Primary
Melonni has been having nightmares that her home village of Ronjok is under threat from Abaddon's forces. You return with Melonni to Ronjok to help her cleanse the demons from her dreams. The mission is first to defend the village against the Margonites and Harbingers of Twilight and then go on to defeat the Harbinger of Nightfall.

You start in the village, after some dialogue you will be told that the only way in which the Harbingers may take any damage is by ensuring they have purified holy water on them. Speaking with Elder Jonah to receive the vials of of holy water, a skill which you equip, is the trigger for additional Margonite forces to spawn and begin attacking the village. If you delay collecting the holy water you can use this time to clear some of the closer Margonite groups to ensure that you only have to fight the attacking groups after you accept the holy water.

There are several waves of Margonites, starting at groups of two, increasing to groups of six which approach the village attacking through alternating entrances. The last group of the first wave will be led by the Monk boss Priest Zein Zuu. When he has been defeated, a Harbinger of Twilight will spawn. From close range use the vial of holy water against it to ensure you're doing damage and dispatch it. After that, a group led by Paragon boss Commander Chutal, then a group led by Elementalist boss Scribe Wensai will attack. Another Harbinger of Twilight will spawn next, and finally a group led by Zealot Sheoli. Once he is defeated you are free to travel out of the village to the old Kournan fort.

Kill the groups of Margonites up to the Harbinger of Nightfall. The Harbinger is not attached to any group, so the groups around it can be pulled without fear of it attacking also. Destroy the Harbinger of Nightfall the same way you killed the Harbingers of Twilight. When the Harbringer of Nightfall is reduced to about half life, two groups of Margonites will converge from either sides of the structure. If you decide to break off the attack on the Harbringer to pull the Margonites, the Harbringer will not regenerate health, allowing you to resume where you left off once the Margonites are dispatched. Defeat the Harbringer to complete the mission.

Bonus
The bonus is to kill the two additional Harbingers of Twilight. You will need the vials of holy water to defeat these, so you must complete the siege on the village first before you can kill them. Both are inside the old fort (center of zone). These are located inside the old fort, south of the Harbinger of Nightfall. When you get close to the Harbinger of Nightfall (in the northern remnants of the fort) you will get the bonus message**. Before reaching and defeating the Harbinger of Nightfall go south (out of the ravine), there are several Margonite groups on the way, kill these to get to the first Harbinger. You can pull both the Margonites and the Harbingers outside the fort. If the second Harbinger of Twilight does not attack on his own, travel further into the fort. Finally, after you have killed both Harbingers of Twilight, head north to kill the Harbinger of Nightfall.

*Note: You do need to complete the mission to get the bonus reward. **Note 2: You can'' kill the Harbingers of Twilight before you get the bonus message. It will look like you won't get credit, but you will.''

Additional Notes

 * While defending the village, there are a great deal of bosses, as well as morale boosts from the Harbingers. Consider bringing skills that have long recharge times to be recharged by the morale boosts. Dervishes bringing Forms, especially Avatar of Dwayna to counter the hexes and large damage, are effective, and can stay in that Form for nearly the entire fight.
 * This mission along with Jennur's Horde can be completed before the end of the game, even though the game makes you pick one or the other. Unlike the others in the game, you dont have to wait for the completion before doing both of these missions. Tested 27/11/06

Trivia

 * "It's all in the reflexes." This part of one of Elder Jonah's intermediate dialogues is likely a reference to Big Trouble in Little China.  The character Jack Burton (played by Kurt Russell) uses this phrase twice: once when catching a bottle that is about to hit him and again when catching a knife thrown at him.
