Councilor Vaylor is located right outside the entrance to Ventari's Refuge.

Dialogue

Initial dialogue

Gareth Quickblade

"We have been betrayed by one of our own! A traitor has given away the locations of the Shining Blade's bases throughout the region. In response to Hablion's death, they are launching a massive strike led by the Demagogue.

Scouts have reported a vanguard comprising three groups; they're currently pushing towards Quarrel Falls. We must warn Councilor Vaylor outside of Ventari's Refuge. I need you to head them off and buy us some time."

 Accept: "I'll do it!"

 Decline: "Do it yourself."

 Ask: "Head south and eliminate all three White Mantle groups."

Reward dialogue

Councilor Vaylor

"You have bought us time, hero. Your deeds today will not be forgotten, and you certainly won't go unrewarded by the Shining Blade. We are grateful for your assistance.

Gareth's support will be here shortly."

Notes

• The Cane awarded has the Deadly Cesta skin. The stats on that wand cannot be replicated, since there are no Wand Wrappings nor Inscriptions that increase maximum health.

Bug.There's a chance of Maguuma Warriors spawning and attacking the last group of White Mantle. If they kill any White Mantle before the player, the quest will not update and the player must restart from Quarrel Falls.

Anomaly.This quest may be taken prematurely if the player follows the quests Mysterious Message and The Price of Steel to Quarrel Falls. In doing so, the player could miss the storyline of The Wilds and Bloodstone Fen, which precedes White Mantle Wrath: Demagogue's Vanguard, as indicated by the quest's dialogue.
