The Return of the Light
Walkthrough
Restore a burned-out lightstone by visiting sacred sites and defeating enemies of the Knights of Truth across The Commonlands, culminating in a confrontation at Cannix Silverflame's camp.
How to start
Examine the Burned Out Lightstone dropped from the corpse of Lightbringer Wisp around the Ring of Nature druid rings in The Commonlands. The lightstone emanates a strange light that may be connected to the Knights of Truth who once inhabited the region.
- Ring of Nature (lightstone drop area)
- Lightbringer Wisp spawn
Notes & prerequisites
- Can be started and completed at adventure level 15.
- Lightbringer Wisp spawns north-west of the druid rings around the few trees there.
- Heroic difficulty — several named kills and a heroic instance are required.

10. Kill General Drull
Enter the heroic instance Bloodskull Valley: Maulic's Stronghold and kill General Drull. He appears in the fourth wave of a horde of level 22 enemies. Only his death is required — completing the entire instance is not necessary.
- All group or raid members must talk to Amulius Ramio crouching behind a big rock outside the Bloodskull Valley entrance. Hail him until he completes his entire dialog — may require two or more conversations.
- If you die inside, you stay in the instance — keep fighting until General Drull appears.
- The zone is persistent (2 days 20 hours minimum, 7 days maximum). Check status with Alt+Z. If you leave before killing Drull, speak to Amulius Ramio again to regain entrance.
- Instance entrance
- Amulius Ramio (grants entrance)
Zone: Bloodskull Valley: Maulic's Stronghold
11. Defend Cannix from the Lucanic Knights
Return to Cannix Silverflame. A Lucanic Knight Initiate and two Militia guards will spawn, kill Cannix, and then attack you. You must kill them to complete the quest, even if they are gray.
- Wait for the soldiers to kill Cannix first — Cannix becomes non-attackable and the knight and guards are non-aggro until then.
- Step back and let them kill Cannix, then kill the knight and guards.
- If you kill the knight and guards first, talk to Cannix to get them to respawn.
- Cannix Silverflame
Zone: The Commonlands
Tips
- Lightbringer Wisp has a 30-minute spawn timer on the Origins server.
- Captain Gaer and Captain Ogof placeholders can make the orc captain step take many respawn cycles.
- Hail Amulius Ramio fully before entering Maulic's Stronghold — every group member must complete his dialog.
- Do not attack Cannix during the final step — let the Lucanic Knight kill him first.

Quest Text
I found a strange burned out lightstone on the remains of a wisp that I defeated out in the Commonlands. The stone is very different from the other lightstones I've seen in these parts. Maybe I can find someone who thinks it is valuable and get some coin for it.
Completion
It looks like I now have in my possession a legendary Greater Lightstone. By following the directions of Cannix Silverflame, I was able to increase the power of the lightstone gradually. Cannix says this object has some importance among his people, too bad he isn't around anymore so I can ask him about it...
