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). A very short distance from the portal, there's a huge staircase (guarded by mobs of gargoyles) leading to the Nolani marker. The marker is a short distance from the top of the stairs. Locate the marker by using the Alt key and your radar.
 * 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.
