Gilded Vale - Pillars of Eternity

01 Entrance from Valewood

Valewood

02

NPC: Urgeat

Magistrate Urgeat suggested that I have a rest at the inn while he looks into the matter of finding me a place to stay. Everything is at a standstill while he awaits word of the fate of Lord Raedric's Baby. Seems I've little choice but to wait and see what comes of it.

Now return to Valewood and setup a camp

You will have a dream.

Find the dwarf woman from the dream.

In my dream, I heard a message from a woman - a dead woman, hanging from the tree that stands at the center of Gilded Vale. It may be nothing more than a dream, but there was a strange realism to it. I need to return there and see for myself whether there was anything to it. My condition has not lifted, and I am not sleeping well.

Return to Gilded Vale

03 Tree

NPC: Caldara de Berranzi

NPC: Hanged Woman

The squat, distended body of an elderly dwarf woman dangles from a thin, crooked bough that sags at the tug of her noose. The bloated purple flesh of her neck, worn away in patches like moth-eaten linen, bulges over the rope that suspends her, and her lifeless head lolls forward rigidly from one side to the other when the breeze shifts.

You perceive a faint glow around her that casts no light on its surroundings, but there is a tepid warmth to it, and you feel somehow that you could reach out and touch it - not with your hands, but with some aspect of yourself that has no worldly dimension.

I have a word, now, for what I have become: a Watcher. It seems that if I am to learn more about this affliction, I must seek out a man called Maerwald, in the old keep of Caed Nua.

QUEST: The Old Watcher The Old Watcher

The spirit of Caldara de Berranzi, one of Lord Raedric's unfortunate victims, has directed me towards Caed Nua, where I will find a man named Maerwald. Caldara has informed me that I have become something known as a "Watcher," and that this Maerwald is a Watcher as well. Perhaps he can tell me more about what's happening to me.

04

NPC: Eder Fighter - Companion

You can join him to your party after talk.

QUEST: Fragments of a Scattered Faith Quest

Eder has agreed to travel with me. He seemed to have some questions he thought a Watcher might be able to answer.

06 The Black Hound Inn

07 Aufra's Home

NPC: Aufra

QUEST: A Mother's Plea A Mother's Plea

By order of the lord of Gilded Vale, all mothers who give birth to hollowborn children will be exiled from the village. Aufra worries that she may find herself among their number.

Travel to Anslog's Compass and Speak to Mother Ranga.

In Gilded Vale, I met Calisca's sister, Aufra. Aufra is expecting a child and is worried that she, too, will give birth to a hollowborn, as have many unlucky women before her. She has asked me to travel south to Anslog's Compass, where I can find Ranga, a midwife who is said to know a way to ensure that Aufra's child retains its soul.

You have to go to Anslogs's Compass (05)

After return from Anslogs's Compass

I returned the potion to Aufra, and told her the truth about the mixture. She was understandably disappointed, though still appreciative of my efforts. She holds little hope, now, however, that she and her child will have a future in Gilded Vale.

Tuatanu, Gilded Vale's smith, has been expecting a shipment of supplies for a long time. He worries that something has befallen the wagon, which was traveling along the eastern road towards Gilded Vale.

Shipment Crate for this quest can be found in Black Meadow (02)

I brought Tuatanu his missing shipment. He was pleased to have it, though he regretted the loss of his workers. He has promised to give me access to better goods, now that he has the resources to make them.

For Vengeance from the Grave Quest - Valewood Map (04)

NPC: NPC: Ingroed

Secret under the bed.

Confront Nonton

Having heard Ingroed's side of things, I decided to let her and Nonton leave Gilded Vale. Perhaps they can make a new life for themselves somewhere far from here.

12

QUEST: Against the Grain Against the Grain

Some of the farmers in Gilded Vale claim that Trumbel, the miller, is withholding grain. The hungry farmers are on edge, and it seems likely that the situation will escalate.

13 Trumbel's Mill

NPC: Trumbel

Resolve the feud between Trumbel and Sweynur.

I have spoken to Trumbel, the miller of Gilded Vale. He fears that his family will come under attack from a group of villagers who insist that he is charging them unjust prices for grain. He has asked me to speak with Sweynur, the leader of this group, and bring an end to the conflict. Sweynur is likely to be in the inn.

Report to Trumbel.

I have convinced Sweynur to stop threatening Trumbel and his family. Trumbel will be relieved to hear of it.

13 Trumbel's Mill

NPC: Trumbel

I convinced Sweynur to leave the miller and his family be. Sweynur and his buddies seemed rather despondent at this turn of events, but the miller was relieved to know his family will be safe.
