This sizeable stronghold stands along the bank of the Treva River, which flows between Lake Geir and Lake Honrich in the heart of the Rift.

Exterior

Bandits have overrun Treva’s Watch, and steel bars prevent a traditional frontal assault on the main gate. Travel west to locate a nearby campsite, where a soldier named Stalleo gives you a Side Quest that involves reclaiming Treva’s Watch from his enemies. Enter the nearby cave to begin your infiltration of the fort.

Later, when you reach the fort’s interior courtyard, make your way up its ramparts to discover a chest on the roof.

Entry Tunnel
