Anca needs a moment to organise her notes. I should come back to her in a while to ask what she found.
- Return to AncaDay & Night
Anca should be done by now. I need to talk to her to see what she discovered.
- Solve Enolf's riddle1 time unitDay & Night
The key to finding the Font of Life is a cryptic account by one Enolf, a wandering mystic. I need to help Anca figure out what he meant.
- Find out what Enolf meant by 'Lord's symbol close to old devils, no soul to comfort me'Day & Night
- Find out what Enolf meant by 'tormented visage etched onto clouds'Day & Night
- Return to Anca before noonDay & Night
Anca isn't comfortable setting out in search of the Font right now. I need to get back to her another day, before noon. That'll give us enough time to explore.

I need to check on Anca and discuss our progress.

Alright, the Font lies up one of the streams – but which? There are three to follow and check on. It's going to be trial and error, I guess.

We stumbled upon some ruins. Maybe they're connected to the Font?

Is this it? Have we reached the Font? I should talk to Anca and see what she thinks.

Time to look around, figure out what went on in this place.
- Find a way insideDay & Night
The original entrance to the complex is collapsed – but maybe there's another way in?

I found a passage leading inside the ruined complex. It's going to be tight... But I think we can squeeze through.

This is definitely the right place – the Font is somewhere within this complex. Time to go look for it.
Search area on the map - Investigate the chamber using Focus ModeDay & Night
