The Consortium Greetings, <Character name>! The Consortium has taken notice of your valiant effort to rebuild the Shadowstone! However, you are being led astray by misinformed Priory agents. The Priory is simply lacking the resources to fund its researchers and scholars. Please speak to our representative, Tradesman Maezz, before you hand over such a valuable artifact.

Received upon gathering four of the Bloodstone Slivers required to complete the Shadowstone, and then traveling to a different map.

Show Me directs you to Lion's Court.

Notes [ edit ]

It is possible to complete the objectives in a different order, resulting in the acquisition of the Reforged Shadowstone before the Broken Shadowstone.

If you choose to talk to Historian Tranton as the last step, you will retain the Reforged Shadowstone.

If the player chooses to side with the Priory and used the Reforged Shadowstone, entering a Stable Rift will have a slight chance to trigger a side effect where the player will separate from its body and turn into an anomaly that can be attacked by other players.
