+'''The Blade of Frontiers''' is the [[Companion]] [[Quest]] for {{CharLink|Wyll}}. It is automatically added to the journal when he joins the party inside the [[Druid Grove]].
 ==Objectives==
-''Objectives and journal entries may vary pending player decisions.''
+''Objectives and journal entries may vary pending story decisions.''
-*Find the Goblin Camp.
+{{Quest objective|Hunt down Karlach.|
-**We met Wyll, a renowned monster hunter from Baldur's Gate. He wants to help the tieflings by taking out the goblin leaders.
+* We recruited Wyll, a monster hunter known as the Blade of Frontiers. He is on a mission to kill Karlach, a powerful devil who is a danger to the entire Sword Coast.
+* We met a group of paladins who seek Karlach, the very same target who Wyll is hunting. They provided us with her exact whereabouts.
+}}
+{{Quest objective|Talk to Wyll about Karlach.|
+* We located Karlach, who was not the treacherous devil Wyll believed her to be. We resolved the situation peacefully, but Wyll owes us an explanation.
+}}
+{{Quest objective|Rest at camp.|
+* Wyll spoke ominously about a penance he must face. We should take a long rest when the opportunity strikes; there's clearly a lot the Blade of Frontiers isn't telling us.
+}}
+{{Quest objective|Continue travelling with Wyll.|
+* We met Wyll's diabolical patron, Mizora, who was none too happy to find that Wyll failed to slay Karlach. She punished Wyll for his disobedience by turning him into a devil and departed - though it seems likely we'll meet her again.
+}}
+{{Quest objective|Rescue Zariel's asset from Moonrise Towers.|
+* Mizora appeared in the form of a projection to inform us that the Absolute cult abducuted an infernal asset of some importance to the archdevil Zariel. We should find and release them - Wyll's very soul hangs in the balance.
+* We've delved deep into Moonrise Towers. We should search the area thoroughly - the devil that Mizora asked us to rescue must be nearby.
+}}
+{{Quest objective|Wait for Mizora to be in Contact.|
+* Zariel's asset turned out to be Mizora herself. In return for our help, she promised to release Wyll from his pact, but only after six months had passed. She disappeared again - but not before promising she'd find us soon enough.
+We've reach Wyrm's Crossing, on the outskirts of Baldur's Gate. We should keep an eye out for Mizora.
+}}
+{{Quest objective|Attend Gortash's ordination ceremony.|
+*
+}}
+{{Quest objective|Return to Mizora.|
+* The ceremony is over. We should return to Mizora.
+}}
+{{Quest objective|Rest at camp.|
+* Mizora asked us to meet her in camp. She has an important proposal to make regarding Wyll's father, Grand Dule Ravengard.
+}}
+{{Quest objective|Continue forth with Wyll.|
+* Mizora gave Wyll a choice. He could agree to an eternal pact with her and Zariel, and she would reveal where his father's been taken and ensure his safe return. Or he could break his pact with Mizora, dooming his father to die in Gortash's secret command centre. Wyll broke the pact, choosing his freedom over his father's life.

Or he could break his pact with Mizora, dooming his father to die in Gortash's secret command centre. Wyll broke the pact, choosing his freedom over his father's life.
+}}
+{{Quest objective|Read The Legend of Ansur.|
+* We've retrieved a book called 'The Legend of Ansur'. We should read it.
+* Duke Ravengard told Wyll the only way to save Baldur's Gate from the Absolute scourge is to awaken a powerful wyrm called Ansur who sleeps under the city. A tome called 'The Legend of Ansur' is key to finding the entrance to the wyrm's lair.
+}}
+{{Quest objective|Find the entrance to Ansur's lair, the Wyrmway.|
+* After reading 'The Legend of Ansur', we discovered the great wyrm Ansur resides in a secret lair called the Wyrmway. The entrance is apparently located somewhere within Wyrm's Rock Prison, and the notes inside it hint that opening the way involves lightning sparks and torches.
+}}
+{{Quest objective|Return to Ravengard.|
+* We defeated the resurrected remains of the great wyrm Ansur. We should return to camp and inform Duke Ravengard.
+}}
+{{Quest objective|Quest Complete|
+* With his father's blessing, Wyll announced himself the Blade of Avernus. He is devoted to protecting the Sword Coast from infernal threats by hunting devils, both within the Hells and without.
