As players embark on their journey in Avowed, they arrive at Fior mes Iverno, nestled in the Emerald Stair. Here, they will encounter a crucial ally among the Animancers named Giatta, who joins the player’s party and aids in their quest to uncover the path to The Garden.
During their exploration of the Emerald Stair and its secret ruins, the Envoy faces the grim aftermath of the Steel Garrote’s devastation in Fior mes Iverno. Players will be put to the test as they must make pivotal decisions to safeguard the remaining survivors.
This article contains spoilers regarding key events in Thirdborn, Shatterscarp.
Choosing Between Thirdborn and Paradis in Avowed
The flames engulfing Fior mes Iverno have claimed countless lives due to the chaos wrought by the Steel Garrote. In this critical moment, Giatta rushes to nearby farms in search of survivors after witnessing the destruction of her cherished home.
As you approach the conclusion of the Ancient Soil quest, a discussion unfolds between the governor and Quilicci regarding the fate of the survivors. They deliberate on their options, recognizing that returning home is no longer feasible due to the looming threats of the Dreamscourge and the Steel Garrote.
The Case for Thirdborn in Avowed
Thirdborn, located in Shatterscarp, marks the third stop on your quest to combat the Dreamscourge. Choosing this destination means that Quilicci and the survivors of Fior mes Iverno will aim to establish a new life here. Initially, prospects for the inhabitants seem bright.
However, this sense of hope may be short-lived. If players opt to allow Ryngrim to sever the adra, draining the essence from random individuals, the survivors from Fior mes Iverno will experience further misfortune, as some will succumb to tragic fates. Players can glean insight into this plight by engaging with Quilicci in the Residential District, where he voices concerns about an ominous pattern of misfortune striking his people.
The Argument for Paradis in Avowed
Paradis, situated in Dawnshore, represents the first region you traverse in Avowed. While sending survivors to this location may seem counterintuitive—given its proximity to the Aedyran, the homeland of the Steel Garrote—it offers a strategic advantage.
Opting for Paradis may protect them from the tragic, random deaths that could occur in Thirdborn, especially if players make the decision to sever the adra. This choice allows for a more hopeful future, as evidenced by interactions with the governor near the city gates, who expresses gratitude and rewards players with 500 Currency for their protective actions.
