Walkthrough
This is a pretty straightforward and simple quest. Follow the path that curves from the north of Quarrel Falls to the south, towards the exit into Ettin's Back. There are three groups of White Mantle that you must defeat. Each of the groups usually consist of two White Mantle Knights and a White Mantle Sycophant.

There are groups of Maguuma Centaurs that may engage the White Mantle units, particularly the last group; the other two groups are less likely. If you see them fighting and the White Mantle appear to be losing, do not wait. Help the White Mantle kill off the other group. If you let the Centaurs kill off the White Mantle, the quest will fail and you will have to start over.

Once the last group of White Mantle falls, this part of the quest is finished. Head into Ettin's Back and complete it by finding Councilor Vaylor.

Follow-up

 * Upon completion of the quest players will find themselves in Ettin's Back just outside Ventari's Refuge, where they continue the storyline with Primary Quest:Urgent Warning which is obtained from Councilor Vaylor.
