Sir Reginald Gaunt has asked you to help destroy the demons that have enslaved the town of Rock Ridge.
Demons have invaded Rock Ridge, driving out the cultists before we had a chance to put them to the sword. The fiends have unleashed a torrent of cruelty that can't be believed. We are no match for them, but you, Ascended, could drive them back to hell.
You are truly the Vigil's chosen! Your assault against the demons in Rock Ridge was a sight to behold, setting an example for Guardians everywhere. Now, you must press the attack, and close the rift that brought the demons here in the first place.
We cannot stop and cannot rest until Rock Ridge has been freed, [%NAME].

Centurion Ilyara has asked you to salvage Data Crystals from the Damaged Surveying Devices that the Guardians have disabled on Dagger's Edge in western Moonshade Highlands.
We set up surveying devices to monitor movement in Dagger's Edge, but unfortunately, the Guardians disabled them and our cannons. Even though they're no longer functioning, those machines may still have intact Data Crystals we can read.
These Data Crystals look like they could contain some viable data about what was happening here up until the attack. Kaspar will be pleased that everything was not lost in the chaos.
The surveying devices should be all along Dagger's Edge.

Afanas Inna wants you to kill Rakthug in Trollblight Caverns and collect Rakthug's Key.
Please help! I'm the last of those sent to find the missing villagers. The Aelfwar set upon us before we could react. They took the rest to be hooked up to those infernal machines, and it won't be long till they come for me. You must get the key from Rakthug!
That's the key! Thank you, friend. Now, all that's left for me is to fight my way through a horde of hungry trolls with just my bare hands... unless you'd be willing to help me one more time.
We were following the trail of the missing Perspice villagers when the Aelfwar ambushed us. Those that weren't killed in the battle were locked in here so that the Aelfwar could drain our life essence. Now I'm the only one left.

Ralyn Laurel asks that you enter the Auld Warden and collect Auld Roots from within the great tree.
Quicksilver College suspended my grant after my research was disrupted. Before the trolls drove us out of the Auld Warden, however, we discovered saplings whose roots have potent medicinal qualities. Selling those roots could fund further research.
These Auld Roots are excellent! The alchemists and healers who will buy these from me will keep my research going for the foreseeable future. Thank you, [%Name].
Have you had any luck? My research assistants are beginning to talk of packing up for home...

Kill Endless Reavers and Endless Sorceresses in King's Retreat and then return to Warden Mordrin.
We're a traditional people in Freemarch, and many of us didn't want to ally with the Defiant. Yet, as the rifts spread, and the forces of Regulos grew, our prayers to the gods went unanswered. Help us now against the Endless Court, and prove our mistrust was unfounded.
It's unbelievable! I've tested my steel against the Endless Court cultists, but I barely survived. You cut through them like a scythe through wheat. The promises of the Defiant leaders were true!
Well? Have you killed that Endless rabble yet?

Juntar Kreb has sent you to kill the Wandering Blights that wander Blightweald, northeast of Timberveil.
The corrupted forest of Blightweald may be the key to our understanding of death magic, but its denizens are likely to foil our efforts. If you were to slay any of the Wandering Blights there, you'd be clearing the way for research and protecting Timberveil from future attacks.
Fewer Wandering Blights will also mean fewer foot soldiers for those who would control them with death magic. I already feel like I'll be able to rest easier tonight, [%NAME].
Don't let their appearance fool you. Wandering Blights in large enough numbers and proper coordination could level this town. Kill them before they kill us.

I suspect the Abyssal cult is responsible for corrupting the boglings at Kirna's Arbor. The simple creatures once honored the shrine in the middle of the lake, but now they defile it. We must slay them before they spread their corruption to the rest of the Highlands.
We have enough trouble here at Three Springs between Abyssals at our door and possessed townsfolk walking off in the middle of the night. The last thing we need is a deathtouched bogling army at our doorstep.
There should be enough Depraved Boglings at the arbor to keep an adventurer like you on your toes.

Defender Dulvain wants you to save Telara by preventing Xatax Icebane from freeing the Frozen Army in Cloudbourne Caverns!
The final hour is here, [%NAME].
Xatax Icebane, a mastermind within the Storm Legion, is about to raise the most terrible force Telara has ever faced, and the only thing standing in their path is us. I expect not all of us will survive, but I can't think of a more glorious way to die.
By Thedeor, we've done it! We would never have done this without you, Ascended! If not for you, [%NAME], Crucia's army would be decimating Iron Pine Peak.
Perhaps my eyes fooled me, but during that explosion I thought I saw Thedeor there, standing with us as well. Do you think it was his will that Xatax failed? I guess we'll never know.
They say no force could withstand the fury of Crucia's army and that their march shook the world's foundations. It cost millions of lives and all the Vigil just to freeze them within these mountains. Now it appears all we have is a handful of men and one Ascended. I look forward to seeing this day through.

Faceless Man has asked you to kill Mulia the Witch and deal with Uriel's betrayal.
Uriel has become a liability ever since she ran off with that Endless witch. I gave orders to Kira to deal with her, but she has been less than successful. In fact, I'm now convinced she is stalling. I want you to deal with this little problem before I lose Kira as well.
I can't deny the truth behind Kira's assessment. If Rahn found out that we allowed his beloved daughter to be corrupted by Regulos, or that she was killed by Defiant hands, it may endanger our already tenuous alliance with the bahmi. That's a risk we cannot take. I will report these events to Asha. Uriel's fate will be up to her. Thank you for your assistance with this, [%NAME].
I am very displeased with Kira. She had better have a very good reason for not dealing with this Uriel situation when it was first discovered.

My force here is mauled pretty badly. The cultists are blocking our advance, but we can't retreat because they'll cut the bridge from under us, sending us to our deaths. Now that you're here, though, we have a chance to press forward. So here is the plan...
Well done, [%sir_madam]! You brought my boys back in one piece, and sometimes, that is all one can ask. We all owe you a debt of gratitude, and I apologize if any of us ever doubted you.
If you have any prayers to offer for our success, that wouldn't hurt either.

The Defiant's use of dark magic and technology trouble me, but I can't argue with your results. Now that the bomani have captured Warden's Point, I ask you to do Freemarch a favor. Destroy the invaders' fortifications the traditional way - with fire.
Warden's Point is a key location for controlling Freemarch's coastline. By destroying the Bomani Barricades there, you've made it impossible for the enemy to hold that site. I'll be sure to let my commanders know how invaluable the Defiant have been in this matter.
You must destroy the Bomani Barricades in Warden's Point if we're to drive out the invaders.

Speak with Marshal Willa about confronting the Defiant in Whitefall Steppes.

I believe that it was Whitefall Steppes. Marshal Willa of the Whitefall Brigade has returned to us in Sanctum seeking more Ascended to aid the cause and smite the heathens. You should enlist, or else this divine warning will come to pass. Seek Marshal Willa in Thedeor's Circle.
You've come about Whitefall? Good. I need more strong recruits. The Storm Legion ravaged a pair of towns there. It is a devastating sight, not a single soul has been left with their freedom of will. The Legion was chased off before they could remove some of the artifacts by which they subjugated the people. We want them. The Defiant want them. This poses an obvious problem.

You've halted the rituals outside the Stone Nexus, but I fear Akala has only begun her greatest summoning. Our scouts tell of powerful planar creatures emerging through portals in the sands around the Nexus. You must close these portals if we are to stop Akala.
I am proud to call you a friend, [%NAME]. Now the only remaining threat is Akala herself. She must be dealt with personally or this entire region may become enslaved to Laethys. I hope to see Akala killed one day, and I hope you are the one to do it.
