Walkthrough

Gray Passage The Vestige will be first introduced to Ranev when reading the book The Raneviad, Volume II, which tells a tale about Ranev the Coal-Eyed Wanderer, a Nedic hero who sought to honor ancient heroes. To do so, she traveled to the Stone of Hosiven. There, she discovered Grey Mehnir, a giant standing stone. While still amazed by its size, words started appearing in it:

Heed the Stars, O pilgrim, and undertake their quest. Seek their six virtues, hewn into stone. Bear each command with a noble heart and return with the utmost speed. For only the swift and the just shall receive celestial favor.

After reading the words carved into the rock before her, she swore to undertake the quest in order to gain the favor of the Stars.
