Walkthrough[]
Upon completing "Imperial Incursion," if you have previously completed "The Search for Shiri," General Thoda will tell you that Prince Azah is currently in the Motalion Necropolis looking for Shiri. He will suggest that you go join the prince there.
The necropolis is on the west side of Satakalaam. Once you arrive, you will find Talia at-Marimah at the entrance; speak with her and she will tell you that Shiri is here and is raising some of the most evil people to ever come out of the Alik'r. Talia went in to stop her alongside Prince Azah and Throne Keeper Farvad, but they were overpowered; Talia is not sure whether the others are still alive.
Head inside and start looking for Prince Azah. Talia will accompany you here. Take the path to the north, then head east once you get to the bridge. There, you will find the Crypt of the Virtuous Maidens; Azah will be inside. You will notice him to your left once you enter; dispatch the enemies and then talk to him. He will tell you that Shiri now has all three of the Ansei Wards; she took the wards you recovered previously from Azah and Farvad. He will say that Ansei Maja's ward is in the next room; Shiri performed some kind of ritual and then left it there. Head through the door to your north; you will find the ward with the spirit of Alasan floating above it; Shiri apparently freed him from the ward. Kill him, then take the ward.
Once you have Ansei Maja's Ward, it is time to go looking for Throne Keeper Farvad. Head outside and across the bridge, then continue along the path until you have crossed a second bridge. East of there, you will find the Tomb of Blessed Interment; head in and you will see Farvad to your left. Speak with him and he will tell you that Shiri has corrupted the Ward, but that he will be able to cleanse it if you protect him during the ritual. Head over to the next room and you will find the ward there. Farvad will start cleansing it; your task is to defend him from the several waves of consecrated dead that will attack you during the process. Once the dead are dead again and Farvad has finished the ritual, te will tell you to meet him at the central tomb so you can confront Shiri.
Proceed onward and exit the Ward Chamber, then head straight ahead to the central tomb. You will meet Azah and Farvad there; speak with Farvad and he will tell you that Shiri is trying to resurrect her father Suturah. Shiri has sealed the door though, but Farvad will tell you that by wielding the power of the two wards you have, they can break the seal and open the door. This does mean that two of your companions bust stay behind; you must now choose which of Farvad, Azah and Talia will accompany you. Once you have made your choice, the other two will unseal the door and you can head inside to confront Shiri.
Shiri will be down the path in the center of the big room. She will attack you on sight, but once she is at low health, she will sacrifice herself to raise her father from the dead. Suturah is quite a bit stronger than Shiri, so be prepared. After you have killed him, the spirit of Ansei Halelah will appear and tell you to take her Ward; take it, then meet up with your friends outside. Ansei Halelah has opened a portal to Sentinel there, but will request to speak with you before you head through. Talk to her to finish the quest and start the next one, "Restoring the Ansei Wards."
