Dialogue
 * Though you left your homeland in hopes of securing a better future for your people, there are those who remained behind. Despite the Charr threat, they could not bring themselves to leave the soil on which they had been born. Now, they are in grave danger. Ascalon's great walls and soldiers have withered in your absence.


 * An old king dons his armor, heavy with time, to fight a battle he cannot win. It is his will alone that keeps Ascalon alive. Now it is up to you to make sure he too stays alive. Hurry to Frontier Gate!

Followup
 * The Titan Source

Walkthrough
This is a difficult quest for a few reasons:
 * Unlike what players would expect: The Eastern Frontier will be filled with level 24 Charr Lords! They are the equivalent of the lowly level 8 Charr in profession but much more deadly.
 * This also means that hiring henchman is not an option as the henchmen around this area are level 6.
 * The party size in this area is only four players. This means a party will have to be well balanced. The party will need a monk, a tank and a nuker. This leaves little room for creativity.

The actual quest is straight forward. Walk out the gate and a short distance (through a few Charr groups) to find the King and his guards rushing towards a group of Charr. They are low level Charr and no threat. But after that, the Armageddon Lords will start to arrive, one at a time. Each one will be accompanied with some regular Charr and some Char Lords. The groups increase in difficulty, at first there will be only one Charr Lord, then two, then two including a healer and then three Charr Lords. The final group will have Two Armageddon Lords together.

In general, you need to have a keen eye with regards to the incoming enemies. If they are not Charr Lords, you can actually ignore them completely. The King is level 24 and a solid tank himself and his guards are level 20. So, you need to make sure you target the level 24 supporters (Shamans, Mind Sparks, Flame Wielders) then the Armageddon Lords, then turn to the regular Charr. It is a good idea to intercept the incoming groups well ahead of the king, to prevent them from going after your support casters. Try not to lose the NPC healer, since one monk alone will be pushed to outheal the damage being dealt to the party.

Tips:
 * The Armageddon Lord is a tanking fire magician. He likes to get in close and then use Flame Burst and Lava Font. A tank with good elemental protection to meet him is a plus. Also, a well placed Maelstrom can greatly disrupt his damage output.
 * Winter is very useful against the titans, however not as much against the charr.
