A Hidden Vault

After making your way through the wards in the vault, you reach the Inner Vault. Your companion Eveli Sharp-Arrow is eager to find what is inside. When you enter, you overhear two voices laughing and talking with each other:

Destron: "How's this, sister?"

Calia: "More dramatic, Destron. More … panache!"

<Eveli runs down the hall towards the voices.>

In the room, Calia can be found painting a portrait of Destron as he poses.

Destron: "Calia, just make sure it actually looks like me this time."

Calia: "Oh brother, I always capture the real you!"

When you approach, Eveli will blurt out her confusion, and then things ramp up:

Eveli Sharp-Arrow: "People? Where are the Daedric weapons?"

Destron: "Who are these intruders?"

<Lyranth teleports in with her own news.>

Lyranth: "I sense the cultists. They're close. Wood Elf, check the other side of those doors."

Calia: "Careful, brother. They look dangerous."

Eveli Sharp-Arrow: "Dangerous? We're heroes! All right, Lyranth. I'll scout ahead. You talk to them, partner."

While Eveli goes into the next room, you can speak to Destron and Calia, to see what they know.

Destron will want answers:

"Explain yourself. Who are you and why have you invaded our sanctum?"

We're here on behalf of Leyawiin and Gideon. We're looking for the Four Ambitions.

"Four Ambitions? As in an earnest desire or something to aspire to? How can an idea such as that also be a thing?"

We thought the Ambitions were Daedric weapons, but now I'm not so sure.

"Weapons? There are no weapons here. Just my sister, Calia, myself, and our caretakers. Teachers used to visit in the past. And the emperor. But we haven't seen another living soul in many years.
Look around if you must, but then leave us in peace."

Before you investigate the sanctum, he won't mind you searching but he'll keep an eye on you:

"Explore our sanctum if you must, but know I'll be watching."

His journal can be found on a chest of drawers near his bed, he will be annoyed that you read it:

Destron: "Do you mind? Those are my personal thoughts!"

When you examine everything, you will hear Eveli shout for help as the cultists have arrived. Lyranth volunteers to escort the twins, but you can ask Destron about the vault before you leave to help Eveli:

"That shout! What's going on out there?"

What can you tell me about this vault?

"Vault? Funny. That's what Emperor Leovic used to call our home. We just refer to it as our sanctum. I suppose we can't remain here. Not after this."

Why did they lock you in this place?

"You make it sound like a prison. This is our home. It was built to protect us. To keep us safe.
The emperors were preparing us for something special. They said they would tell us more when the time was right, but that time never came."

While you move through the Deep Vaults, you may overhear Destron, Calia and Lyranth in the distance:

Calia: "What's going on? Where are we going?"

Destron: "Whatever happens, stay close to me."

Lyranth: "How touching. Makes me want to rip out my eyes."

After you defeat Sinestrix Iribia, you will hear an altercation up ahead. It appears that some cultists have reached the twins, you will need to run ahead to see it in person:

Destron: "Stay back! I'm warning you …."

Waking Flame Cultist: "Nonsense, child. You are an Ambition! The high priest has great plans for you."

Calia: "Destron, what should we do?"

Destron: "Exactly what we were trained to do!"

<Lightning bursts out of Destron, killing all of the cultists.>

Eveli Sharp-Arrow: "Um … I think we may have found those weapons …."

You can then ask Destron and Calia what just happened:

"They wanted to take us away. Me and my sister. I … I couldn't let them do that."

That was an impressive display of power.

"You think so? When they charged in here and demanded we go with them … I just had a bad feeling.
I … I really didn't mean to obliterate them like that."

Between what I saw and what they said, I'm guessing you and your sister are two of the Ambitions.

"I'll have to take your word for it.
With our sanctum breached and our caretakers dead, we can't stay here. We'll go with you, if that's all right."

We'll get you someplace safe.

After you have spoken to the pair, Eveli will want to talk to you but you can ask Destron about himself before you do so:

"It appears that the Wood Elf wants to speak to you.
Go on, but when you're finished, I think we should leave this place."

So tell me, who are you exactly?

"I'm Destron. My twin sister Calia and I, this is our home.
Except for a short time when we were very young, it's always just been my sister and I. Plus the caretakers. They've always been good to us."

And you never leave this place or see anyone else?

