Elven Ritual

Background
When you enter the Brecilian Forest, you will come across tombstones. You must disturb the wards to find the Trevinter Mage's Hidden Treasure.

Walkthrough
As you walk through the forest you will come across tombstones. The first one you will likely encounter will not give you an option to do anything but leave, so here is my suggestion. Do not touch any of the tombstones until you reach the Elven Ruin. The reason being, if you're like me, you expect to find all 4 tombstones actually in the forest...and you would be wrong.

Once there, as you make your way through the ruin, you will come across a young ghost elf boy. You can't do anything with him, but he is leading you somewhere.



In one of the sarcophagi you will encounter along the way, you will find A Carved Elven Tablet. This Elven Tablet will give you the sequence in which to approach the altar in order to open the tomb door.


 * 1) Take the earthen jug from the fountain and fill it with water.
 * 2) Place the full earthen jug on the altar.
 * 3) Kneel before the altar and pray.
 * 4) Examine the earthen jug on the alter.
 * 5) Take a single sip from the earthen jug.
 * 6) Take the earthen jug.
 * 7) Dump the remaining water from the earthen jug into the fountain.

If you fail at doing this correctly, you will summon 2 shades who will attack your party. The earthen jug will remain intact, allowing you to try again. If you do the sequence correctly, the earthen jug will shatter and the tomb doors will open.

Fight the skeletons there and converse with the spirit mother, who is actually a Shade. Defeat her and the Greater Shade's she summons and then approach the tomb. This is your first tombstone.

The second, third and fourth tombstones are found in the Brecilian Forest. When you approach the tombstones, you will be given an opportunity to disturb the wards. Do so and fight the Revenant that spawns after doing so (along with his Skeleton Minions - mostly Skeleton Archers, Fanged Skeletons and one Skeleton Mage).

The final tombstone you should activate is the one which reads that it is a General entrusted with protecting something. Once you have defeated that Revenant, you have completed the quest and will find the Juggernaut Plate Armor on the Revenant, completing the Juggernaut Armor set.

NOTE: The final tombstone of the General is also a 'Source of Magic Power' necessary for the Mage's Liaison quests.

Result
You will receive a full set of Juggernaut Armor, but early in the game, none of your party members will be able to equip it due to it's high strength requirement.

As an Arcane Warrior you may also make use of Combat Magic which allows your Magic to count as your Strength when equipping items making this armor set easier to equip.
