Walkthrough

Step 1: Speak with the Priest of Marr

Speak with the Priest of Marr in Qeynos to begin the quest.

Priest of Marr:

Many claim to serve the will of Marr.
Few prove worthy of that claim.
Strength alone does not bring justice.
Seek Exemplar Zarakiel in Diren's Hold.
He will determine whether your heart is guided by honor.

The Priest of Marr sends you to speak with Exemplar Zarakiel in Diren's Hold.

Step 2: Speak with Exemplar Zarakiel

Travel to Diren's Hold and speak with Exemplar Zarakiel.

Exemplar Zarakiel:

Bandits have preyed long enough upon the innocent.
They believe distance and fear place them beyond consequence.
Show them otherwise.
Bring me the sashes they wear so proudly.

Exemplar Zarakiel asks you to collect six Bandit Sash items.

Step 3: Collect Bandit Sashes

Defeat bandits and collect the following quest items:

After collecting all six Bandit Sash items, return to Exemplar Zarakiel.

Step 4: Return to Exemplar Zarakiel

Return to Exemplar Zarakiel with the six Bandit Sash items.

Exemplar Zarakiel:

These are proof enough.
The wicked often leave their own judgment behind them.
Return to the Priest of Marr.
Your next lesson awaits.

Return to the Priest of Marr in Qeynos.

Step 5: Return to the Priest of Marr

Speak with the Priest of Marr.

Priest of Marr:

Justice is only one part of the path.
Strength must also be turned toward preservation.
Seek Exemplar Alesthenies.
She will show you the burden of protection.

The Priest of Marr sends you to speak with Exemplar Alesthenies.

Step 6: Speak with Exemplar Alesthenies

Speak with Exemplar Alesthenies.

Exemplar Alesthenies:

There are those who cannot survive these roads without aid.
Walk with them.
Stand between them and the danger that follows.
Bring them safely to their destination, and then return to me.

Exemplar Alesthenies asks you to protect a group of villagers and escort them safely.

Step 7: Begin the Escort

Speak with the Pilgrim Leader to begin the escort.

Pilgrim Leader:

You are the one sent to guard us?
Then perhaps we still have a chance.
Stay close.
If trouble finds us, we will need your strength.

During the escort, keep close to the pilgrims and protect them from ambushes.

Pilgrim Traveler:

I do not trust these roads.
Something watches us from the hills.

Pilgrim Traveler:

We have come too far to turn back now.
May Marr guide your hand.

Step 8: Defend the Pilgrims

When the ambush begins, defeat the attackers and protect the pilgrims.

Pilgrim Leader:

They are here!
Hold them back!

After the ambush is defeated, continue escorting the pilgrims until they reach safety.

Step 9: Complete the Escort

Once the pilgrims reach their destination, speak with the Pilgrim Leader.

Pilgrim Leader:

We made it... because you did not fail us.
The road is safer for your presence upon it.
Alesthenies will hear of what you have done.

Return to Exemplar Alesthenies.

Step 10: Return to Exemplar Alesthenies

Speak with Exemplar Alesthenies after completing the escort.

Exemplar Alesthenies:

You did well.
Protection is not measured only by who survives, but by who was willing to stand firm when danger approached.
Return to the Priest of Marr.
He will speak to you of the road ahead.

Return to the Priest of Marr.

Step 11: Choose Your Path

Speak with the Priest of Marr.

Priest of Marr:

You have brought justice to the lawless and safety to the vulnerable.
Now you must decide which virtue will guide your future service.
Some hold that righteousness is best carried through judgment.
Others believe true strength lies in mercy and preservation.
Which path will you follow?

You must choose one of the following paths:

  • Justice
  • Mercy

Important: This choice is permanent and cannot be undone.

Path One: Justice

Step 12A: Choose Justice

Choose the Justice path.

Priest of Marr:

Then you will pursue Justice.
Seek the disciple who serves Zarakiel within this temple.
He will show you how devotion to justice is measured.

Speak with Zarakiel's Disciple.

Step 13A: Speak with Zarakiel's Disciple

Speak with Zarakiel's Disciple.

Zarakiel's Disciple:

Justice is not established with a single stroke.
It is upheld again and again until even the wicked understand it cannot be escaped.
Bring the sashes of the lawless and place them before the altar beside me.
Let every offering stand as proof that wrongdoing was answered.

Zarakiel's Disciple asks you to offer bandit sashes at the Altar of Justice.

Step 14A: Earn Champions of Marr Faction

Turn in the required items at the Altar of Justice.

Altar of Justice:

The altar stands ready to receive tokens of judgment.

Each turn-in increases your standing with the Champions of Marr.

Zarakiel's Disciple:

The weight of your work is now plain to all who serve Justice.
The Champions of Marr recognize your devotion.
Return to the Priest of Marr.
He will decide what teaching you have earned.

Return to the Priest of Marr.

Step 16A: Claim the Justice Reward

Speak with the Priest of Marr.

Priest of Marr:

The path of judgment is not an easy one.
Yet you have walked it with conviction.
A new discipline is now open to you.
Seek a Class Master and you will find the teaching waiting.

Completing the Justice path unlocks the Heal Upgrade reward.

Path Two: Mercy

Step 12B: Choose Mercy

Choose the Mercy path.

Priest of Marr:

Then you will pursue Mercy.
Seek Priestess Agilyna in Muelin's Reach.
She will show you how compassion is proven through action.

Speak with Priestess Agilyna in Muelin's Reach.

Step 13B: Speak with Priestess Agilyna

Travel to Muelin's Reach and speak with Priestess Agilyna.

Priestess Agilyna:

These lands are troubled by souls and hearts that have wandered from the light.
Bring me the prayer beads carried by those lost to corruption.
Each one returned is one more act of mercy offered in Marr's name.

Priestess Agilyna asks you to offer prayer beads at the Reliquary of Mercy.

Step 14B: Earn Followers of Marr Faction

Turn in the required items at the Reliquary of Mercy.

Reliquary of Mercy:

The reliquary glows softly with a patient warmth.

Each turn-in increases your standing with the Followers of Marr.

Turn-In Result:

The reliquary accepts the prayer beads and their light fades into its core.
Your standing with the Followers of Marr has increased.

Faction gain:
