High Seeker Janiam judged the archdevan control pendant to be critical strategic information, and suggested to meet the High Elder of Highwatch, Verikam. Meet High Seeker Janiam.<NEXTPAGEBUTTON>"Sure."</NEXTPAGEBUTTON> You should not be here, outlander. Highwatch is closed until this siege is lifted.<NEXTPAGEBUTTON>"Renish sent me to speak to you."</NEXTPAGEBUTTON> It certainly is not like Seeker Renish to burden me with trivial matters. But unless he has completed his investigation in Spring Valley, I cannot imagine why he would feel compelled to ask that I open the gates of Highwatch during a siege.<NEXTPAGEBUTTON>"Will this archdevan pendant explain things?"</NEXTPAGEBUTTON> "Archdevan...?" By Oriyn! This might be the key to breaking the siege!<BR><BR>This pendant explains matters quite eloquently indeed, friend! Very well, you shall have passage to Highwatch!<BR><BR>Continue up the northern road to the city's postern gate. When you arrive, seek out Verikam. He is our High Elder.<NEXTPAGEBUTTON>"I will. Thank you."</NEXTPAGEBUTTON> You will of course encounter other guards en route to the city. Master Sentry Madok guards the postern gate. Show him this pass. He will grant you entry.<NEXTPAGEBUTTON>"Okay."</NEXTPAGEBUTTON> You possess High Seeker Janiam's sigil? You must bear valuable information indeed.<BR><BR>Welcome to Highwatch, Birthplace of Knowledge.<NEXTPAGEBUTTON>"I was told to seek the High Elder."</NEXTPAGEBUTTON> You can find High Elder Verikam center of Highwatch.<BR><BR>The route is long and complicated, so talk to Daraon first. You will find him further up the trail, making repairs to the gate.<NEXTPAGEBUTTON>"Thanks."</NEXTPAGEBUTTON> You are no native of these lands. How did you come to be here?<NEXTPAGEBUTTON>"High Seeker Janiam sent me."</NEXTPAGEBUTTON> I see...<BR><BR>I am afraid I must ask why High Seeker Janiam sent you to Highwatch in the midst of a siege...?<NEXTPAGEBUTTON>"I have information for High Elder Verikam."</NEXTPAGEBUTTON> How curious.<BR><BR>Very well. The path to the High Elder is complex, so you will need to seek guidance at every turn.<BR><BR>Begin by continuing along this road into the city, then seek Marmundam, Highwatch's Master Guard. He will show you to the House of the HIgh Elder.<NEXTPAGEBUTTON>"Got it."</NEXTPAGEBUTTON> A stranger is a rare sight indeed these days—let alone an outlander!<BR><BR>Allow me to bid you welcome to Highwatch. What compelled you to brave the siege to visit our city?<NEXTPAGEBUTTON>"I need to speak to High Elder Verikam."</NEXTPAGEBUTTON> The High Elder is occupied with seeking a way to break this siege. I cannot allow you to disturb him unless it is vitally important.<NEXTPAGEBUTTON>"This pendant may be the answer he's seeking."</NEXTPAGEBUTTON> This...I...you...<BR><BR>I believe you are correct, <PCNAME>. Please proceed, and tell the High Elder that I urge him to speak with you immediately.<NEXTPAGEBUTTON>"I will. Thanks."</NEXTPAGEBUTTON> Greetings, stranger. I can only imagine the trials and hardships you must have faced to have arrived here, in a city under siege, just to speak to me. And I have many questions about who you are, and where you came from.<BR><BR>But the first question must be: Why have you sought me out?<NEXTPAGEBUTTON>"I may have found a way to defeat the archdevans."</NEXTPAGEBUTTON> That would be very fortuitous, and I can see why that would be a valid reason for us to speak as soon as possible.<BR><BR>By all means, tell me what you have found.<NEXTPAGEBUTTON>"These pendants control the demokrons."</NEXTPAGEBUTTON> Hmm...I see, and upon initial inspection, I concur. I must examine the device further, of course, but if your assertion proves correct, it could not only lift this siege, but put an end to this war altogether.<BR><BR>I thank you on behalf of all of Highwatch for bringing this to me.<NEXTPAGEBUTTON>"I'm happy to help."</NEXTPAGEBUTTON> You are a true friend of our people—and by the powers granted me, I now pronounce you an honorary citizen of Highwatch.<BR><BR>You may pass freely through our gates from this point onward.<BR><BR>Further, I wish you to have this: one of Oriyn's Relics. As you may have discovered, the one who pieces these together wields great power.<NEXTPAGEBUTTON>"Thank you."</NEXTPAGEBUTTON>
