In order to properly construct a monument to the citizens of Ascalon who were killed during the Searing, Symon the Scribe needs a census.

Quest information[edit]

Requirements[edit]

Objectives[edit]

Reward[edit]

Walkthrough[edit]

Leave Ascalon City. Head southwest under the bridge past Warmaster Grast. Veer to the left past Ambassador Zain's little camp down into the ditch ( this was the river in pre searing Ascalon ) and continue heading southwest. You'll face off against some gargoyles and devourers, but if you take on the groups one at a time, you'll have no problems getting to the chest containing the census.

Once you have the census in hand, go back to Ascalon City and give it to Symon the Scribe.

Dialogue[edit]

Initial dialogue[edit]

Symon the Scribe
"King Adelbern has commissioned a monument to those who died in the Searing. I am compiling a list of the names of the fallen, but I don't have all the records I need. I believe a copy of the old census might have survived in the ruins of Old Ascalon. If you could get it for me, it would be a great help."
Yes Accept: "I'll take care of it."
No Decline: "I'm sorry. I have other things I must do."
Ask Ask: "Have you found the census? I need it to finish compiling the list of fallen for the king's monument. Lyssa willing, it'll be in the ruins in Old Ascalon."

Reward dialogue[edit]

Symon the Scribe
"You found the census! Oh, I'm most...grateful to you. I almost said I was delighted, but one look at this list...so many lost. If we took a census today, the list wouldn't be half this long."

Notes[edit]

  • Warrior primaries can complete Gargoyle Trouble while doing this quest. There's gargoyles down in the ditch that satisfy the requirements for that quest.
  • A quicker route is had by starting from Sardelac Sanitarium, and heading East.
