Walkthrough

“With that taken care of I should be fairly safe for now. I know why Veteran Sixfish is interested in this area. The swamp creatures have been acting very strange and aggressive lately.”

“The only thing that has changed recently is a nearby alter. It is quite powerful and if it has been tampered with it may be the cause of the recent changes."

Head Northwest into the Xao Marshlands toward the tall stone monument. Search for the Tablet of Hirak Sun on the north side of the stone monument.

The runes written on the tablet appear to be of an ancient language you do not understand. You notice in the center of the tablet, there is a chunk missing that appears to have been chiseled out.

Complete the sidequest Thief in the Night.

Veteran Sixfish says, "So the hobgoblins disturbed the great monument of Hirak Sun. They should never be allowed to tap into that kind of power. I will have to make sure we post a few soldiers to guard it from now on."

"Strange though, as the hobgoblins have always feared entering the swamp."