"There used to be teachers. They came and went as we needed them. And the emperors spent time with us. First Moricar, then Leovic. But all of that stopped a few years ago.
We've been alone with our caretakers until … well, until you showed up."

Once you have spoken to Eveli, she will escort the twins to Gideon, where she says to meet her:

Eveli Sharp-Arrow: "Come with me you two. It's not safe here anymore."

Calia: "You want us to go … outside?"

Destron: "Time to say goodbye to this place, Calia. It will be a new adventure."

Speaking to him before you head out of the sanctum:

"Gideon? That's a city, isn't it? I suppose we could go with you and the Wood Elf. I always wanted to see a city."

You can reunite with them in Gideon Courthouse, where they have been brought to Keshu the Black Fin.

"Our sanctum was spacious, but the world outside … it's huge! I think … I think this is going to take some time to get used to."

Will you and your sister be all right here?

"We have to be, don't we? We've put our trust in your hands and we have to assume that you will keep us safe.
The Argonian seems intent on protecting us. And if all else fails, Calia and I aren't defenseless. We shall be fine until you return."

A Mysterious Event

The Boar and the Twin Rams meet

You and Eveli's investigation will lead you to attending a Waking Flame gathering in the Deadlands, where you find and rescue Sombren, another Ambition. Once you are back on Nirn, you can lead Sombren to the twins who are now staying in the Temple of Dibella:

Sombren: "Go, my friend. Go see Eveli. The twins and I have much to discuss."

<Sombren turns to the twins.>

Destron: "I'm Destron. And this is my sister, Calia. But who are you?"

Sombren: "My name is Sombren. And I, like you, am an Ambition."

Calia: "Another Ambition? Truly? How very nice to meet you!"

You can then talk to Destron before you leave:

"Another Ambition? It seems you are collecting us like a child gathers marbles. Still, how can you be sure he's just like us?"

I rescued him from the cultists. They certainly thought he was an Ambition.

"Interesting. I don't think I like this cult. What did you call it?"

The Order of the Waking Flame.

"An odd name for a band of religious fanatics. Ah, well.
Don't worry about us. We're perfectly safe here. Go about your business while my sister and I talk with Sombren. I think we have much to share with each other."

Weapons of Destruction

Speaking with Keshu the Black Fin in her office, the Argonian will explain that with Ambitions being housed in the city, it has become a target for the Waking Flame. She then suggests speaking with Sombren and seeing what he knows. When you enter the Temple of Dibella, you will find Calia and Destron. Destron will be encouraging Calia to practice using her powers on the nearby target dummy:

Destron: "Go on, Calia. Unleash your power. Just like back in the sanctum."

Calia: "All right, if you say so."

<Calia creates a jet of flame in her hands.>

Sombren: "No, wait!"

<The flames suddenly become bigger and Calia jerks back.>

Calia: "Something's wrong!"

Destron: "Pull back, Calia. Pull back!"

Calia: "I can't!"

<The flames continue to go out of control and Destron shields his face. Sombren runs into the room.>

Sombren: "Hold on. Let me help. There!"

<Ice forms in Sombren's hands and he manages to extinguish Calia's fire.>

Destron: "How did you do that?"

Sombren: "Practice. I trained to control my powers after I left my vault."

Speaking with Sombren, he will explain that one of the vault's functions was to place a limiter on the Ambitions powers. He experienced the same loss of control after he was released from his vault. It was only by the help of his mentor that he learnt to control his powers. When you talk with Destron afterwards:

"Our power seems to be getting stronger. Harder to control. If not for Sombren, Calia's own power might have consumed her!
Is this our punishment for abandoning our sanctum?"

I don't think you're being punished.

"No, probably not. But we're definitely getting stronger. You saw what I did in the sanctum. My power is lightning, but after seeing how Calia lost control, I'm hesitant to use it out here.
I will, though, if I'm called upon to defend my sister."

Sombren will ask you to meet him and the twins at a shrine in the marsh outside the town, to speak with his mentor. After checking in Eveli, you can meet the Ambitions in the ruins. Here Sombren will summon his mentor to speak with:

Sombren: "All I ask is that you all keep an open mind."

<Purple magic dances in Sombren's hands as he summons the projection of Xynaa.>

Calia: "That's … a Dremora!"

Destron: "Sombren, what's going on here?"

Destron: "Easy, everyone. This is Xynaa. She can help us. Mercenary, why don't you speak to her?"

