The royalists have retreated to the Glitterdelve Mine, where they are trapped by Jeyne Kassynder and her army. If Queen Roslyn is captured or killed, the people of western Ehb will surrender, and your war will be lost.

Walkthrough

Find the Entrance to the Mines

You’ll find the entrance to the mines (#4) to the west of Ibsen’s cave (#1). When you reach it, you’ll run into Phineas and Roderick (who you might remember from the swamp), and they’ll talk to you about geomancy, the dwarves, and Queen Roslyn. At the end of the conversation, the entrance gate to the mines will close, and you won’t be able to return to Ibsen.

Talk to Queen Roslyn

To get to Roslyn (#11), you’ll need to make your way through the mines. Nothing will attack you during this time, so fee free to explore thoroughly. When you reach Roslyn, you’ll have a short conversation with her, but then Jeyne’s army will attack, and you’ll receive the quests Enemy at the Gates and Uninvited Guests. Your conversation with Roslyn will complete the quest and earn you 2683 xp.


1 – Ibsen


2 – Avalanche

When you reach this spot, Jeyne’s cannon fire will cause an avalanche, blocking you from returning to Ibsen (#1). So make sure you’ve completed his side quests before getting here.

At this spot you’ll encounter Roderick fighting off two dakkenweyrs, and you’ll have to help him in the battle.


4 – Phineas and Roderick


5 – Floating Platform

If you interact with this platform, then it will take you to the two treasure chests ($) to the west.


6 – Floating Platform

To call this platform to you, you’ll need to interact with the nearby red crystal (which will then turn green).


7 – Locked Gate

You won’t be able to go through this gate until after you’ve spoken to the queen (#11).


8 – Royalist Soldiers

The soldiers will prevent you from traveling south. They won’t get out of your way until you’ve spoken with the queen (#11).


9 – Barracks

At the back of the barracks you’ll find a book that will give you the lore entry for History of Ehb.

Inside this room you’ll find the lore entries for Kings and Queens of Ehb, Spy’s Report: Jeyne Kassynder, and Spy’s Report: The Spire of Azunai.
