 * "I sense that you have come to me seeking Forgotten wisdom. Know then that we Forgotten were the first race to rule Tyria.  During our reign, the world was at peace until your people came, until the humans came.  We could not compete with the savage humans and were slowly driven into this desert where we met our future master, the great crystal dragon Glint.  It is she who you must seek if you wish to Ascend.  I sense a deep goodness within you and it would please me if you were to succeed in your quest.  Allow me to unlock some of your inner potential."

Walkthrough
This quest is not available to Canthan or Elonian characters, to prevent such characters from gaining an excess of Attribute Points.

Tip: To save time, get this quest after doing the "The Forgotten Ones" quest which leads you to Sariss.

You can reach the Arid Sea from a few points shown in the map. You can start from Destiny's Gorge, Augury Rock or Dunes of Despair. Once in the Arid Sea, do not go for the star on your map. Siliss Yassith hides on top of a rocky mound with apparently no direct way up. When you approach the area from a distance you can see a giant statue to the east of the hill. When you get closer you see that the giant statue collapsed before your arrival. The statue appears to be a female warrior. The torso of the statue ruin now forms a bridge to the top of the hill. Cross this bridge to climb the hill. (Follow the dotted path on the map) Beware there is at least one Sand Wurm in the area. If you go along the arm of the statue no Sand Wurms appear.

Do not stay still too long on the way to the first ghost in the area. If you do, a Sand Wurm may appear.
