Ulgorn: I'll keep asking around about the Destruction Archons on my own. You should go meet up with Dinoh and Hadala.

Ulgorn: Apparently, they came across a canyon with a strange aura.

Ulgorn: Where? Oh! Oops, I forgot the most important part. Carry on past the Guide Rest Stop and you'll come across the Battlescar Mound.

Ulgorn: Descend it a little, and you'll be there. Safe travels.

Step 1 · 4 lines

Dinoh: Well, well, well. ‹your name›, how have you been?

Dinoh: You've really toughened up. I can rest easy now that you're here.

Dinoh: I came across this canyon while on a mission from Nemon. Whole place is crawling with Balaur.

Hadala: Can't throw a rock without it landing on their footprints. ‹your name›, stay on your toes, and come back safely.

Step 2 · 1 line

Portions of the contamination are receding.

Step 3 · 4 lines

Dinoh: Did you finish looking around? Was anything in the canyon?

Hadala: It's home to a tribe that worships the Balaur?

Hadala: The Urugugu Tribe... Yes, I've heard of them. Aullaeu who used to worship Dragon Lord Tiamat.

Dinoh: The others'll want to hear about this. Let's head back to the Nornir Assembly.

Turning in · 13 lines

Ulgorn: What was the canyon like? Huh? Overrun with Balaur?

Nemon: Good work, Dinoh and Hadala. Menrik had some useful information for us, as well. Things are looking up.

Menrik: I have reason to believe a Destruction Archon might be imprisoned in the Dranactus Underkeep.

Menrik: From what we know, quite a number of Daeva are imprisoned there.

Menrik: Those who aren't worth turning into Fafnite, and... those with information too valuable to kill them.

Menrik: If any Daeva survived the battle at Impetusium, there's a high chance they'd be locked up there. At least, that's what my comrades inside say.

Menrik: I was already planning to go there to rescue them. Will you join, Nemon?

Nemon: For now... I think it's more important we find this Reuben over chasing down the Blades.

Ulgorn: I agree. Knowing that rotten bastard Gerod, he'll have set a trap wherever he's waiting anyway.

Nemon: I'm sure it won't be anything we can't overcome, but there's no need to dance to his tune by rushing into it. All right! Next stop, Dranactus!

Menrik: Fantastic! I'm sure we can be of great help to each other. I'll go ahead and get ready!

Nemon: Take care, Urd. We'll be back as soon as we can, keep an eye on the high priest until then.

Urd: Look after yourselves. Don't hesitate to come find me if anything happens.

When it is done

"From what we know, quite a number of Daeva are imprisoned there." Ulgorn asked you to investigate the suspicious Urugugu Canyon. While you carried out the investigation, he said he would look into the whereabouts of the missing Destruction Archon. You defeated the Urugugu tribe loyal to the Balaur in the strange canyon. Meanwhile, Menrik, commander of the Fang Legion, brought word that a surviving Destruction Archon might be imprisoned in the Dranactus Underkeep. You decided to head to Dranactus Fortress.
