Find out what happened to High-King Emeric's messenger. Zone: Wrothgar Quest Giver: Offer of Amnesty in Watcher's Hold Location(s): Watcher's Hold Reward: Average Leveled Gold XP Gain: Standard XP ID: 5317

"Your long vigil is over. It's time to come home. Cease your banditry and murder of Orc travelers."

I found a letter from High-King Emeric offering amnesty to the bandits who reside in the ruins of Watcher's Hold. The royal messenger also brought a chest of gold as a sign of the king's good faith.

Quick Walkthrough

1. Discover the messenger's fate.
2. Talk to Sergeant Oufa in Orsinium.

Detailed Walkthrough

While exploring the depths of Watcher's Hold, you may find a little camp set up in the corner of the hold's most rectangular chamber. After cutting through the Pale Watch clan members that have made the hold their home, you may find a letter sitting on a round table in the back. This letter mentions the King's alliance with the Orcs, and grants the hold's occupants amnesty, so long as they cease the slaying of Orc travelers.

This letter, however, is missing its messenger. Scour the Hold to find them: in the raised area east of the camp, you may find a second letter. This one, unfortunately, paints a different picture, where its author mentions the royal messenger's demise to a troll and disbelieves the High-King's alliance. After reading it, a Gargoyle appears, prompting you to either kill it or flee.

If you, instead, accepted the quest via a similar letter on a crate nearby Sergeant Oufa, or decide to backtrack, you can find the Royal Messenger's body in a tunnel right outside the crumbled tower inside the hold:

<Something very powerful snapped the neck of King Emeric's royal messenger, then gnawed upon his legs.>
<You spot a messenger's ring proving the bearer's station.>

Now knowing the fate of the royal messenger, head back to Orsinium, and relay the unfortunate news to Sergeant Oufa:

"I imagined Wrothgar would be like the desert at night, but I could not have imagined a cold such as this."

I went to Watcher's Hold. The royal messenger is dead.

"Then the bandits gave their answer. Heartless dogs! They were knights, once.
When the Lion Guard marches, they'll receive an honorable death."

You will be given a bit of gold as payment.

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.
