Dialogue
 * ''"Greetings, friend! I wonder if you can help me? I am attempting to preserve Ascalon's great history before all is lost. If, on your travels, you could find and record the founder's inscriptions for the cities of Nolani, Surmia, and King's Watch, I would be so grateful. I know these great cities are in ruins now, but Lyssa willing, you'll find historical markers among the wreckage. I look forward to your return."

Walkthrough

 * 1) Do the Ruins of Surmia (Mission), near the end (after you cross the tar river to lower the draw bridge) will be the Surmia marker.
 * 2) From the Nolani Academy enter into the Diessa Lowlands (do not enter the mission), follow the quest marker underneath the drawbridge and up the big staircase to the Nolani marker.
 * 3) From Fort Ranik move west to through Regent Valley, following the marker until you reach the King's Watch marker. You can also do this from Sardelac Sanitarium but beware that the henchmen there are only level 3.
