Background

Odo believes that Hugh Montbarron’s signet ring may be the key to opening the Legion Causeways. It lies somewhere in the dreaded Mournweald — the twisted forest where the last of the Legion fell.

Walkthrough

Enter the Mournweald

You’ll receive this quest from Odo in the Legion Chapterhouse after completing the quest The Search for Survivors. When Odo gives you the quest, he’ll also give you a key. The key will allow you to open the door on the lower level of the chapterhouse, which will give you access to the East Forest. You’ll find the entrance to the Mournweald on the eastern side of the East Forest (#1). When you approach the entrance, branches and brambles will move out of the way, allowing you to pass.

Find the Slain Legionnaires

To find the bodies of the legionnaires, you’ll just need to follow the path. You’ll only have one way to go.

Retrieve the Montbarron Signet Ring

You’ll discover Hugh Montbarron’s corpse at the end of the path (#2). When you interact with it, you’ll gain his signet ring. You’ll also find some other corpses ($) nearby, including one with an Ancient Legionnaire’s Shield.

Return to Odo

When you exit the small area with the legionnaire corpses, you’ll be stopped by a Radiant Youth. He’ll give you the power to open the Causeways, but he’ll make you promise never to enter the Mournweald again. At the end of the conversation, the youth will teleport you back to the entrance to the Mournweald (#1), but the branches and the brambles will be back, just like when you first arrived, and so you won’t be able to re-enter. Your companion won’t remember anything about what happened in the Mournweald.

When you return to Odo in the Legion Chapterhouse, you’ll receive 736 xp for completing the quest, and Odo will give you your next quest, The Battle for Raven’s Rill.
