Prerequisites
This quest opens after Flame Altar And Base Improvements (1). In that quest, the Flame asks for Sparks, which are found in Flame Sanctums and Flame Shrines. Bringing a Spark to the Flame Altar strengthens the Flame. A stronger Flame raises the Shroud passage level and allows more bases across Embervale. The Flame then tells of Ancient Obelisks that reveal the past. This quest leads to the obelisk that speaks of what festers below, the Shroud.
