Detailed Walkthrough[edit]

Accessing the Ruins[edit]

Grateful for your help in finding information about the creator of the Llodos Plague, Varon Davel promises you support finding the missing townspeople.

You need to meet with your ally to find out where the missing villagers are. If you completed A Timely Matter, this is Slips-Through-Fingers. If you instead completed Ratting Them Out, this is Rila Lenith. Either way, you will meet them outside of the Hlaalu Kinhouse. She has the Narsis Ruins Key and the location of the missing people: the ruins beneath Narsis. The door is to the west, near the West Narsis Wayshrine.

Finding the Villagers[edit]

Inside the Narsis Ruins, you will need to fight through the Maulborn and defeat Giron Sadri. He is standing in front of an altar atop a plinith in the second room. The door to the north leads into the basement of the Abandoned Home just outside Narsis. Use Giron's Key, which he dropped when you killed him, to open the door.

Ratted Them Out[edit]

The villagers are here

If you completed Ratting Them Out, you find Councilor Ralden, who has been fatally wounded, and the missing villagers. Ralden explains that he realized that Giron brought the Llodos Plague to Narsis, and that Giron had wanted the city sealed to isolate a large supply of potential corpses for further experiments. Ralden tells you to stop everyone from drinking the water, and reveals that Magistrix Vox is the Maulborn's leader and she plans to spread the plague to Mournhold. Ralden then dies.

A Timely Rescue[edit]

If you completed A Timely Matter, you find Councilor Ralden being tended by Madras Tedas, as well as the missing villagers. Madras explains that his group of armed villagers were ambushed by the Maulborn in the ruins and massacred, but he managed to escape and found the basement, where he discovered the missing villagers and saved Ralden's life. Madras reveals the details of Giron and the Maulborn's plan.

Varon and the Narsis guards are outside. Varon thanks you for your assistance and informs you that city guards are clearing out the Maulborn from the ruins. He gives you a reward and will offer your next 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.
