Nature is a beautiful thing, but how it’s being tended to is always put into question, especially inAvowed. In this world, animancers believe they are doing the right thing, while others think they are only hurting it.
That is the conundrum you will be facing in theNature vs. Nurture quest, as the farmers of the land are not only struggling with their crops, but they’re also facing off against the tribes of the forest, as well.
Avowed: A Relic From the Ashes Quest Guide
It’s a hard life to live in Avowed, especially in the Living Lands where everything is trying to kill you.
Accepting the Quest
After arriving in Emerald Stairs, you will need to go west until you hit Fior mes Iverno, but along the way you will encounter a number of farmland. Unfortunately, most of them are plagued with blight and other factors, with one that’s being run by the undead.
The first one you will likely run into will be greeted by a couple arguing at their doorstep. Upon approaching them, they will explain that Xaurips are wreaking havoc on their land and not even the rangers are able to stop them.
Dolina and Masco claim to have some of the best farming equipment out in the Emerald Stairs but the Xaurips continue to arrive at night and destroy it. As you might expect, the couple wants you to track down the Xaurips and put a stop to their mischief.
Tracking the Xaurips Down
The couple claim that the Xaurips made a camp for themselves in the swamp northwest of their position. As you might expect, that’s exactly where you’ll need to investigate. After talking to them, head into the swap and go up stream until you reach a small encampment.
Surprisingly, when approaching the camp, the Xaurips won’t attack, and will actually walk away from you. You won’t be able to attack or interact with them, but they do lead you into their cave where their master resides.
Here you will meet with the ringmaster: a human. A voice echoes from the cave: Amadio beckons you closer, and it’s revealed that this hermit somehow is able to communicate and instruct the Xaurips of the area.
When you talk to him, he will explain he provided the Xaurips with peace and serenity, and in return them help him with his “controversial goals.” As a hermit, he’s very much in touch with nature, and believes that the animancers are poisoning the land with their machines. Because of this, they are sabotaging their machines as much as possible.
Upon learning this, you will have a choice: to attack the hermit and enrage the entire cave by your aggression, or support Amadio in his conquest to protect the land from animancers. If you do this quest as soon as you get into Emerald Stairs, the hermit and his cronies will likely be far too powerful for you, but it’s up to you if you want to face them down.
If you support them, you will need to return to Dolina and Masco and inform them of your decision, which they are not too pleased about. If you slay them, they will obviously be pleased that their land and machinery are now safe.
The quest will end here if you sided with the farmers, but if you sided with the hermit, you will need to return to him to retrieve a little reward. He won’t be in the cave this time, but in the middle of his camp, which almost looks like he’s about to fight, but thankfully that isn’t the case.
