Caught in a Trap

You can speak with Grimmer on the road outside, who explains what happened at Leftwheal and asks you to help Baroness Eliana. You can also start the quest directly by speaking with her in Leftwheal.

Baroness Eliana and her group of survivors can be found in the tunnels beneath the trading post, speak with her to find out how you can help:

If you were sent by Grimmer:

Otherwise:

"You've chosen a poor time to come and trade, traveler. Leftwheal is under siege by the Recollection and their bizarre beasts. If you can lend aid, tend to the wounded, if not, you best be on your way." Grimmer sent me. "He did? Apologies for my terse greeting. If you still came here after hearing what's happened then you're braver than most. I'll take all the help I can get putting a stop to this Recollection invasion."

"Hold a moment, traveler. I'm afraid the town isn't safe. As the Baroness of Leftwheal, I must insist you find shelter with the evacuated civilians. I won't risk anyone else getting hurt under my watch." (?)

The Recollection is attacking?

"Yes, some of the survivors overheard the cultists call themselves the Recollection. I've never dealt with them before, but they're here now. Worst of all, they seem to be summoning in terrible creatures at ritual sites across town."

Rituals?

"Yes. If you can put a stop to their rituals and free anyone still trapped in town, I'll be in your debt. As Baroness of Leftwheal, I promise to make it worth your while."

I'll stop their rituals and save any remaining civilians.

After you agree to help, you can ask her some questions before continuing:

"Thank you for the aid, traveler. Return to me when you've stopped their rituals and freed who you can. The sooner we save everyone and put a stop to the Recollection the better. I just wish I had done more to prevent this."

You think this is your fault?

"Magical relics make for a lucrative import as long as inspections and magical protections aren't in the way. The merchant lords pressured me to waive these precautions, and for what? So a few trade masters could fill their coffers."

Magical relics caused this?

"I'm certain of it. Those relics are being used to channel their rituals. When I became baroness, I promised to put the people of Leftwheal first. I thought, with the gold, we could expand.
Now they've paid the price for my poor judgment."

We can still help them.

"I don't deserve your kindness. Please, save those I couldn't. The weight on my heart will be so much more bearable when this is over. If I may make one last request? Show them no mercy."

Can you tell me more about Leftwheal?

"For a time it was a modest trading post connecting Skingrad merchants with Hammerfell. Now we broker trade with the Gold Coast and northern Dominion territories. Every transaction has helped Leftwheal grow into the trading center of Colovia."

And what's your role exactly?

"As the trading post grew, the need for more stability rose. Eventually Leftwheal became a proper town and, with that, came the need for a baroness who tends to its citizens' needs while balancing the demands of the merchant lords."

What sort of demands?

"More often than not? Lower taxes. As I said, every transaction is meant to benefit Leftwheal's citizens. But lately, they've wanted more freedom in what they can bring in for trade.
If I'd stood my ground, maybe none of this would have happened."

Entering Leftwheal proper, you can rescue Marcellus Murrius, Meetei, Evo Seringi and Juc Mezon. You will also need to destroy various ritual sites around the town. Once you have completed your tasks you can leave Leftwheal and meet with Baroness Eliana and the others on the road outside.

As you approach, she will be giving orders:

Baroness Eliana Cossa: "Umbolwe, tend their wounds! Giovanni, keep an eye on that horizon. Gods help me if we're taken by surprise here."

Talk to Baroness Eliana to complete the quest:

"You've returned! I'm already getting reports of the tide of beasts waning and we're tending to the townsfolk you helped. Thank you.
Now tell me, what of the Recollection? Were you able to stop their rituals?"

Yes, I dealt with the rituals.

"That's a relief. You've taken a great weight off my shoulders, traveler. Leftwheal may just see another sunrise thanks to your efforts."

Will you try to retake the town?

"For now I'll focus on tending to the injured. But, with the rituals dealt with and reinforcements on the way, we'll soon gain the upper hand.
It will be a while before we're trading again, but that can wait. I have my people to focus on."

Then will you rebuild?

"Certainly. I made a promise to these people. Leftwheal provides opportunities for all those within its walls. I won't let a band of cultists get in the way of progress. I hope you can see all that we have to offer one day."

Maybe one day.

Leaving and returning to the conversation at this point:

"I'll continue to do all I can for Leftwheal. The fact that I have a second chance is thanks to you. Your aid went a long way to ensure we have a future to look forward to. Once we've dealt with all the remaining cultists of course."

In time you'll be able to rebuild.

"If you hadn't arrived when you did, the skies would be much darker. Leftwheal, and myself, owe you a great debt, traveler. A debt that this reward only begins to pay."

After completing the quest, you can talk to her some more:

"Leftwheal is a long way from returning to its former trading glory, but we'll get there. We may look defeated, but I know these people. This is our home. Once our wounds have healed, we'll strike back with a vengeance."

What's next for Leftwheal Trading Post?

"The injured will be moved somewhere safer once reinforcements arrive. Then we'll retake the hold. Once we're certain Leftwheal is safe, we'll work on repairs. You'd be surprised how many survivors are ready to start reconstruction."

How about you? Are you ready?

"I'll admit that I was quite shaken by these events. I spent more time questioning my policies and mandates than actually putting in the work. You showed me that actions are more inspiring than words. A lesson I won't soon forget."

In Memory Of

If you helped out in Leftwheal, Baroness Eliana Cossa will attend the party in Skingrad:

"I find it just sweltering, being in the city, don't you? But, I suppose I can weather a little discomfort if it means getting the chance to express my gratitude properly.
And it seems there are many others who feel the same!"

How are things going in Leftwheal?

"The trading post will be operational again in due course. That's one of the reasons I decided to attend this gala. Oh, to honor you, of course. But also to get in a word with the count. We're still waiting for legionaries to safeguard Leftwheal."
