Quest: Recover the Heart of Fire
On arrival in the City you were taken to a Rebel base in the cellars of a disused warehouse. There Akbar explained that he wants you to recover a gemstone, The Heart of Fire. The mythical gem is said to have been carried by the long dead Sun God Ashura whose remains now lie moldering in his crypt in the centre of the Plaza of Dead Gods. He introduced you to Azhanti, a Dragonborn priest and gladiator who will help you to recover the gem and who knows the layout of the Plaza.
The gemstone is needed urgently for use in a ritual to be performed at the summer solstice to banish powerful Hounds of Shadow used by the Cabal’s secret police. The solstice is only a few days away and so he has asked you to go to the Temple tonight to recover the stone. He will meet you back at the cellar at dawn.
Dangers:
The Plaza is home to many ghosts, worshippers of the gods interred there. Some are harmless but there are however a number of malignant spirits which should be avoided or appeased if possible.
The tombs are all thousands of years old. In their day powerful magical wards and traps were set and infernal forces were summoned to guard them. Most of these will have failed over time but some may still remain potent. The Spirit of Ashura will most likely have blown away to dust and memory in the four thousand years of his imprisonment.
You are warned not to remove any other objects that you might find in the tomb as this may well provoke the Spirit of Ashura if it still exists.
Rewards:
The trust of one member of the Rebellion High Command
Enough cash to live like rich men for a month
Quest Giver: Akbar the Rebel
Time to Complete: One night
Completion Location: The Rebel safe house
You have arrived in the City of Kings this morning on a boat belonging to the powerful Merchant Lord Nabonidus. You have been brought to the City by the Rebellion hoping to elicit your aid in the overthrow of the Cabal. Your contact in the Rebellion is a man named Akbar, a retired pirate captain who has seen too many abuses by the Cabal since he hung up his cutlass.

The Cabal has ordered that the Plaza is off limits to all denizens of the City. They warn that powerful demons have been set to guard the tombs and ensure they remain undisturbed.
The tombs are all thousands of years old. In their day powerful magical wards and traps were set and infernal forces were summoned to guard them. Most of these will have failed over time but some may still remain potent. The Spirit of Ashura will most likely have blown away to dust and memory in the four thousand years of his imprisonment.

Permanent lodgings in a Rebellion safe house if desired