+}}
+== Walkthrough==
+'''Note that Wyll’s story spans the entire game, and has spoilers for all Acts of the game.'''
+===Recruiting Wyll===
+{{CharLink|Wyll}} can be first encountered when he joins the fight outside of the [[Emerald Grove]]. Afterwards, the party can find him inside the grove training young Tiefling refugees. He can be recruited to the party, and will explain that he is hunting a devil named {{CharLink|Karlach}}.
+===Hunt down Karlach===
+[[File:Wyll Karlach Head Quest.jpg|thumb|Off with her head!]]
+The party can find Karlach down the hill from the [[The_Risen_Road#Toll_House|Toll House]]. Karlach can be spoken to and recruited, freed or killed. If Wyll is in the party, the two will have a confrontation.
+If Karlach is recruited to the party before speaking to Wyll, he will show up at camp to confront her. Wyll or Karlach can each be asked to leave, be killed, or the situation can be resolved peacefully.
+If Karlach is encountered and recruited without Wyll in the party, they will have a confrontation the next [[Long Rest]].
+===Meeting Mizora===
+During a long rest, {{CharLink|Mizora}} will manifest at camp. If Karlach was killed, she will gift Wyll the {{SmRarityItem|Infernal Robe}}. Otherwise, she will punish Wyll and his appearance will permanently change.
+===Rescue Zariel's Asset ===
+Mizora will manifest a second time either at camp or the entrance to [[Moonrise Towers]], this time to request that the party rescue one of Zariel's assets, who has been trapped at Moonrise Towers. During this conversation, she can be persuaded to end {{CharLink|Wyll|Wyll's}} contract in exchange for rescuing the asset.
+Zariel's asset cannot be found in Moonrise Towers proper, rather they can only be saved after entering the [[Mind Flayer Colony]]. Here, the party can find Mizora herself trapped within a pod in the [[Tadpoling Centre]].
+Mizora can be freed from the pod, or killed. However, killing her will '''also kill Wyll'''. If the party frees her, she can be persuaded to gift the {{SmRarityItem|Infernal Rapier}} to Wyll. If the party also tries to end Wyll's contract, she can relent, but will stipulate that it will take another six months for the pact to end.
+===Mizora at Wyrm's Crossing===
+After reaching [[Wyrm's Crossing]] in [[Act 3]], Mizora can be found loitering in Wyrm's Rock Fortress or just before the transition to the [[Lower City]]. She asks that the party attend Gortash's ordination. Afterwards, she will offer to save Duke Ravengard if Wyll keeps his contract. (See [[Rescue the Grand Duke]] for this sub-quest).
+===The Great Wyrm===
+If Duke Ravengard is successfully saved, regardless of whether Wyll's pact was broken, he will give the party the quest to gather the aid of the great wyrm {{CharLink|Ansur}}.
+If the Duke perishes, or Wyll breaks his pact, walking around in the [[Lower City]] may trigger an encounter with {{CharLink|Florrick|Counsellor Florrick}}, who confronts the party and accuses Wyll of killing his father. If Florrick is dead or still imprisoned, {{CharLink|Cordula Eltan}} takes her place. If he is in the party, Wyll retorts that this is disinformation being spread by Mizora. Talking Florrock or Eltan down will result in her providing the necessary information to begin the quest. If they cannot be dissuaded from attacking, the information can also be claimed from the corpse of either Florrick or Eltan.
+Ansur can be found by travelling to [[Wyrm's Rock Prison]]. Here, the party must travel down the western passage way to find two dragon sconces. The sconces must be hit with electricity damage to light them. Past the new opening is the Wyrmway. After the [[Wyrmway|Wyrmway's trials]] are completed, Ansur can be found and must be fought against.
+After defeating Ansur the party should return to camp to inform Duke Ravengard if he lives, and Wyll can come to a decision about his future. Wyll can decide to become the Blade of Avernus, or follow his father's political path of Grand Duke of Baldur's Gate.
+== Rewards ==
+* {{MdRarityItem|Infernal Rapier}} for freeing Mizora in the Mind Flayer Colony, if Wyll is in the party and persuading her to give the party a reward for their troubles.
+* {{MdRarityItem|Infernal Robe}} if recruiting Wyll and killing Karlach. Mizora will give this on the following Long Rest.
