My people immediately waged war on these creatures, thinking them mindless beasts. While out exploring one day, I came upon a lone Forgotten in Skyward Reach and was amazed to find out that I could converse with the creature. I learned that his name was Sariss Yassith and he told me many of the secrets of this place, secrets that could have helped my people, but alas I was too late. You should seek out Sariss Yassith in Skyward Reach if you would find out more about these Forgotten.

Walkthrough
You can get to Sariss Yassith either from Augury Rock or Destiny's Gorge. Both ways are about the same length and equally dangerous.


 * From Augury Rock, after entering Skyward Reach, hug the wall to your right, until to your right the collector Rylan Paval comes into view. Now you should head to the south-east, towards the teleporter. There will be a few Hydras in your way. Dispatch them quickly because if you linger too long here, another Hydra patrol may ambush you from behind. Use the teleporter to cross the main path, which is heavily patrolled by Hydras and head east. You will meet a few small groups of Enchanted here and more Hydras. Watch the movement of the Hydras! Most groups you will encounter in this area are stationary and can be avoided, however, there are a few patrols, too. Approach Sariss Yassith's position by hugging the western side of the western of the two small mountains. Do not enter the open fields to your left, as there are many Hydras there. You will have to fight one more Hydra patrol right before you meet Sariss Yassith.


 * From Destiny's Gorge after entering Skyward Reach, hug the wall to your left, until you come to a teleporter. You will have to fight your way through some strong groups of Losaru Centaurs and a couple of Hydras. After using the teleporter, advance carefully, because this area is heavily patrolled by Hydras. Go south, turn west through the gap in the cliff face, across a small plain and through another narrow pass. Sariss Yassith is on the hill to your right. You will have to fight one more Hydra patrol right before you meet Sariss Yassith.
