Main Quest 21: The Looming Shadow

This mission begins in Meridian, so head over there. Once you arrive, head to the Temple of the Sun and speak with the Sun-King Avad. Afterwards, go down and speak with Blameless Marad. Now you’ll have one main objective and two side objectives. If you want to continue with the story, make you way over to the first way point and rest before the battle.

Otherwise, head south towards one of the markers. When you get to the ridge, speak to Teb and Petra outside the city gate. After that, make your way to the spire and speak to the Nora War Chief, Varl, and Erend. Once you’re done, head back to the city, head to Olin’s house on your map, and get some rest. NOTE: THIS IS A POINT OF NO RETURN, FINISH UP ANY OTHER SIDE QUEST YOU WANT TO BEFORE COMMITTING TO THIS. Sleeping will end the quest, now on to the final battle!
