Campaign	Prophecies
Quest item for	Then and Now, Here and There

[edit] Acquisition

The Tapestry Shred can only be obtained by giving Gwen some gifts, the most common way are to give her a Small Girl's Cape, a new Flute, and least 3-5 Red Iris Flowers or just give her Red Iris Flowers until she gives you the Tapestry Shred.

[edit] Used for Quests

After completing the Primary Vanguard Quests in Eye of the North, go back to Gwen in the Hall Of Monuments with the Tapestry Shred in your inventory and she will give you the quest: Then and Now, Here and There. The Tapestry Shred will disappear if you accept the quest.

[edit] Notes

• If Gwen is spoken to in the Hall of Monuments while holding this item, she acknowledges it by saying "I can't believe you held onto that for so long. But with the Ebon Vanguard missing, my own past must be put aside for now. We'll have time for this matter after my friends are rescued."
• After completing the Primary Vanguard Quests in the Charr Homelands, characters from Prophecies are able to receive the quest Then and Now, Here and There when the Tapestry Shred is in their inventory.
• There is a viral bug with this quest; see [1]. If a character who has not gotten the shred goes out with anyone who has gotten the shred, that character can't get it, and anyone they go out with can't either. The workaround is to create a pre-searing character, get the shred with that character, and trade to the character that's bugged. In short, do not party with anyone until you have the shred.
• When farming Gwen favor, so to speak, drop all of your flowers, because otherwise she'll ask for every flower in your inventory, but it seems to only count as though you had given her one.
• This item can be transfered between characters, however it can only be used by Prophecies characters.
