From Fedel to the Cursewood
Speak toFedelwithin theDuke's DemesneinGran Sorento obtain this quest. Fedel seeks a meeting after nightfall to explain the sensitivity concerning the loss of the letter.
Sleep at the inn until night and head to theDuke's Demesnein theNoble Quarter. Avoid the night guards and wait forFedelby the gazebo in the eastern garden area. Fedel takes time(upto 5 minutes) to come out, so be patient. There,Fedelwill explain his quest and direct the Arisen to a location in theCursewoodwhere the lost confidential report was stolen by flying monsters.
At the crossroads in the Cursewood, the Arisen will find the remains of Fedel's cart and aGargoylewill be seen flying away to the northwest towardsSoulflayer Canyon.
Into Soulflayer Canyon
Now travel to Soulflayer Canyon to retrieve the letter. Reaching the correct ledge in the canyon can be a little tricky, but a pawn with full knowledge of this quest and Soulflayer Canyon will lead the Arisen directly to it.
From the west entrance, take a left at the passage fork. After slaying theCyclopson the bridge, continuestraight until reaching a treasure chest on the left side and a steep downward grade on the right side.Slide down theleft side of this grade to the landing with twoGodsthrone Blossoms(sliding down the right side leads to the main entrance). Slide down two more times toward the left to another area that may contain a snake and two spiders.
Collect some gold pouches, aPanaceaand twoSconceson the left before encountering yet another downward slide. Slide down the right side of this downward grade to a landing with more gold pouches, the fleeingGargoyle, quest items scattered on the ground, and a chest containing aSteel Beak.
Slay the Gargoyle and collect theConfidential Letteras well as theParcelslying scattered on the ground and return toGran Soren.
If entering from the east, just traverse the tunnels of the canyon until the fork after the west entrance is reached, and continue as above.
Return to Gran Soren
Back in the capital, one may want to make forgeries of theConfidential Letterat theBlack Catafore handing it in.
Upon entering theDuke's Demesne, the Arisen will be accosted bySer Gabrianwho was lurking behind a corner to the right of the entrance. This is the only opportunity to speak to Ser Gabrian. Either give him a copy or refuse. If refused, the letter must then be taken to Fedel.
The quest ends when the Arisen brings back theConfidential LettertoFedel, orSer Gabrian.
Rewards and outcomes
By forging the letter, the Arisen can obtain the gold and experience reward for the quest twice: first when giving one toSer Gabriannear the entrance, and the second toFedel. To collect both rewards,Ser Gabrianmust be given his copy first, thenFedelthe second one.
The storyline will not be altered either way the Arisen handles this quest, thoughFedelis correct about signs of a rebellion. It seems the letter refers to the soldiers who later rebel atWindbluff Tower.Ser Gabrianis almost certainly trying to intercept the letter and thus is in league with the treachery at Windbluff Tower.
The sedition reaches its peak during the revolt in the later questPride Before a Fall.
Quest Notes
- Caution ! Completing both Trial and Tribulations and Griffin's Bane will cause this quest to fail if it is not already complete.
- Fedel will always observe that the seal on the letter is unbroken, whether given a forgery or not.