Speaking with Destron by Xynaa:

"Sombren's mentor is a Dremora? I remember they brought Daedra into our sanctum sometimes to teach us about Oblivion and the Princes, but I never expected to meet one out here.
I guess you should talk to her and see if she can actually help us."

When you talk with the Xynaa, she quickly realizes why she has been contacted. The Dremora further explains that the twins will need to meet her in person, but before that they need to be attuned to the Deadlands. Otherwise bad things could happen. Destron accepts Xynaa's explanation so far:

"We had Dremora teachers in the sanctum at times. They could be cruel, but they were very knowledgeable."

Sombren takes over the explanation, you will need to take the twins and collect the crystalline Oblivion fragments from nearby locations and bring them to the Plateau of the Traveler. The planar boundaries in that location are thin and Sombren can do the attunement process there. Before you leave, you have the option of talking to Calia and Destron:

"Let's find these objects from the Deadlands as Sombren's mentor suggested. If it helps keep me and my sister alive, we've got to try it, no matter the risk."

Have you ever heard of this attunement process before?

"No, but I never heard of Ambitions either before all this began.
We're in new territory here. But as long as my sister and I are in danger, I'll take help wherever I can get it. Let's go and find these objects."

Calia and Destron will then follow you around as you collect the Crimson Deadlands Sliver and Obsidian Deadlands Sliver. As you leave Sombren you can listen in on the twins' conversation. Destron is excited while Calia is more pessimistic:

Destron: "Can you believe it, Calia? We're going to be great heroes."

Calia: "What's heroic about being consumed by our own powers?"

Destron: "Xynaa taught Sombren to control his powers. She'll do the same for us."

Calia: "If the cultists or our own powers don't kill us first."

Destron: "Come now, sister, where's your sense of adventure?"

Collecting the Deadlands Slivers

Collecting one of the slivers, Calia has concerns about Xynaa:

Calia: "What if Xynaa only wants to use us for our power, Destron?"

Destron: "She can't force us. You heard her. She needs allies, and we're as powerful as they come!"

Calia: "I've read the stories. Pacts with Daedra never turn out well."

Destron: "I'll protect you, Calia. You have my word!"

Calia: "Silly little brother. I'm the one who protects you."

Destron: "You're barely older. Only by a moment!"

When you take the second sliver:

Destron: "Two slivers of the Deadlands, one for each of us. Mission accomplished!"

Calia: "I fear it just gets more difficult from here."

Destron: "You worry about everything. Let's go meet Sombren!"

Speaking to Destron after collecting the two Deadlands Slivers:

"That wasn't so hard. Now, let's hurry and join Sombren on the road. The Deadlands await!"

Sombren will be waiting for you along the roadside, near the path leading to the Plateau of the Traveler. Before speaking with Sombren, Destron has a carefree attitude while his sister is trying to get him to understand the gravity of the situation:

Destron: "<Hums merrily>"

Calia: "Destron stop! This is serious."

Destron: "Relax, Calia. We're on an adventure!"

Calia: "Destron, be serious! Our own powers could destroy us!"

Destron: "That won't happen! I won't let it."

Calia: "It might not be up to you."

Destron: "Calia... we'll figure this out."

Sombren: "We're doing this to avoid all that. Did you gather the slivers?"

Before you speak to Sombren regarding the slivers:

"Show Sombren the slivers. I'm eager to see what we have to do next."

Before you clear the way to the portal site:

"Look how Sombren manipulates the forces of magicka! I hope I can control my power like that someday."

Making your way there, the Ambitions will catch up to you and Sombren will instruct the twins:

Sombren: "All right, just like we discussed. Focus on the slivers of Deadlands."

Destron: "It's working!"

<Red magic appears in the trio's hands and a portal is opened.>

Calia: "I've never traveled by portal before .…"

Sombren: "Quick, step inside! Follow when you're ready, friend."

<Calia, Destron and Sombren walk into the portal.>

On the other side, you will find yourself in The Ashen Forest, an isolated part of the Deadlands. Sombren will be by the side of Xynaa's projection, meanwhile, Calia and Destron will be looking at the sights, Destron is worried:

"So these are the Deadlands? I admit, I'd feel a lot better if I learned how to use our powers before I came to a place like this. I feel like we're going about this in the wrong order."

