Preliminary Dialogue "Did you feel the earth shake, [Name]? I was working my fields when the ground began to quake furiously, sort of like my wife does when I leave my dirty socks on the dining room table.... Suddenly, the dirt around me swelled up and collapsed, leaving a giant crevasse in its place. I thought I heard voices, so I looked inside for survivors. I couldn't make out any faces but swear I saw shapes moving in the dust-filled darkness. I ran as fast as I could. Please, you must go back and investigate this catastrophe!"


 * Accept: "I will investigate this crevasse, farmer."
 * Reject: "I could say something obnoxious here, but instead I'll just say no."

Walkthrough
This quest leads you into Guild Wars Eye of the North expansion from Lion's Arch. Other missions (in Kamadan and Kaining Center) lead you into Eye of the North expansion, but you only need one. To avoid confusion, I only do the Lion's arch mission, for all my level 20 characters. Head north out of Lion's Arch and move to the quest marker. Click the yellow marker labeled 'Explore the crevasse'. This transports you to Beneath Lion's Arch.

Upon arrival, make your way through the constructs. You encounter a few groups of foe, consisting of level 16 Hellhounds, the Hellhound Keeper and a number of level 12 and 13 Skeleton Monks and Skeleton Sorcerers. These are not tough to beat. Once you run out of enemies, go north to find Ogden Stonehealer and his dwarves (Point B on map). A cut scene plays, introducing your first Asura, and Vekk.

Following the cut scene, you have 3 minutes to escape the area. Ogden and Vekk are now in your party. Just follow Ogden (double click on his name in the party list) and you escape unscathed. He leads you to the exit portal. Level 28 Destroyers chase you, do not stop to fight them. After you enter the gate, another cut scene plays. You are in Eye of the North Boreal Station.

''Note: Even if Ogden and Vekk are killed by the Destroyers, you can still complete the mission.'

Asura Gate, now shows as a purple mark on your map (just above Lion's Arch). The next time your character wishes to get into Eye of the North, you enter this gate and instantly teleport to Boreal Station.

Follow-up

 * Upon completion of the quest players will find themselves in: Boreal Station.
 * To continue the storyline, complete quest Against the Destroyers.

Trivia
