Walk Through

1. Speak to Shuthoth in Ayan Baqur for the Watcher Token.
2. Travel to Aerlinthe and follow the beach east then north to 87.3N 51.2E and give the Watcher Token to the Devastated Watcher statue on the beach. If you have previously given a token, simply use the statue.
3. The statue portals you inside the Devastated Falatacot Temple. At the end of the dungeon is a portal to the Gatekeepers.
4. It is very IMPORTANT that you speak to Shemza before doing anything else. This flags you to be able to use a shortcut portal outside Ayan Baqur at ??.
5. Give a Yellow Jewel to Shemza, you will be portaled into ??. You will need to use a candle stick shown on the map to open a door half way down. There is a free BMK chest by the jump. At the end kill the the Radiant Crystal (melees work well with Imperil) and pick up one of the Radiant Shards. Use the exit portal to return to the Gatekeepers.
6. Give the Radiant Shard to Lurza, then give Lurza a Sezzherei's Lair Portal Gem. There is another BMK on the way down. When you come to the end of the acid floor, shift jump up onto the grate then kill the Dazzling Crystal and pick up a Dazzling Shard. Use the exit portal.
7. Give the Dazzling Shard to Dmesne, then give Dmesne a Pyreal Bar.

Note: There is a secondary watcher, the Corrupted Watcher on the west beach of Aerlinthe. It will send you to the Corrupted Falatacot Temple, a mirror image of the Devastated Falatacot Temple though not the same place. Both have a portal to the Gatekeepers at the end. It is unknown if there is any substantive difference, but whichever statue you use will flag you to only use that statue (you will never be able to enter the other. For this reason most people use the eastern beach because it is a faster run and they can accompany new people to help them do the quest again later.

Note: The three Black Marrow Reliquary chests can be looted once a week. The shortcut portal at ?? outside Ayan Baqur will take you right back to the Gatekeepers, also the surface portal inside each dungeon is tiable/recallable though not summonable.

Lore & Dialog

Shuthoth tells you, "Welcome, friend. I seek warriors in search of great adventure. I represent one who would grant the Isparians of this world much power, much knowledge."
Shuthoth tells you, "She has found something. Something powerful beneath the waves of this world. A city, ancient and doomed. The blue-skinned King did his part to raise it from the deep, but I daresay he could not have done it alone."
Shuthoth tells you, "Now that the island exists, the lady would ask Dereth's hunters and adventurers to explore its mysteries."
Shuthoth tells you, "If you seek such a challenge, I bid you take this gem and place it within the empty eye of one of Aerlinthe's Watchers. The Watchers will tell you what else you must do."
Shuthoth tells you, "You have the spark of adventure within you. Good luck, my friend."
Shuthoth gives you Watcher Token.

You give Devastated Watcher Watcher Token.
The gem clicks into place within the Watcher's empty eye socket. The statue hums to life and looks down upon you. You hear a whisper in your mind, "Appease the Gatekeepers," then all grows quiet.

Shemza tells you, "A warrior! A warrior comes! Brothers, feast your eyes on one who would give their lives willingly to the great lord!"
Shemza tells you, "You seek to bask in the glory of Grael, do you not? You seek to join us in the worship of he who is more powerful, more glorious, than all who have come before? My brothers and I, we were the first to join his side. We were there when he led us to victory over the old ones. We helped him slay the mages and lay waste to their cities. We were there when he led an army upon the heretics of the light."
Shemza tells you, "When defeat fell upon us, we knew that our ascendance was only delayed. One day, we knew that our god would rise from the depths and claim that which is his. And we knew that ones such as you would seek to free him from his chains."
Shemza tells you, "And now you are here. You seek to barter with us who have given our souls in exchange for life eternal. Those of us who have lengthened our lives for the sole purpose of delivering warriors unto him."
Shemza tells you, "Yes. You are here now. And now you will aid me. And then you will aid my brothers."
Shemza tells you, "I seek a boon. One small boon. The masters of the portal carry a token of golden hue. A token that I would claim as mine own. Find it and deliver it to me. Then the first part of your quest shall begin."
Shemza tells you, "I have altered your body. You may now use our portal near Ayan Baqur."

You give Shemza Yellow Jewel.
Shemza tells you, "Seek out the Radiant Crystal. Bring a shard to my brother Lurza. Then he will treat with you."

You give Lurza Radiant Shard. Lurza tells you, "Long have we waited, trapped within these crystalline forms, waiting for those who would join him in his quest. And now you come. You come seeking our approval. But are you worthy?" Lurza tells you, "There is something I seek. The key to one who once followed our cause. A traitor who makes his home among the winged demons of the dark. Bring the key to this fallen lord, and I will grant you passage." Lurza tells you, "Long have we waited, trapped within these crystalline forms, waiting for those who would join him in his quest. And now you come. You come seeking our approval. But are you worthy?" Lurza tells you, "There is something I seek. The key to one who once followed our cause. A traitor who makes his home among the winged demons of the dark. Bring the key to this fallen lord, and I will grant you passage." You give Lurza Sezzherei's Lair. Lurza tells you, "The demon Sezzherei once called himself our brother. But when he betrayed our lord to the ancient mages, he fell from Grael's favor. Our brother Tursh slew Sezzherei on the battlefield, or so we all believed. Now he claims the dark as his master, and seeks to appease its twisted whims." Lurza tells you, "Sezzherei will once again know the taste of his own blood. When Grael rises and marches across this land, Sezzherei will kneel once again." Lurza tells you, "Now find the Dazzling shard, and give it to my brother Dmesne."
