Detailed Walkthrough

This quest can be started by reading the Elsweyr Defense Force Summons on a notice board at any Event Exchange outside of Northern Elsweyr. It can also be started directly from the Crown Store. Either, way, you will be directed to Captain Samara at the Event Exchange outside of Rimmen.

Speak to Captain Samara. She will inform you of the need to train up for the fight against Dragons, and give you three trials to complete: The Trial of Knowledge, the Trial of Endurance, and the Trial of Bravery. You must speak with Apprentice Taz to get more information on these tasks.

Trial of Knowledge

The Trial of Knowledge comprises of going to the Scar and finding the Tablet of Dragon Slaying. This is located directly east of the Stitches and southwest of Orcrest. The tablet is in a dirt pile at the bottom of a cliff, with sparkling motes of light above it. Once you have it, return to the Stitches and hand it over to Taz.

You also have the optional task of completing a quiz to test your knowledge. The answers are: Flying, Akatosh, Atronachs.

Trial of Endurance

The Trial of Endurance comprises of going to either of Northern Elsweyr's public dungeons, Orcrest or the Rimmen Necropolis, and taking the Elsweyr Defense Conference Banner that lays within. If you are doing this stage directly after the Trial of Knowledge, Orcrest is very close by.

In Orcrest, the standard can be found in front of the Plague of Crows. In the Rimmen Necropolis, the standard can be found in the Tomb of the Manes, in the hallway before the group event with Jinninji-ri, Zebiden-jo, and Tullar-dra.

You also have the optional task of killing any dungeon boss. Note that while delves can be considered dungeons, delve bosses do not count for this. Group Events do count for this, and in the case of Rimmen Necropolis where the group event comprises of three individual bosses, only one boss must be killed to count for this trial.

Trial of Bravery

The Trial of Bravery comprises of finding and killing a Dragon and looting a Dragon Heart from it.

You also have the optional task of killing a second dragon.

When all three of the above tasks are complete (and any optional steps), return to Captain Samara.

Notes

* Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the game and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.

• Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
• Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
