If the player character or [[Shadowheart]] undergoes the Mapping, Viconia will remove her hood revealing her identity and invite the party to the Cloister. She explains that she knows the party has the artefact in their possession and that she needs it to destroy the Absolute.

The party can either agree, starting [[Surrender Shadowheart to Viconia]] quest, or refuse, which starts a fight. If Shadowheart is a Dark Justiciar, then she can convince some of the cultists to fight along with the party, taking over the cloister after Viconia's defeat. | If the player character or [[Shadowheart]] undergoes the Mapping, Viconia will remove her hood revealing her identity and invite the party to the Cloister.
