Walkthrough[]
When walking near the Deleyn's Mill, the Vestige will find Wyress Helene. She fears for the innocents in this village as the spirit of the Wyrd weeps. She asks for help in collecting essences of Aetherius using a wyress torchbug. It has been born from the soil and sap of the Wyrd Tree, and will seek out the most soil untainted by the magic of the vines. Helene will use the essence drawn from the soil as a focus in the ritual she must perform to create a ward that will protect the mill.
Use the Wyress torchbug and follow it to find the pure soil. There will be three places to find for them. The whole area is infested with Imps and Spriggans so look out and kill them if they interfere.
After the three essence of Aetherius are collected, go back to Wyress Helene and give them to her. She feels sympathetic for the creatures killed, as they are usually not so aggressive. She then asks the Vestige to stand back when she performs the ritual but asks them to follow. She runs to the mill and cast a spell protection on the door and walks inside. Follow her inside and talk to her again.
The ward protecting the door will buy them some time so they can figure out what to do next as the villagers can't stay in the mill forever. She suggests them to talk to Wyress Jehanne if they would like to help more. Completing the quest will reward the Vestige a Wyress Sash and some
