Dialogue
Gain the Ebon Vanguard's aid to battle the White Mantle.

Reward Dialogue
''Ascalon has long been wary of Kryta. With the help of the Ebon Vanguard, perhaps we can not only defeat the White Mantle, but also quell the distrust between our two nations.''

Walkthrough
Go to the Hall of Monuments, watch the dialogue, then step outside the Eye of the North (outpost) to speak with Keiran where you obtain the quest A Good Deed. Finish the quest.

Again travel to the Hall of Monuments and listen to a dialogue.

Fulfill Keiran's plan as noted below and return to the Hall of Monuments.

Go to the Ice Cliff Chasms for the last time.

If you did not finish Asuran Allies before this quest, finish it now. Pick your reward at Salma in the Lion's Arch Keep.

Keiran's plan
To set up the perfect dinner for Gwen, Keiran is looking for perfect items. He wants "half a dozen candles", "sweets", "drinks" and an "exotic meal".

There's always a perfect item for each category and some alternative items. To finish this part of the quest you need to hand over either each perfect item or three alternative items per category.

These are the perfect items (and some alternatives in brackets) for sweets, drinks and the exotic meal:
 * Sweets: Birthday Cupcake (Crème Brûlée, Red Bean Cake)
 * Drinks: Hard Apple Cider (Bottle of Vabbian Wine, Hunter's Ale)
 * Meals: Drake Kabob (Pahnai Salad, Truffle)

There's no alternative for the six candles. They can be received from Necromancer Munne in exchange for three Honeycombs at Sardelac Sanitarium.
