You arrive at Radovid’s ship, moored off Oxerfurt’s bay after the summons, and speak to the sunken-eyed weasel of a ruler. He isn’t one to mince words; he wants the sorceress Philippa Elhart found.

He ordered her eyes gouged out, but this apparently hasn’t dissuaded her troublemaking and recent escape. He wants her alive, and brought to him. He no longer trusts the Lodge of Sorceresses. You can answer however you wish, but the results are the same—travel into the mountains and find her.

Journey northeast of Oxenfurt, into the wooded hills, following the pathways on horseback until you reach the top of a hill and discover a set of ivy-covered ancient ruins. There’s a series of outer pillars caked in lichen and moss, with an inner archway and tiled entrance area where a group of witch hunters are nursing their wounds. They’ve had great difficulty attempting to enter these catacombs known as Est Tayiar. You explain who you are and who sent you. The leader motions to one of his men, who shows you a tile block imbued with power.