Speaking with Xynaa, she explains that the twins need to walk the Path of the Obelisks to her sanctuary and view what the Obelisks show them. You are to guide them and act as a witness to the visions. Once more Calia and Destron will become your followers. As you fight of Daedra along the path, Destron may occasionally call out:

Destron: "Well done!"

Destron: "That must have hurt!"

Destron: "You're unstoppable!"

Destron: "Take that, foul creature!"

Destron: "If only I could assist you!"

When you reach the Obelisk of Origin, Calia and Destron will take their place and wait for you to activate it:

The Obelisk of Origin

Destron: "That must be the first obelisk!"

Calia: "Prepare yourself, brother, while our friend activates it and serves as our witness."

Speaking with Destron beforehand:

"This must be the Obelisk of Origin. Impressive!
You need to activate it so you can bear witness to what we see."

Activating the obelisk, a projection of a crib will appear, along with a man and woman in Imperial dress:

Ramin Brolus: "The babes are asleep? How? I couldn't get the boy to stop bawling."

Lestra Brolus: "I fed the twins until they were full and exhausted."

<Councilor Vandacia walks up behind them, along with Emperor Moricar and two Imperial Soldiers. Ramin and Lestra bow their heads in respect.>

Ramin Brolus: "Your majesty! Welcome. The babes are healthy and strong."

Councilor Vandacia: "As commanded, my emperor, she bore twins."

Emperor Moricar: "As Mehrunes Dagon commanded, so it has been done."

<The figures disappear in smoke.>

Destron: "Our parents and the high priest? I don't understand."

Talking to Destron after watching the vision:

"I don't remember my parents. They never told us anything about them in the vault.
I suppose this means they were loyal subjects of Emperor Moricar. That they were working with Vandacia."

The caretakers didn't tell you anything about your parents?

"No. We were told our pasts weren't important. All that mattered was the moment and the future when our purpose would be revealed."

And they never explained what that purpose was?

"No, but I always assumed we were special. Meant for great things. I had no idea they only wanted to kill us. Like they were just fattening us up all those years for the inevitable slaughter."

Further along the winding path, you will reach the second Obelisk:

Calia: "I suppose this is the Obelisk of Empowerment."

Destron: "Activate it, if you would, friend."

Speaking with Destron before activating it:

"You might as well activate it and see what other terrible secret the obelisk plans to reveal."

Activating the obelisk, a similar scene to the previous one is viewed Ramin and Lestra standing silently in prayer as Emperor Moricar, Vandacia and the Imperial Soldiers stand behind them.

Calia: "It's starting."

Councilor Vandacia: "Time for the final ritual, my emperor."

Emperor Moricar: "Proceed, high priest."

<Ramin and Lestra silently kneel and Vandacia approaches the crib. The Imperial Soldiers take their place behind the parents.>

Councilor Vandacia: "O Mehrunes Dagon, Prince of Ambition and Destruction, imbue these infants with your power!"

Councilor Vandacia: "Let it ripen and grow within these vessels until the appointed time!"

Ramin Brolus: "So let it be done."

Lestra Brolus: "As Dagon wills it."

<Simultaneously, Ramin and Lestra are killed by the soldiers.>

Babies: <Babies wailing in distress>

<The vision ends.>

Calia: "Our parents were sacrificed to Mehrunes Dagon? Why?"

Talking to Destron after this:

"Vandacia … he performed the rituals that gave us our powers. And all for the glorification of a Daedric Prince?
I think I may be ill."'

A vision of a possible future

Arriving at the Obelisk of Inevitability, there will be nothing to activate a vision, instead a portal will appear and Calia and Destron will enter it:

Destron: "That portal opened on its own. I suppose we should step inside."

Entering "The Inevitable" you will find yourself in the ruins of the White-Gold Tower throne room. Mehrunes Dagon can be seen looking through a large hole in the wall. The Emperor of Tamriel will call out to you from the dais of the Ruby Throne:

Emperor Vandacia: "Ah, this must be the day you learn you are destined to fail. That I and the Waking Flame emerged victorious!"

The twins look on in horror at the sight of their bodies held in place by magic and positioned as macabre decorations:

Calia: "No … Destron, is that us up there?"

Destron: "And Mehrunes Dagon? Is this our future, Calia? Is this … inevitable?"

After witnessing the inevitable

After speaking with Emperor Vandacia, who smugly recounts how you lost to him, Sombren will arrive and tell you to leave quickly. When you are back in the Ashen Forest, Calia and Destron are shaken by what the witnessed. Sombren is trying to get them to snap out of it:

Calia: "Vandacia … he had us displayed like … trophies …."

