Travel: Valley of the Dead¶

Now that you’ve found the Sisters - and survived their treachery - it’s time to head to the Valley of the Dead. Fortunately, in tracking the Sisters down you also claimed the Cyclops Incense Burners they held, which are the keys to gaining access to what they sought. If anything could bring ruin to a city like Varnhold, a place named the “Valley of the Dead” seems to be an appropriate place to search. To get there from the Kellid Barbarian Camp, follow these directions:

• West
• South
• South
• Southwest

Along the way there, you’ll be stopped by a not-so-random encounter, where your old friend, the black bird, will show up and bother you again. This time it has a generous offer for you: submit to its master, Vordakai, the Chosen of the Four Horsemen and the Keeper of the Oculus of Abaddon. After empty title-reading, the bird will admit its master was indeed behind the Varnhold vanishing, and will instruct you that you need three incense burners - which you should already have.

After that encounter, you can continue on your way:

• Southwest
• South

Opening the Gate¶

When you arrive, follow a trail north a short distance to reach a gate. Interact with it and pick the option [Light the three incense burners from the tombs and hang them on the hooks on the center of the gate] to open the gate in… somewhat dramatic fashion. Continue north past the gate to find an area transition to Vordakai’s Tomb.
