The Mapping of the Heart begins once the bench is sat on. An Inquirer of Grief will appear and begin asking questions. With a successful [[Perception]] check, the party can realize the Inquirer is using [[Detect Thoughts]] to probe through their thoughts. Selecting "Drop the act. You're not here to help - you're trying to dig around in my thoughts." will end the Mapping prematurely. If the party continues to answer the questions, they will be diagnosed with either a Violent Heart, Craven Heart, Jealous Heart, Yearning Heart, Prying Heart, or False Heart. If Shadowheart is in the party and sits on the bench, the Inquirer will forego the Mapping and simply reveal herself, telling Shadowheart she has much to discuss. | The [[Mapping of the Heart]] begins once the bench is sat on.

If the Intimidation or Persuasion checks are passed, then Viconia will relent. However, she demands that Shadowheart be handed over. The party can either agree, starting [[Surrender Shadowheart to Viconia]], or refuse, which starts a fight. Defeating Viconia or giving Shadowheart over to her resolves the quest. If Shadowheart left the party permanently (and is considered dead), Viconia will complain that it should be her who killed Shadowheart, attacking the party, unless | If the Intimidation or Persuasion checks are passed, then Viconia will relent.
