[edit] Walkthrough
Entering the burning forest from west or the south is the shortest way. Wipe out patrolling groups first. There are three groups of Charr you have to defeat, and they start off non-aggro and clustered fairly close to one another until you reach the quest marker. Two of them are fairly easy, but the third group starts out as a lone boss named Straut Flamebourne, who, when attacked, will cause a Charr Effigy to spawn.
It is advised to bring skills and spells that interrupt or slow down spellcasting; otherwise, both Strout Flamebourne and his Charr Effigy will cast Breath of Fire frequently, enough to quickly wipe your group. Both Strout Flamebourne and his Effigy have to be killed.

[edit] Dialogue
[edit] Initial dialogue
Gwen
- [Difficulty: Master] This is a memento of the past, a ghost of what I once was. You never cease to amaze me, [Character Name]. No matter how hard the Charr try to destroy what we have, there will always be something that survives.
According to the Ebon Vanguard's scouts, forces within the Charr Shaman caste have begun to move in Sacnoth Valley, trying to regroup. The rumors speak of magic once thought lost and great wrath wrought upon us. I don't want to believe that they could use the horrific power they wielded in the Searing once more...but if there's even the least bit of truth to this, we must stop them. I will not see another know the pain of my loss.
History will not repeat itself.
I've got my own problems, kid.
- When asked about quest: According to our scouts, the forces of the Charr are gathering in Sacnoth Valley. We'd best begin our search there.
[edit] Intermediate dialogue
Approching the Flame Keepers
- Flame Keeper: Do you believe what the Shamans say is true?
- Flame Keeper: I know that Pyre has cast a shadow upon them. They claim that the herald of our victory will ignite the sky with a fire as fierce as our souls. It won't be long now.
- Gwen: If what those beasts said was true ...we must hurry!
Reaching the site
- Straut Flamebourne: For those that doubt the power we hold, burn this image into your heart as our fires raze those that would stand against us.
- Straut Flamebourne: There are only two types of creatures in this world: the Charr, and their prey. Let us show those humans where they stand!
- Straut Flamebourne: Foolish little mice...such a pity that you must die before knowing the despair of seeing your people destoyed.
- Gwen: Despair? Let me teach you about despair...
Defeating all enemies
- Gwen: If those Shaman were attempting to make a show of their power, then all that they have proven is how powerless they are.
- Gwen: How I long for the day when I no longer stand in the shadow of these beasts.
- Gwen: I also fight for that day. Every step in this world is one that takes us closer to that future. I hope we can see it together, friend.
- Gwen: We should report this to Captain Langmar. She will want to know that the threat has passed.
[edit] Reward dialogue
Captain Langmar
- The Charr were attempting to recreate the ritual of the Searing? Had anyone else told me, I would not have believed such a thing possible. It is well that they did not succeed, and we can hope that their vile magic died with them. If it is true that the Charr needed the Titan that once dwelt in Sacnoth Valley for their ritual, the Ebon Vanguard will see that Charr never set foot here again. You have done a great deed for us all, [Character Name].
[edit] Notes
- Valid items are:
- Once you take the quest, the item is removed.
- As noted in the quest introduction above, if you wish to actually keep your Tattered Girl's Cape or Preserved Red Iris Flower, do not accept this quest. While the latter is somewhat easier to get another, the former requires a lot more work.
- If you go to the area just outside Eye of the North and pick up the Red Iris Flowers out there, those will do fine for acquiring the quest.
