her at the front - immediately!" It appears there are still spirits of the Temple's previous inhabitants roaming around the ruins, reliving the famous battle when the Dominion crushed the Blades during the Great War. Head to the East Wing and you'll find Alina's skeleton lying near the top of the stairs.

The spectral voice will thunder again, surprised that Alina is dead and instructing you to meet him in the West Wing, armed with Glenroy's katana. Head down into the armory to claim the blade and then cross over to the West Wing. Here you will find Raaslan's ghost, who charges off towards the Great Hall and his companion Corvon. Once he sees Corvon's skeleton, he will bemoan the deaths of his friends, at which point you'll have to break it to him that he is also dead.

Peace At Last

Raaslan is shaken by the realization that Cloud Ruler Temple is destroyed and his order is no more, and asks you for a final kindness. In order to release their souls, you will need to gather the katanas of each Blade and plunge them into the fire now burning in the Great Hall. You will find Alina's and Corvon's underneath their bodies, and Raaslan's next to his skeleton in the Armory. Once you have all of them, return to the hall, where the three ghostly Blades are assembled, and place the blades in the fire. Raaslan will speak to you one last time, thanking you and entrusting you with Glenroy's empowered katana, now infused with his own soul.

Notes

• Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the Radiant Quest system, and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.
• Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
• Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
• If an entry is marked as "Finishes Quest" it means the quest disappears from the Active Quest list, but you may still receive new entries for that quest.
• On the PC, it is possible to use the console to advance through the quest by entering setstage CYRCloudRulerFF01 stage, where stage is the number of the stage you wish to complete. It is not possible to un-complete (i.e. go back) quest stages, but it is possible to clear all stages of the quest using resetquest CYRCloudRulerFF01.
