During the Simulacrum, the whole Saros Archipelago -- a group of islands in the Inner Sea northwest of Bal Foyen -- was invaded by a powerful lich and his undead army. I was involved in a large assault to take back the islands, but it ended in disaster. There was a complete failure of leadership from some of the commanding officers involved. I have nightmares sometimes about the men we lost there. I'm glad that the evil has finally been cleansed from Fort Firemoth.

I remember reading about the assault in the Canyon Echo. Vibius must have seen some terrible things there.

It was an important Imperial Legion fort on the Saros Archipelago in the Inner Sea northwest of Bal Foyen. The fort was lost to the undead armies of a powerful lich during the chaos of the Simulacrum. Vibius Verturius led a disastrous attempt to retake the archipelago. At the time he was cleared of all blame, but now the case has been reopened.

The lich's black magic has taken deep roots here. It shall be no match for Arkay's light, though.

I've heard that Fort Firemoth is back under our control again. Good work, %PCRank.

I wonder whether the depths of the mines hold any more arcane secrets. Now that you've cleaned the place up, it might be safer to delve back in again.

So you've made the fort your own? Congratulations, commandant!

%Name is very happy that all of the skeletons are gone, commandant.

I've heard that the Legion has put the place back together. Even so, it's not a place I ever want to return to.

Grurn has been defeated and the Inner Sea is safe from the undead horde.

Grurn is dead. Let's get out of here.

We've completed our task.

You have already been there?

Let us purge it of the undead blight.

We will succeed where the Legion failed.

%Name wants to get as far away from Fort Firemoth as possible.

We're here. Let's find that lich.

I have fought skeletons before, of course. A fort full of them is new, though. We should approach with caution.

This is the Saros Archipelago. Fort Firemoth lies on the western island.

Safe once more, now that you've defeated Grurn.

As such, I will only travel to the eastern shore -- out of sight from the harbor -- from there you will have to walk the rest of the way. Or sneak. You might live longer than some of our scouts if you do.

Our scouts report that Fort Firemoth and Sulfurwatch Keep are crawling with skeletons. The Saros Ebony Mine is also controlled by the horde. We don't know where the lich controlling the undead, Grurn, is hiding. Nor do we know if he has connections to any remaining followers of Jagar Tharn. But we learned that powerful lieutenants guard key positions on the island. One of them is known to have sunk a Navy vessel by calling a storm. Even reckless smugglers would keep their distance from the harbor.

At your command, %PCRank.

I lead the garrison here, such as it is. Did you need someone in particular?

Now that the Saros Archipelago is once more firmly under Imperial control, we can rebuild Fort Firemoth.

Thank you for securing the Saros Archipelago, %PCName.

We can talk about that after you make amends.

Sellus Gravius sent word of your victory. Well done, %PCRank.

Sellus Gravius sent word of your victory. Well done, %PCRank. Should you find the Ward of Akavir, I expect you to wear it with pride.

Sellus Gravius sent word of your victory. I see you have also recovered the Ward of Akavir. Wear it with pride as you uphold the Empire's honor, %PCRank.

I congratulate you on your victory against Grurn, %PCRank. Should you find the Ward of Akavir, I expect you to wear it with pride.

I congratulate you on your victory against Grurn, %PCRank. I see you have also recovered the Ward of Akavir. Wear it with pride as you uphold the Empire's honor.

Report to Sellus Gravius at the Census and Excise Office in Seyda Neen and retake the Saros Archipelago for the Empire.

Your heroic efforts have secured the Saros Archipelago for the Empire. Congratulations, %PCRank.

Many years ago the lich Grurn overran the Saros Archipelago. The time has come to reclaim Fort Firemoth and Sulfurwatch Keep in the name of the Emperor. Sellus Gravius in Seyda Neen has been gathering capable adventurers. You will lead these adventurers to victory in a surgical strike, %PCRank. Head to Seyda Neen and report to Sellus Gravius at the Census and Excise Office.

Now that the Saros Archipelago is once more firmly under Imperial control, we can rebuild Fort Firemoth.

I have ordered Sellus Gravius in Seyda Neen to assemble a party of adventurers to reclaim the Saros Archipelago.

You have done the Empire a great service.

You have done the Empire a great service.

Excellent work, %PCRank. Go report your success to the Lord General.

Excellent work, %PCName. Grurn is no more. You've freed the Saros Archipelago of the undead scourge that has haunted it for a generation. Please accept this reward. Now tell me, did you find the Ward of Akavir?

You've defeated Grurn? Impressive. You've freed the Saros Archipelago of the undead scourge that has haunted it for a generation. You deserve this reward. Did you find the Ward of Akavir as well?

May the Divines go with you, and with our blessings.

Excellent. Head down to the dock and speak to Silm-Dar. He can tell you what our scouts have learned before taking you there. While you're on the island, keep a look out for the Ward of Akavir. Our records indicate it was at Firemoth when the fort was overrun.

Not the answer I was hoping for. I hope you reconsider.

You seem like a capable %PCClass. Head down to the dock and speak to Silm-Dar. He can tell you what our scouts have learned before taking you there. While you're on the island, keep a look out for the Ward of Akavir. Our records indicate it was at Firemoth when the fort was overrun.

Very well. Head down to the dock and speak to Silm-Dar. He can tell you what our scouts have learned before taking you there. While you're on the island, keep a look out for the Ward of Akavir. Our records indicate it was at Firemoth when the fort was overrun.

While your enthusiasm is commendable, I will not send you to your death and doom the others doing so. Perhaps when you're less wet behind the ears.

I am still searching for someone to lead the party. If you meet someone capable, send them my way.

The Lord General wants you to lead the expedition? Excellent, the others await your orders. Head down to the dock and speak to Silm-Dar.

Lord General Caecalia Victrix in Old Ebonheart has ordered me to gather adventurers to reclaim Fort Firemoth.

The Order has tasked me with reclaiming Fort Firemoth and Sulfurwatch Keep which were overrun by the undead in the wake of the Simulacrum. I have been gathering capable adventurers to defeat the lich Grurn and restore Imperial control. Have you come to join them?

The Saros Archipelago occupies a strategic position that allows for control of the Inner Sea. The Imperial Legion garrison at Fort Firemoth and the Imperial Navy base at Sulfurwatch Keep were lost when an undead horde marched out of the sea to capture the archipelago in the wake of the Simulacrum.

Fort Firemoth is an Imperial fort located on the Saros Archipelago to the west of Seyda Neen and Teyn. Both the fort and the neighboring Imperial Navy base Sulfurwatch were captured in the wake of the Simulacrum when an undead horde marched out of the Inner Sea.

Sellus Gravius over at the Census and Excise Office is putting together a strike force to reclaim the island.

The undead rule it now. It was overrun many years ago. Once a strategic strongpoint guarding the Inner Sea, now it is an all-but-forgotten ruin.

Do not speak of it. Do not go there. Only the legions of the dead guard the walls now.

Fort Firemoth lies on the Saros Archipelago, near Sulfurwatch Keep.
