A Voice from the Past Quest in Pillars of Eternity
QUEST GIVER: Dalton
A Voice from the Past
Today I met Dalton, a retired adventurer in Copperlane. He's been hearing the voice of Rowyna, his lover and comrade who died at his side almost 60 years ago.
In his dreams, she wanders the catacombs beneath the city. He's asked me to venture down there to search for her.
Enter the catacombs.
Dalton told me of an entrance to the catacombs in the southwest corner of Copperlane. I'll need to find it if I'm to search for Rowyna.
Search for Rowyna.
I've made it into the catacombs. Unfortunately, Dalton couldn't give me more specific directions, but if Rowyna's been wandering around down here, there's bound to be some sign of her.
I've spoken with Eorn, an orlan hiding in the catacombs. He hasn't seen Rowyna, but he mentioned hearing voices coming from the northwest side of the canal.
Travel to Brackenbury Sanitarium.
I met Helig of Thein, the wizard who killed Rowyna all those years ago. He claims to know where she is, but he demanded a favor from me.
Helig wants me to retrieve his grimoire to settle an old debt. He's confident that it's been locked away by Moedred, an animancer at Brackenbury Sanitarium and Helig's old rival.
Retrieve Helig's research from Moedred's laboratory.
I've entered Brackenbury Sanitarium. According to Helig, Moedred keeps everything of value in a trunk in his laboratory. He's given me a key to open it.
Moedred confessed to killing Helig, but he also explained that Helig was a vile and dangerous man. I could continue helping Helig, or I could return to the catacombs and finish what Moedred started.
Kill Helig of Thein.
I recovered an amulet containing Rowyna's soul. Giving this to Dalton would likely bring him comfort, albeit at Rowyna's expense; I doubt she's enjoyed being held prisoner in it for so many years.
Return to Dalton in Copperlane.
Helig had imprisoned Rowyna's soul in a bloodstone amulet. I convinced Dalton to destroy it to set her free.
