Alasan's Plot

When you arrive in Tava's Blessing, you will find Alasan of the Withered Hand using the dead population as fuel for his ritual and the Ansei Ward as a focus. Upon breaking the Ward, Alasan will die and his spirit emerges to taunt you and disappear. When you collect the pieces of the broken Ward, Ansei Maja will appear within the ritual circle.

"After so many centuries, it is a wonder I can still be surprised. I could not abide the necromancer corrupting my ward, but I was powerless to stop him.
Your actions have shattered the blade—but you made the right choice. You have my gratitude."

What do we do now?

"Shattering the blade was the only way, albeit there were … consequences.
Necromantic energy was released, causing the dead of Tava's Blessing to rise. The necromancer himself is not a lich, but he has become … a powerful spirit."

So he's not dead?

"No. He cannot be slain now. There is a way, but … I am fading.
With the ward broken, my strength … wanes quickly. I will presently go to the Far Shores, unless you can reforge the blade."

How do I reforge the blade?

"We need the gods' favor … for Tava, capture the desert wind … for Morwha, get the milk of a goat … and for Zeht, gather the earth from a fallen warrior's grave.
With these elements, reforge the blade … then bring it to the Ansei Shrine."

I will do as you ask and restore your ward.

Once you have reforged the Ward and placed it on Ansei Shrine, Alasan's Soul will appear above the blade, ready to attack you.

Alasan's Soul: "You have meddled with my affairs long enough. It is time to end this."

<Ansei Maja then appears with her arms crossed.>

Ansei Maja: "Yes. The time has come to end this. This evil."

Alasan's Soul: "What are you doing here? Your ward is broken, Ansei! You are no threat to me!"

<A bubble of blue light appears around Alasan as Maja stops him.>

Ansei Maja: "Now! Take the ward and use it to trap Alasan!"

<You raise the Ward in front of you.>

Alasan's Soul: "No! What are you doing? No!"

Alasan's Soul disappears, you can then talk to Ansei Maja about what just happened.

"I feared that after all these years, my sacrifice would prove to be of no avail, but you performed admirably.
We cannot kill that necromancer, but he will trouble us no more."

What happened to Alasan?

"He became some kind of spectre, and he bound himself to my ward, but that allowed me to imprison him within it. He is … contained now.
The important thing is that the ward is restored and can again protect the Alik'r desert. For that, I thank you."

What about the third ward?

"I sense that the third ward is in the greatest peril of all.
The sibling of the necromancer who came here is far more skilled in the dark arts, far more dangerous, and far more ambitious."

I killed his brother, Uwafa at Tu'whacca's Throne.

"The sibling I speak of has not been slain, and has possession of the third Ansei Ward, but I cannot sense its location.
Despite our victory here, the Alik'r desert is still in danger. Whatever has befallen, you must recover the third ward."

Where should I start the search?

"I do not know, but trust your destiny, for it will lead you where you need to be.
First though, you must secure my ward. Find someone you can entrust with its keeping. I sense that we will meet again. May the gods watch over you until then."

Speaking to her again before you leave:

"Go on now. The blade is restored and I must rest. Take it to someone you trust to keep it safe."

She then disappears.

Restoring the Ansei Wards

Ansei Maja will appear along with Ansei Halelah and Ansei Radan once you have restored the Wards back in the Impervious Vault.

When you restore her ward, you can speak to her:

"Balance is restored. The dead can rest. The living can thrive. And we can return to our vigil."
