Tanlorin received an invitation to meet with the Gardener, the leader of the Garland Ring. Tan hopes there's been progress in the search for answers after the Ceythalmor attack on them and their friends.
Quick Walkthrough[edit]
Detailed Walkthrough[edit]
Notes[edit]
- During the Sunhold portion of this quest, it is imperative that Tanlorin remain your active companion for the entire time. Dismissing them, summoning another companion, summoning a banker or merchant assistant or even swimming for too long will cause you to be instantly teleported out of Sunhold and back to the beach in Auridon.

Tanlorin indicated that the Gardener likes riddles, so likely there's something to figure out in this invitation he sent along. I should read it to see what it says.
Objective: Examine the Gardener's Message
|
|
The message from the Gardener included some sort of riddle. I should talk to Tanlorin and see what they think it means.
Objective: Talk to Tanlorin

The riddle pointed to Belarata in Malabal Tor, south of Vulkwasten. We should travel there and find a ring of some sort growing on a nearby islet.

We found another message in the middle of a ring of mushroom. I should examine it and see what it reveals.

|
|
The clue contains a sketch that appears to be a map of sorts. I should talk to Tanlorin and see if they recognize the location depicted.
Objective: Talk to Tanlorin
|
|
Tanlorin thinks the sketch is directing us to a structure of woven branches somewhere near Deepwoods. I should search the area for a landmark that matches the sketch.
Objective: Find an Arch of Woven Branches at Deepwoods
|
|
We found an illusory bird near the landmark of woven branches depicted in the sketch. I should interact with it and discover our next clue.
Objective: Activate the Illusory Bird
|
|
The illusory bird recited another riddle when I touched it. I should talk with Tanlorin and see what they make of the clue.
Objective: Talk To Tanlorin
|
|
The illusory bird's clue seems to be directing us to the Ritual Mundus Stone in southern Malabal Tor. Once we find it, we'll need to gather some royal lavender to reveal a hidden door.
Objective: Go to the Ritual Mundus Stone in Malabal Tor
|
|
The illusory bird's clue seems to be directing us to the Ritual Mundus Stone in southern Malabal Tor. Once we find it, we'll need to gather some royal lavender to reveal a hidden door.
Objective: Gather Royal Lavender: 0/3

We entered the greenhouse. Tanlorin wants me to find and talk to the Gardener while they look around.

The Gardener asked us to find a former member of the Garland Ring. Lirinisse, code named Snapdragon. I should head for the Mages Guild in Skywatch, which is the last place the Gardener knew her to be.
Objective: Find Snapdragon in Skywatch
|
|
We overheard a few adepts from the Mages Guild discussing the recent arrest of Lirinisse, also known as Snapdragon. We should ask them for more information.
Objective: Talk to the Mages Guild Adepts

|
The adepts told us that Snapdragon was arrested by a local reeve named Nardarmor. They don't know where she was taken, but we may be able to find more information in the reeve's office inside Skywatch Manor.

Now that we know where Snapdragon is, Tanlorin wants to reach out to Hyacinth. They think Hyacinth will know a way to safely get us to Sunhold.
Objective: Wait for Tanlorin
|
|
Tanlorin contacted Hyacinth using one of those magicka lattices. They want me to talk with Hyacinth and tell him about Snapdragon's arrest and our plan to go to Sunhold.
Objective: Talk to Hyacinth
|
|
Hyacinth has a plan for getting us to Sunhold unnoticed. We should meet him at a beach south of South Beacon and find out what he has in mind.

Objective: Take the Soul Magic Enhanced Boat to Sunhold

We safely made it to Sunhold. The Skywatch reeve's journal mentioned a prison cell on the west side of the city. We should search the area for an entrance that leads to this Ceythalmor location.
Objective: Find the Ceythalmor Prison in Sunhold
|
|
We entered the Ceythalmor prison in Sunhold. We should look for any information about their operation here and where they're holding Snapdragon.

We found notes that detail the interrogation of Snapdragon. They mention that she has been taken to a cell in the lower dungeon.

A Ceythalmor prison warden guards the way to Snapdragon's cell. We need to deal with her if we're going to rescue Snapdragon.. [sic]

Tanlorin opened the way to the Gardener's greenhouse using the portal curio Hyacinth provided. We should go through it before more Ceythalmor guards arrive.

With Snapdragon safe in the Gardener's greenhouse, she wishes to speak to me. I should talk to her.

- Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
- Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
