Quest-Related Events[edit]

When you reach Close Rapport with Zerith-var, he will approach you after receiving a letter from High Cantor Viti asking to meet with him, and you near Pa'alat. Due to their past interactions, he is suspicious of the request. On the advice of Cantor Krin'ze, you go to the town and ask the locals about what they have seen recently, before going to the meeting spot.

After speaking with the locals and receiving the Summons of the Inquisition letter, you learn the Inquisitors seek High Cantor Viti in order to blame the Twilight Cantors for the spread of the Rajaska. You can then go to the meeting spot overlooking the city, but as you approach, Zerith-var will suggest you hide as he can sense another person other than High Cantor Viti is there.

You can find a basket to hide in and observe what happens, a newcomer will arrive on the scene:

High Cantor Viti: "Show yourself, Inquisitor. Appear and let's be done with this."
<Grand Inquisitor Arsalan appears in a plume of red spoke and High Cantor Viti turns around.>
Grand Inquisitor Arsalan: "Bold, high cantor. Few invoke the Inquisition so casually."
High Cantor Viti: "Grand Inquisitor Arsalan? To what do I owe the pleasure of this visit?"
Grand Inquisitor Arsalan: "Come now, Viti. You must have received the summons. Your protege, Krin'ze. She consorts with heretics. Tell me where to find her."
High Cantor Viti: "I do not keep track of every cantor's comings and goings. Beyond that, I have nothing else to say to the Inquisition!"
<Grand Inquisior Arslan steps close to High Cantor Viti.>
Grand Inquisitor Arsalan: "Very well. I do so enjoy hunting apostates. Your refusal to cooperate will not be forgotten, Viti."
<Grand Inquisitor Arsalan disappears in red smoke.>
High Cantor Viti: "He has departed, walker. You might as well come out now."

If you reveal your presence during the conversation, it will immediately stop and the following will happen:

High Cantor Viti: "Oh, gak."
Grand Inquisitor Arsalan: "The heretics? Here?"
Grand Inquisitor Arsalan: "Creatures of darkness seek to strike from the shadows? Two can play at that game. Wait and see."
<Grand Inquisitor Arsalan disappears.>
High Cantor Viti: "You could not wait until that muskarse had gone?"
Zerith-var: "You knew we were here? Well, you did invite us, high cantor. You wished to speak? Then let us do so."

You then speak with High Cantor Viti, who wants to bury the hatchet with Zerith-var and asks him to go to Orcrest to demonstrate his ability to cleanse souls, in return for information about the Rajaska's movements. Cantors Krin'ze and Viti will accompany you and Zerith-var to Orcrest where Cantor Viti will guide you to the remains of her sister Eifa. During the plague, Eifa was transforming into a dro-m'Athra, but Viti arrived too late to cleanse her and was forced to kill her before she transformed.

High Cantor Viti will ask Zerith-var to cleanse Eifa's soul so she move on. Zerith-var agrees to do so and asks for you help with the ritual. As you clear the corrupted soul energy, Zerith-var will prepare to bring Eifa forth, and at the final stage there is an interruption:

Zerith-var: "Her spirit flows toward the light. She is nearly in reach. Let me—argh!"
<Grand Inquisitor Arsalan reveals himself and strikes Zerith in the back.>
Grand Inquisitor Arsalan: "Heretical prayer, apostasy, and necromantic ritual. I have seen enough."
<Zerith-var gets up.>
Zerith-var: "Stand back, cantors! Tamiit, there is no reasoning with him. We must fight!"
<The Twilight Cantors run to the side of the room.>
