Necromancer: I must leave Tristram behind... for a greater evil lurks within Caldeum. The Lord of Lies is hiding there... somewhere within the great city.
OBJECTIVES
Go to the Caldeum Bazaar through the northern part of the Hidden Camp
We Priests of Rathma tend to avoid cities, for the masses seldom take kindly to our presence. At least we have this camp outside of the walls where few will notice us. I do not believe it will take long to find Maghda -- she is nothing if not obvious.
Leah: Here we are: Caldeum, Jewel of the East. Uncle Deckard loved this place...
Tyrael: He wouldn't now that it is under the spell of Belial, Lord of Lies. I can smell his stench on the air.
Necromancer: It would be best to split our forces. You two search for Belial. I shall hunt Maghda.
Note: Leave the Hidden Camp through the north gate to the Caldeum Bazaar.
OBJECTIVES UPDATE
Talk to Asheara in the Caldeum Bazaar below the Hidden Camp
Necromancer: Are you guarding the refugees over there?
Asheara: I am not a guard. I am Asheara, commander of the Iron Wolves. We saved these refugees from Maghda's coven -- that even now wreaks havoc throughout the Borderlands.
Necromancer: Where did you last see her?
Asheara: She's heading toward Alcarnus, but has blocked the road behind her. However, there is another way: through the Khasim Outpost.
Go through the Sundered Canyon outisde the eastern gate of the Caldeum Bazaar
Maghda has been causing trouble here for some time. Refugees fill the streets, desperate for aid, and the idle rich of Caldeum cannot be bothered to help them. They may be forced to think again before we reach the end of this.
Iron Wolves Swordsman: This gate leads to Alcarnus. You will need to follow the long road over the Canyon Bridge and through the Khasim Outpost. We haven't heard anything from the Iron Wolves in the desert. If you make it to the Khasim Outpost, seek out Captain Davyd.
Templar: Maghda will pay for her wickedness.
Enchantress: Take heed, traveler. Cultists guard these desert roads, and they will slay any who pass.
Necromancer: I mean to stop them.
Enchantress: Then you must not go alone. I shall accompany you.
Enchantress: There are illusions out there -- mirages, to some -- but I can see them for what they are: the Coven's foul magic. They will lead you to your death.
Necromancer: I understand. But my death does not lie here...
Templar: She looks... different than anyone we have seen. Her skin is as soft and smooth as polished ivory, and her eyes... they... oh.
Enchantress: Why are you two whispering over there?
Templar: N-no reason!
Wounded Villager: Stay back! They're in the rocks!
Enchantress: Be careful... They are very near to us.
Necromancer: Where?
OBJECTIVES UPDATE
Kill the ambushing cultists
Templar: I've missed killing these cultist scum. Come on, then!
OBJECTIVES UPDATE
Talk to the Enchantress in the Sundered Canyon
Necromancer: You knew that would happen.
Enchantress: I am an enchantress; the way of magic and illusion are familiar to me. My name is Eirena.
Necromancer: Why have you come here?
Enchantress: Well... I am also looking for someone. But, here, let me clear the way for you.
OBJECTIVES UPDATE
Kill the lacuni attacking the Iron Wolves
Iron Wolf Guard: Captain! From behind!
Captain: Protect the people! Iron Wolves!
OBJECTIVES UPDATE
Talk to Iron Wolf Jarulf at the Sundered Canyon to the east of the Caldeum Bazaar
An enchantress has decided to guide me through these deserts. There is something strange about her, though I cannot quite place it...
Iron Wolf Jarulf: If not for you, the lacuni would have eaten well this day...
Necromancer: Are there more of them ahead?
Iron Wolf Jarulf: Even worse. Cultists are casting spells in two of their desert lairs to obscure the Black Canyon Bridge.
OBJECTIVES UPDATE
Disrupt the rituals in the Hidden Conclave and the Secret Altar in the Howling Plateau.
Disrupt the Hidden Conclave ritual
Disrupt the Secret Altar ritual
Eirena is surprisingly adept at recognizing the Coven's magic, and she doesn't seem overly bothered by my use of the dark arts. This partnership could prove useful for both of us.
Enchantress: Let us head north to the Howling Plateau. The cultists' magic seems to be emanating from there.
Note: Follow the road into the Howling Plateau. The Enchantress will detect an illusion on the road.
Enchantress: There is another illusion here. The cultists tried to hide their footsteps, but their spells are weak and easily countered. If we follow these prints, we can find their lairs and halt the rituals. I will seek out any other traces of their magic.
Enchantress: This is one of the cultists' lairs. They are casting part of the illusion inside.
Enchantress: This should remove part of the illusion.
Note: You might find Cain's Lost Satchel here, which drops a book.
Alcarnus Refugee: I'd lost all hope...
Prisoner: Thank you!
Prisoner: Akarat bless you!
Note: After exiting back into the Howling Plateau, go straight west.
Enchantress: Look! More hidden footprints...
Enchantress: This is one of the cultists' lairs. They are casting part of the illusion inside.
Pain Monger: Flesh!
Deranged Cultist: The ritual is being disrupted!
Enchantress: There, that ought to dispel the Coven's magic. Let us go to the bridge.
Caldeum Commoner: They... they tortured my poor husband!
Enchantress: We will avenge him!
Prisoner: I owe you my life! Bless you!
OBJECTIVES UPDATE
Go to the Black Canyon Bridge
Enchantress: Tell me, what shall you do when Maghda is dead?
Necromancer: Kill the demon lord she serves.
Enchantress: How curious... You must be the one I was meant to find here.
LOCATION: BLACK CANYON BRIDGE
Enchantress: I think it is time for you to know my true tale.
OBJECTIVES UPDATE
Talk to the Enchantress
Enchantress: I am not from Caldeum. I learned these spells fifteen hundred years ago. My sisters and I pledged our service to a man of great power. We called him The Prophet.
He trained us and placed us in a magical slumber to awaken in this era. I am to prevent the Lords of Hell from invading.
Necromancer: The Prophet? I have not heard of this figure. But your aid is welcome.
