Objectives

Slay the Hailstone Lieutenant summoned from the Ice Stone located at Ethel Rethor in Desolace, then return to the Earthen Ring Elder in a capital city.

•  Hailstone Lieutenant slain

Description

We must act to preserve the balance! Time is against us.

There is a camp located in the shadow of Ethel Rethor within northwestern Desolace. There, they use ice stones to communicate with the elementals, as they do in Silithus. Much as I am loath to do this, the spirits will understand - you must summon one of this Ahune's lieutenants and destroy it. Perhaps this forestalling action will be enough...

Rewards

You will receive:  [Burning Blossom] x10 and 8
