Detailed Walkthrough[edit]
Speak with Eveli to begin the quest, and she'll inform you that a nearby courier has a letter for you. Take it off the nearby table and tell Eveli what it says. It's unsigned, but it asks that you bring Eveli to nearby Amnis Manor in Gideon, right behind the Egg and Hammer Inn. You'll find good old Elam Drals just outside the manor: go on and have a chat with him, catch up a bit.
He's calling to inform you that he suspects the owner of this house, Matus Amnis, is a closet Dagonist and may be financially supporting the Waking Flame's activities. Word around the street is that some big event is happening soon, and Elam suspects Vandacia is involved. He won't help you in your investigation: he's got stuff to do, but he suggests you snoop around the manor behind him and see if you can't dig further into this event.
Enter the manor. Just to the left of the front door, you'll find a Letter to Matus Amnis asking if the noble has received his invitation to Vandacia's latest shindig. The letter points you towards the Salvitto Estate along the shore of Blackwood Lake: that's north of Gideon. Upstairs, you'll find the cover letter for said invitation on a table, but no invitation. Furthermore, his wardrobe is empty—Matus must have already left for the event. Talk to Eveli about your findings.
- "I think that's everything we're going to find. Let's take another look at the evidence and see if we can figure out what's going on here."
- That letter to Amnis suggests that Vandacia went to the Salvitto Estate.
- "Right. Says that's located near Blackwood Lake. It also mentions some sort of event. And I think both Amnis and whoever sent this letter are part of the Order of the Waking Flame.
Actual Dagonists right here in Gideon! Can you imagine?" - This event sounds like Vandacia plans to reveal something special to his followers.
- "I was thinking the same thing. Could he have found the other two Ambitions? And are they people, too? Cracked acorns, mysteries make my head hurt!
I'd much rather have a clear target so I can fill it full of arrows!" - We also found part of an invitation and noticed that his wardrobe was empty.
- "Sounds like getting to the event requires a voyage and a special coin of some sort. Since we don't have a coin or an invitation, we should go to the Salvitto Estate next.
I think it's to the north of Gideon, near Blackwood Lake. I'll meet you there." - All right, I'll meet you there.
Meet Eveli at the Salvitto Estate to the north. The Hutan-Tzel Wayshrine is closest to the location: you'll head down the road west from there to find it. The estate is crawling with Waking Flame toadies. Gracian Salvitto is upstairs inside his manor, and it sounds like he's going to leave for a boat on his dock soon. Go on and pay him a visit. He'll try to run: even jumps out of a second story window. But his feeble little aristocrat legs are no match for you, and you catch him at the docks behind the manor. Have a little chat with him.
- "What do you want? Gems, gold, jewels? Whatever you want, it's yours. Just don't harm me!"
- Councilor Vandacia. Where is he?
- "All right, all right. Yes, Vandacia was here. Stopped by for a visit with his new charge. But he's long gone.
Perhaps if you hurry, you can still catch him." - His new charge?
- "Well, prisoner, actually. He stopped by to show him off. Gave me a preview of his big event.
Please, I—I shouldn't be telling you any of this. It goes against our code!" - Tell me more about this event. Where is it and how do I get there?
- No one outside the order is allowed … oh, all right! I can see there's no reasoning with you.
Take my invitation. And my coin. You'll need both to get on the ship. The Calamity. It's leaving from Leyawiin docks shortly.""
Gracian handily gives you his invitation to the event and the Waking Flame Coin, which you'll need to get into the event. Talk to Eveli.
- "A ship at the Leyawiin docks? Where is Vandacia holding this event of his? And he's got a prisoner? It sounds like he found one of the Ambitions."
- Salvitto gave us his invitation and this strange coin.
- "Let me see that. What a strange coin. The symbol on it … it looks like the symbols in the book I'm carrying. Here, you better hang on to the coin.
At least we know how to get to Vandacia's event—wherever it is." - So you think we should get aboard that ship?
- "Absolutely. Let's meet in Leyawiin. According to the invitation, the event requires formal attire, so we'll need to visit a tailor before we head to the docks.
I'll meet you by the big tree just inside the city gates after I deal with Salvitto."
Head on down to Leyawiin while Eveli takes care of Gracian Salvitto.

- 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.
