Quests, Levels 74-75: Ketra, Varka and the Imperial Tomb
Alliance with Ketra Orcs, Alliance with Varka Silenos, Four Goblets
The highest-level quests in this collection fall into two groups. The first is the conflict between the Ketra Orcs and the Varka Silenos: your character allies with one side, raises the alliance mark level by turning in enemy badges and unlocks quests for war, for killing the enemy hero and commander, and for stealing totems. Both sides mirror each other. The second group is trophy collecting in the Gods' Forge, the Imperial Tomb and the Four Sepulchers. The data reflects Chronicle 4: Scions of Destiny.
