Quick notes

  • Use Xardas as the opening anchor. Xardas revives the hero and directs him toward Khorinis.
  • Follow the right authority. Lord Hagen, Lee and Pyrokar represent different institutions, while Vatras supplies guidance across several plot threads.
  • Track expansion-only destinations. Jharkendar is the Night of the Raven region shown in the fourth gallery picture.
  • Read current dialogue after story changes. Characters move or gain new tasks as the chapters advance.

Characters move or gain new tasks as the chapters advance. Check the journal and current dialogue when an old instruction appears incomplete, especially during the Eye of Innos restoration.
