Quest-Related Events

When you arrive in Gonfalon Bay, you will be tasked by Lady Arabelle Davaux to investigate why some important "cargo" has gone missing prior to the upcoming conference. The Gonfalon Head Lighthouse is one of the locations you will be asked to investigate. When you first enter the lighthouse, you will find Light-Keeper Menoit kneeling before the unlit beacon.

Talk with Menoit to learn what happened:

"Oh! A traveler. I thought those vile knights had returned.
Forgive me. I must continue praying for the return of our idol. Without it, this tower's light will remain dark."

What happened to the lighthouse flame?

"This lighthouse is special. It's blessed by Kynareth, the god of winds and sea. No fire serves as a beacon for nearby ships, but the divine light of Kynareth herself! But without the sacred idol, the light cannot shine.
Alas, the idol was stolen."

Who stole the idol?

"Knights in unmarked livery broke in and stole the Kynareth idol! I watched the scoundrels flee to the west with the sacred edifice.
Perhaps … dare I ask … would you be willing to recover the idol for the lighthouse so I may restore the beacon?"

Tell me more about these knights first.

"They may wear the garb of knights, but the ruffians who assaulted me carry themselves like robbers and outlaws.
Whoever they are, they're dangerous. Be wary of them and may the wind guide you."

I'll find the knights and retrieve the idol.

After you agree to help you can ask questions about the lighthouse:

"Bless you, traveler! Please understand: To my order, this is more than just a lighthouse. This beacon spreads Kynareth's blessing across both land and sea. But only with the idol in place, so it must be returned."

What else can you tell me about the lighthose?

"It is marvelous, is it not? This is actually the second beacon to stand atop Gonfalon Head. It dates back to the early first century. When I assumed my duties here, the tower was in poor repair. Dangerous, even."

It seems fine now.

"When Duchess Elea Dufort assumed her father's duties a few years ago, she ordered a complete renovation of the structure. I'm sure she wanted to protect trade in Gonfalon Bay, but she spared no expense in rebuilding the lighthouse."

You can head to the camp to the west and retrieve the Idol of Kynareth and then return

Light-Keeper Menoit: "You return, and with the idol! Place it here and I shall call forth its light."

Before placing the idol:

"Place the idol here and I will invoke the rites to call forth its light."

When you place the idol, Light-Keeper Menoit will place her hand before it and begin to pray:

Light-Keeper Menoit: "Mother Kynareth, this traveler has set right the desecration of this holy place. Return to us your blessing and let your light shine over the land and sea."

<Light appear in the brazier and a fire appears.>

After the lighthouse beacon is re-lit, you can question Light-Keeper Menoit about the three missing ships:

"I cannot thank you enough. With the idol returned and the light restored, we can ensure the safe passage of many a weary traveler.
Is there any way a priest of humble means could repay you? A blessing perhaps?"

Three ships never arrived in Gonfalon Bay. Did you see anything from up here?

"Hmm. Shortly after the lighthouse was pillaged, I spied three ships on the horizon. Then suddenly the clouds darkened and a terrible storm began to blow in. I lost sight of the ships after that.
Perhaps they were simply blown off course?"

Is that sort of weather common here?

"Amenos is notorious for its storms, but Kynareth generally blesses High Isle with fair weather.
I wonder … the way this storm swept in seemed unnatural. And it happened so soon after Kynareth's idol was removed."

Do you think that's why the knights attacked the lighthouse?

"The idol has little value outside the lighthouse. It's light does not shine in any other location. My order believes Kynareth's light blesses High Isle. Why steal the idol unless the knights meant to revoke her protection? A troubling thought indeed."

If spoken to again:

"Wind guide you, traveler. I hope you find the answers you seek."
