Ember of Lies Map Location
Region Kaifeng
Unlock Req. Ask the Wayfarer at Roaring Sands

Ember of Lies Walkthrough

Step Objectives
1
Objective 1
Speak with Hu Buyan near the entrance of the Jianlong Temple. He is looking for an item for a bounty in the Ghostlight Market. You can choose any answer to his question; what the bounty is looking for is the Dragonhead incense ash.
2
Objective 2
You can find the Dragonhead incense burner, north of the temple, overlooking the mountainside. Investigate the burner; you will find it empty. Someone has stolen the ashes.
3
Objective 3
Use Wind Sense to find the traces of the thief. Follow the tracks, and it will lead you to a cabin east of the temple. Pick up the letter on top of the wardrobe. The letter will reveal a scheme to raise the incense price.
4
Objective 4
Choose from the following options: if you select “The believers worked hard to get this. Better return it to them,” you will pocket the ashes without doing anything, but if you choose ”This is a scam, Better reveal the truth,” you will hide the letter in the ash pouch. This will not affect the ending of the quest but will give you a different last clue.
5
Objective 5
With the ashes, return to Hu Buyan and give them to him to end the tale. If you hid the note in the ashes, you will receive the End Clue: “Perhaps it’s only a matter of time before this scheme unravels.” If you choose not to reveal the scam, you will get the end clue “Yet, for the faithful, perhaps its value lies beyond mere truth.”
