We reached Snapdragon's cottage in Firsthold. We should look for Snapdragon and the research she compiled regarding the Ceythalmor and her hunt for the traitor.
Objective: Search Snapdragon's Cottage
We arrived at Snapdragon's cottage only to find the smell of burnt paper lingering in the air. I should talk to Tanlorin.
Objective: Talk to Tanlorin
There are burnt pages on the floor and the cottage has been ransacked. I should look to see if anything survived this apparent attempt to destroy Snapdragon's research.
Objective: Look for Snapdragon's Notes
Hidden Objective: Check Scorched Papers
Apparently nothing survived the attempt to destroy Snapdragon's research. There's no sign of Snapdragon, and all that remains is a blank piece of paper. I should talk to Tanlorin.
Objective: Talk to Tanlorin
Tanlorin can sense a connection between Snapdragon and this seemingly blank piece of paper. They think there's a message hidden on the page. I need to find flower petals and oil to make an ink wash, which should reveal the invisible message.
Objective: Take Bluemoth Petals
Objective: Take Oil
I gathered the necessary ingredients to create the ink wash. I should mix them together at the alchemy worktable.
Objective: Mix the Ink Wash at the Alchemy Bench
I should use the ink wash on the blank sheet of paper and see what happens.
Objective: Confirm Tanlorin's Hunch
Hidden Objective: Use the Ink Wash on the Paper
Hidden Objective: Read the Revealed Message
Success! The ink wash revealed a message from Snapdragon hidden on the blank paper. I should talk to Tanlorin about what it said.

Snapdragon's secret message said she went to meet Hyacinth alone near the Bone Orchard, at an old Garland Ring meeting site. We should head to Grahtwood and try to catch up with them.
Objective: Go to the Meeting Site Near the Bone Orchard

Objective: Search the Meeting Site
Hidden Objective: Examine the Interior Damage

Hidden Objective: Examine the Dagger
Hidden Objective: Examine the Smoldering Ashes
Hyacinth and Snapdragon are nowhere to be found, but there's definitely signs of a struggle. I should talk to Tanlorin to see what they want to do.
Objective: Talk to Tanlorin
Tanlorin noted there's a good amount of blood nearby but no bodies. They think we can follow to trail to a survivor of the battle that took place here. I should crouch down so I can follow the trail better.
Objective: Follow the Trail of Blood
The trail of blood led us to a severely wounded Snapdragon. Tanlorin asked me to talk to her.
Objective: Talk to Snapdragon
Snapdragon died from her injuries. She said the Ceythalmor attacked her, and Hyacinth was with them. She accused him of being the traitor. Before she died, she told us they were planning to take her to the tunnels beneath a tower in Southpoint.
Objective: Find the Smuggler's Tunnels Beneath Southpoint
Hidden Objective: Find the Trapdoor
We found the tunnels beneath Southpoint. We should search them for any sign of the Ceythalmor or Hyacinth.
Objective: Search the Southpoint Smuggler's Tunnels

Objective Hint: Talk to Agent Firinn
(Following appears after speaking with agent first time)
Objective Hint: Wait for Tanlorin
(Following appears after Tanlorin makes offer)

Hidden Objective: Simple Metal Disk
I should talk to Tanlorin about the journal and metal disk I found while searching the Ceythalmor captain's quarters.
Objective: Talk to Tanlorin
Tanlorin believes that the etched disk I found is one of Hyacinth's devices. They said I should toss it in the fire to see if it will reveal any information.
Objective: Toss the Etched Disk into the Fire
The etched disk revealed that Hyacinth is a prisoner. If what we saw is to be believed, he's not the traitor. He was taken to meet the real traitor at Crimson Cove. I should talk to Tanlorin to see what they want to do.
Objective: Talk to Tanlorin
Tanlorin is eager to save Hyacinth from the Ceythalmor. We need to make our way to Malabal Tor to reach Crimson Cove and find him.

Optional Step: Talk to Tanlorin
Somewhere within the passages of Crimson Cove, the Ceythalmor hold Hyacinth prisoner. We should search the cove for Tanlorin's captive friend.

We freed Hyacinth. Now we should exit Crimson Cove and talk to him outside.
Objective: Exit Crimson Cove
I should speak with Hyacinth and find out what that was all about.
Objective: Talk to Hyacinth
Wisteria tortured Hyacinth for information about the Garland Ring. He convinced her there was a journal at his greenhouse in Greenshade that contained valuable information about the Ring. If we hurry we might be able to confront her.
Objective: Go to Hyacinth's Greenhouse in Greenshade
We reached the greenhouse in Greenshade. Now to look around and see if Wisteria came here as Hyacinth suspected.
Objective: Find Wisteria
Hidden Objective: Check Greenhouse
We encountered Wisteria at Hyacinth's greenhouse, but a magical barrier prevents us from attacking her. I should take this opportunity to speak to her and try to understand why she betrayed the Ring.
Objective: Talk to Wisteria
Wisteria departed. I should talk to Tanlorin about what we learned and how they're dealing with all this.
Objective: Talk to Tanlorin
Finishes quest  We exposed Wisteria as the traitor within the Garland Ring. I should speak with Tanlorin again to see what they want to do next.
Objective: Talk to Tanlorin
Notes
* Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the game and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.
  • Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
  • Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
