High Queen Elysa Strathelar and her entourage arrive at Candeth Keep. They pour over plans to assault a vast network of hives that extends beneath the majority of Dereth. Antius Blackmoor stands at her side as forward scout, and Nuhmudira acts as her chief advisor. The three join the forward guard there and await assistance from any who would aid in removing the Olthoi from Dereth.

Timers were also updated with several corrections, thanks to Legion of Light from WE! And I'm thankful to Capt Justice of TD for sending in details for the jump section on the Harbinger quest.

As I've long known, if it's not in the quests section, it doesn't exit! I've pulled the info for obtaining a Writ of Refuge from various pages of the site and put it into a full write up. You can find it here!

Trophies for the Harbinger quest also added to Crafters & Collectors page. I think the only ones I'm still missing are the Drudge Sage Charm, Banderling Slayer Scalp, Insidious Monouga Idol,  and Primeval Skeleton Shin Bone. If you have a screen of the examine panel, please send me an email!
