Dialogue[edit]

Initial dialogue[edit]

Symon the Scribe
"Greetings, friend! I wonder if you can help me? I am attempting to preserve Ascalon's great history before all is lost. If, on your travels, you could find and record the founder's inscriptions for the cities of Nolani, Surmia, and King's Watch, I would be so grateful. I know these great cities are in ruins now, but Lyssa willing, you'll find historical markers among the wreckage. I look forward to your return."
Yes Accept: "I'll take care of it."
No Decline: "I'm sorry. I have other things I must do."
Ask Ask: "Please, if you can, record the founder's descriptions of Nolani, Surmia, and King's Watch so I can include them in my history of Ascalon."

Reward dialogue[edit]

Symon the Scribe
"Magnificient! These dates will help me to complete my history of Ascalon. Was it very dangerous? I would have gone myself, but a humble scholar such as myself wouldn't last a day out there."

Notes[edit]

  • The Grim Cesta awarded in this quest is the -50 health focus item that provides the only means of achieving the 55 maximum health required for the "55" farming builds. Although prices fluctuate on the trade channels, it is likely the most valuable commodity obtained up to this point in the storyline if sold on the open market.