Destron: "We saw our future … we're doomed …."

Sombren: "Snap out of it! What you saw was just one possible inevitability. Nothing is set in stone."

You can then speak with all three of them before continuing onward. Talk to Destron to encourage him:

"I didn't think that was how my story was going to end. I really thought we were going to win."

Despite appearances, this isn't over yet, Destron.

"Isn't it? You saw the Prince of Destruction! How can we hope to fight something like that, let alone his high priest?
Maybe it's better if we just let our powers consume us. At least then Vandacia won't be able to claim us."

Destroying yourself isn't the answer. You need to learn to control your powers and stand with me.

"Now you sound like Calia and Sombren. You're right, though. We have power beyond anything Vandacia possesses. That's why he wants us. Once Xynaa teaches us to control it, we'll be unstoppable!
All right. We're with you. Let's go get this done."

Speaking with Destron again:

"We learned about our origin and we saw one possible, awful future. Now we're ready to finally gain control of our powers.
Let's go see Xynaa now."

After you have spoken with all of them, they will run up the stairs into Xynaa's Sanctuary. Once inside Calia and Destron will be standing before Xynaa and cannot be spoken to. Speaking with Xynaa, she will ask you why you are helping the Ambitions before telling the group to follow her into the nearby Processional Hall to begin the twin's training:

A sudden betrayal

Xynaa: "We must begin the ritual at once. This way."

Calia: "Stay close, friend. I'll feel better knowing you're nearby."

As you enter the other room and walk up the isle, there is a flash of light and everyone is frozen in place.

Calia: "What's happening? What's going on?"

Sombren: "Xynaa, what are you doing?"

<Xynaa turns around.>

Xynaa: "Helping you fulfill your purpose. You are Ambitions. You belong to Mehrunes Dagon!"

<Your vision goes black as you fall.>

You wake up with and injured Sombren nearby, having landed in the Spidernest, a dungeon beneath the sanctuary. After speaking with Sombren you will need to retrieve Menthyx's Skull, a trophy of Xynaa's that Sombren can use to recharge his powers. While you are gone Sombren finds Xynaa's Book of Contracts, which shows that Xynaa assisted in the Ambitions creation and was using Sombren from the start.

Once ready, the two of you can confront Xynaa in her sanctum where she has Calia and Destron restrained and is draining them. When you have killed Xynaa, the twins will be freed and are angry at Sombren:

Calia: "Xynaa … she was going to sacrifice us to Mehrunes Dagon!"

Destron: "Sombren! How could you bring us to this … this monster?"

Sombren: "She wasn't like this. I didn't know."

Calia: "Destron, help me open a portal. Like Sombren showed us on the hilltop."

<The twins open a portal and leave.>

Sombren: "This wasn't how it was supposed to turn out. Come on, let's go after them."

Broken Trust

Enter the portal to Gideon, you can witness their conversation in the street. Destron is in no mood for apologies and Calia is trying to be the peacemaker:

Sombren: "I'm sorry. I had no idea Xynaa meant to betray us."

Destron: "She wanted to kill us, Sombren! An apology isn't going to cut it!"

Calia: "Destron, Xynaa betrayed Sombren, too."

Destron: "Because he was stupid enough to trust her!"

Speaking with Destron after Sombren, he no longer trusts the Nord wholeheartedly:

"Xynaa didn't want to help. She wanted to kill us! How many more of these fanatics are going to attempt to sacrifice us before all is said and done?
At least I'm in control of my power for the moment. It may not last, but it's better than nothing."

Sombren thinks he can teach you. At least, he's going to try.

"Sombren is a fool. He allowed that Dremora to trick him. Almost got us killed in the process.
I'll listen to what he has to say, but I won't blindly believe it. Not with what's at stake here. The fate of the entire world rests on what we do next."

As you leave to report back to Keshu, the trio will head back into the Temple of Dibella.

Pyre of Ambition

After your trip to the Deadlands, you will learn from Governor Keshu that the Waking Flame forces have been gathering outside Gideon. Keshu will have a plan to move the Ambitions to the more defensible Fort Redmane, so they can both protect the Ambitions and prevent the city from being caught in the battle. After you have spoken with Eveli, you will need to meet with the Ambitions in the Temple of Dibella and tell them the plan. Destron can be found reading from a book. You have the option of talking to him:

"I hate all this waiting around for something to happen! Especially when I know our time is short. We have control of our power for the moment, but Sombren assures us that it won't last."

