Explore Grymforge.
- We entered the ruins of what may have been a fortress dedicated to the goddess Shar. We could be close to the Dark Justiciar's lair.
- We found the corpses of several Dark Justiciars - Shar must have been worshipped here. Shadowheart suggested we search for answers.
- We found traces of hellish fiends. Could they have killed the Dark Justiciars? If so, where is their temple of Shar?
Reach the Ancient Temple
- We learned that Grymforge leads to an ancient temple. Perhaps the truth of what happened to the Dark Justiciars can be discovered there.
- The bridge to the ancient temple has been destroyed - there must be another way in.
- The cultists were trying to find an ancient temple, but the bridge has been destroyed. If we find another way in, we might discover what happened to the Dark Justiciars.
- It seems that there are limits to Shadowheart's resistance to the shadow curse - she is as vulnerable as anyone wherever the shadows are strongest. Perhaps her goddess tests her.
- A great many Dark Justiciars seem to have perished while fighting near the graveyard. We must be drawing close to the place Shadowheart wishes to find.
