Cinder's Ascent is an Ancient teleport platform in the heart of Cinder's Cradle. It stands in the lower wasteland, right beneath the floating Sky Islands. The main story leads here early on. Once powered, it carries the player up to the islands.
Exploration
The platform is dark on arrival. The lost soul of Loraine Crim waits nearby, and her remains lie in the building to the right after the stairs. Summoned at a base, she becomes the Ancient Researcher. She explains that the platform needs the beacons around it lit. Each beacon sits inside a beacon dungeon, one for every biome of Embervale. With all of them lit, the platform teleports to the Sky Islands. Loraine's last field note and a note by Elder Claravinta lie on the platform.

Lore
The Shroud flows to this platform all the way from the Veilwater Basin. Loraine reached it alone after slipping through the broken Ancient barrier. She noticed pillars of light in the distance, lined up with markers around the platform. She guessed they were beacons that had to be lit. Her food ran out while she waited, but she stayed on the platform. Elder Claravinta's note tells of the council deciding to lift the land into the sky. The youngest elder, Ezramin, was about to leave the council.

Notes
The quest Land Of The Sky Islands calls this place the heart of cinders. In that quest, the Flame senses a great evil approaching and sends the player through the Ancient Gate. The heart of cinders turns out to be this platform, empty and dark on arrival. The echo of a lost soul nearby leads to Loraine Crim, the Ancient Researcher. The Shroud also flows here all the way from the Veilwater Basin.