Has Sombren been able to teach you anything yet?

"A little, but he doesn't know if he can impart the same knowledge as he received from Xynaa. He's not sure he's that good of a teacher."

And have you forgiven Sombren for what happened in the Deadlands?

"Can the actions of a fool be forgiven? I accept that he tried. That he allowed Xynaa to trick him and inadvertently put us in danger.
But he also showed us our past. And he has been helping, at least a little. I'm willing to keep going if he is."

Speaking to him again after you have told Sombren the plan:

"Did I hear correctly? We're going to a fort? Why do I have a feeling that this story isn't going to have a happy ending?"

After you have recruited your allies, you can meet up with the forces outside Fort Redmane. You can speak with Destron before talking to Eveli and Keshu:

"Tents, mud, and horse dung. I can't say it's as heroic a setting for a last stand as I imagined. I never thought about the actual smell of a military camp. How could you without ever experiencing it?
But like these soldiers, I'm ready to fight."

Be careful today. Your job is to stay alive and protect your sister.

"Sombren told me the same thing.
I appreciate that the world outside my vault is a lot more dangerous and confusing than I imagined. But now that I'm here, I'll do my best to see it for what it is, not what I want it to be."

And how are you doing with your power? Still in control?

"So far. Sombren has been showing us some techniques and they seem to be working for now.
We'll protect each other. After all, we're the only Ambitions we know."

Once you have spoken with Governor Keshu, the plan to protect the Ambitions will begin. Captain Rian Liore will begin to give orders, and Eveli will lead the Ambitions into the fort. Once you enter the fort, Waking Flame forces will teleported in. When you find Eveli, she will tell you the Ambitions ran to the west and that you will need to catch up with them. In the inner bailey you will find Sombren and the twins surrounded by dead bodies:

Sombren: "Over here, mercenary!"

Calia: "Vandacia's forces, they're everywhere!"

Destron: "Sombren, I sense more of them. They're coming!"

<Oblivion portals then appear nearby.>

Sombren: "All of you, under the shield!"

<Sombren spreads his arms wide and an icy dome appears around him.>

Sombren will maintain the shield while you and twins fight off the enemies. Once the enemies are defeated, Sombren will order the group to keep moving. There will be another wave of forces but at the end of the path, a calm Councilor Vandacia will be waiting on the nearby wall, where he addresses Sombren:

Councilor Vandacia: "Sombren, you're only delaying the inevitable."

Sombren: "Monster! Because of you, our parents are dead!"

Councilor Vandacia: "They were the chosen of Mehrunes Dagon, rewarded beyond their station."

<Destron walks out in front on the group.>

Destron: "I'm going to kill you, Vandacia!"

Councilor Vandacia: "Who shall I sacrifice first? Perhaps the sister …?"

Destron: "You leave Calia alone, you bastard!"

<Destron throws a lightning bolt at Vandacia who is unphased. Vandacia's red magic grips Destron and he is pulled helplessly towards Vandacia.>

Calia: "Destron!"

Councilor Vandacia: "You are an Ambition, boy. Let me help you fulfill your purpose!"

<Destron then bursts into red energy as a beam of light surrounds Vandacia. Calia falls to her knees.>

Sombren: "Destron, no!"

Calia: "No!"

Councilor Vandacia: "Lord Dagon, I return to you the power of this Ambition! Let the realms merge so you may walk among us!"

<The light intensifies until Mehrunes Dagon appears towering over the fort. The sky will have changed to show that the local area is now merging with Oblivion.>

Sombren: "The sky! And Mehrunes Dagon! How is he here?"

Mehrunes Dagon: "This is my opposition? How easily I shall crush them!"

<Mehrunes Dagon then dismisses the group and turns away. Sombren and Calia run into the keep.>

Sombren: "Into the keep! Quickly!"

Councilor Vandacia: "The worlds are merging, Sombren! There is no escape. When you tire of running, I will be waiting in the courtyard."

<Vandacia teleports away.>

Old Life Observance

The spirit of Destron

After his death, the spirit of Destron may return from Aetherius and appear to you during the New Life Festival event quest Old Life Observance when you perform a remembrance ceremony at one of the Old Life shrines.
