Detailed Walkthrough

Near the wayshrine in Gideon, you'll find Faric Gemain. He's disgruntled about his treatment by members of the nearby Temple of Dibella, who have rebuffed his attempts to clear the name of his grandmother, Cerise. They believe she murdered a temple priestess, Rolaine. Despite the testimony of Cerise's husband, Lierre, the Dibellites refuse to listen. Faric wants your help finding proof of Cerise's innocence.

Escort Faric inside the temple and head upstairs. He'll give you a memory stone, which a Telvanni mage told him needed to be brought back to the location where the memory was originally recorded. The mage also mentioned that this stone was incredibly valuable, raising the question as to how Cerise (a woman of modest means) came to own it.

The memory stone triggers a memory mote

Heading back downstairs to begin the investigation, you'll find a memory mote floating in one of the rooms. Use the Memory Stone to see the memory it recorded. The memory revealed seems to indicate an unknown assassin attacked a temple member and looted her body for something. Faric reveals there was a conspiracy rumored about several of the novices at the temple. Several of them disappeared prior to the murder of Rolaine. Perhaps this murder is related and could explain the disappearances. Heading back upstairs, trigger another memory mote to reveal a second murder of a member of the temple.

Hidden door revealed

On the third floor, a memory mote reveals the assassin used a hidden door to disappear. Mimic the hand gestures to reveal the phantom door. On the other side, you'll find a hidden room. Examining the room reveals a Crude Map and a ledger, Ledger of Souls, indicating a member of the Waking Flame collected the souls of several novices and passed off their disappearances through baseless rumor. The black soul gems they used were then to be given to a group called the Ideal Masters. The map points to a spot southeast of Gideon, which brings up another memory from Faric: Rolaine and Cerise left Gideon in a carriage together. Perhaps more clues can be found at the map's destination.

Arriving at the scene, you find the carriage remains at the bottom of a rock face, down in a pond. It's no wonder, now, that it was never found. Inside it you'll find a skeleton bearing the Floral Signet ring of priestess Rolaine and the three Black Soul Gems from the memories revealed by the memory stone. Suddenly, Faric sees a ghost on the shoreline nearby.

Cerise revealed

Following her, you'll come to a cave with a skeleton and Cerise's Farewell Note documenting her final words: Rolaine was the murderer, and she attacked Cerise while the priestess was on her way to deliver the black soul gems. Faric arrives and reveals he's been having visions of this ghost, whom he believes to be his grandmother. He despairs that no one will believe the story, but after you recommend talking to someone unaffiliated with the temple, he asks you to speak with Captain Fire-From-Nowhere, who might listen. Finding the captain back in Gideon, you relay the information and link him up with Faric, concluding the quest.

Notes

* Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the game 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.
