Challenges[edit]
Various challenges can be activated by talking to 
Veadh near the entrance. Once the first event finishes, they cannot be further changed.
Recall the Vigil strike teams. (Adds a timer to mission failure.)- Recall the Order of Whispers infiltrators. (Strengthens enemies.)
- Recall the Priory enchanters. (Enemy champions gain strength.)
Pull all forces back. I'll handle it. [All challenges on.]
We need all forces on the field. [All challenges off.]
- The challenge timer is 11 minutes.
- It is advised to skip elite mobs once the timer starts because they are not necessary for the event to finish.
- The Destroyer of the Third Fortress boss has a channeling attack that deals lethal damage anywhere other than on the other side of the central statue. The zone where it's safe to stand is indicated by a green circle. (Note: players must be on ground level inside the circle otherwise they will still receive lethal damage) There is also a pulsing wave attack that can be jumped over that leaves a fire field that produces multiple stacks of burning.

Dialogue[edit]
- Entering the instance
- Kasmeer: Commander! Crecia's securing the Postern Gate, but it's only a matter of time now.
- <Character name>: The destroyers are attacking already? Did you manage to call for reinforcements?
- Kasmeer: I did. I received word of a number of allied factions in the area.
- <Character name>: Yes, but will they arrive in time is the question.
- Kasmeer: Gotta trust them. But right now, we need to rally the locals.
- <Character name>: They don't want to fight? It's their city.
- Kasmeer: They're just nervous having a charr imperator fighting from the inside out.
- If charr or human:
- <Character name>: It's been ten years since we signed that treaty. How much longer are we gonna have to put up with this?
- Otherwise:
- <Character name>: It's been ten years since the treaty was signed. How is this still acceptable?
- Kasmeer: They're on our side, Commander. But this is new to them. They just need a little push. C'mon, let's muster the troops.
- Crecia Stoneglow: I hope you're talking some sense into these humans—destroyer activity is on the rise over here!
- After Defend Ebonhawke's gates, and rally defenders against the destroyers
- Crecia Stoneglow: Commander, the Postern Gate's fallen! Fall back! Kas, where are those reinforcements?
- One of the following:
(if Faction Aid is Charr)
- Kasmeer: There! Crecia, look! More charr, and enough ordnance to stop those destroyers in their tracks!
(if Faction Aid is Crystal Bloom)
- Kasmeer: There! The Crystal Bloom-they made it! We should protect those healers—they can help us manage our losses.
(if Faction Aid is Ebon Vanguard)
- Kasmeer: There! The Ebon Vanguard! They'll rally the city—help us push the destroyers back underground!
(if Faction Aid is Deldrimor Dwarves)
- Kasmeer: There, look! The dwarves made it—looks like they brought that alchemical acid, too! Let's get it on the field!
(if Faction Aid is Flame Legion)
- Kasmeer: There! Crecia, look! Flame Legion backup just made it onto the field! Time to fight fire with fire!
(if Faction Aid is Skritt)
- Kasmeer: There! The skritt actually showed up! Looks like they might need some direction from us, though. Let's help them out.
- Crecia Stoneglow: Nice work with the locals. Wasn't sure you'd be able to convince them I was here to help.
- Kasmeer: They weren't sure what to make of you. Lot of these people spent their lives trying to keep the imperators out.
- Kasmeer: But actions speak louder than words. And much louder than decade-old pieces of paper.
- Crecia Stoneglow: I'm done squinting at treaties. If they can't see what I'm trying to do with the charr, they aren't paying attention.
- Kasmeer: They are paying attention. That's why they're fighting with us.
- After Defend the inner district of Ebonhawke from destroyers
- Kasmeer: By the gods—!
- Crecia Stoneglow: It came from the center of the stronghold!
- During fighting Destroyer of the Third Fortress
- Crecia Stoneglow: Damn thing dug right under our defenses! C'mon, everyone! You want your city to fall to some overgrown bug?
- After defeating the Destroyer of the Third Fortress
- <Character name>: Well. Looks like they're retreating for now. Everyone all right?
- Kasmeer: The stronghold stands. At least for another day.
- Crecia Stoneglow: You helped. But the Treaty of Ebonhawke's ten years old. It's time we moved past it.
- <Character name>: Moved past it how?
- Crecia Stoneglow: Anyone can tear up a piece of paper—throw the world into disarray. We either trust each other or we don't.
- Kasmeer: I think today was a step in the right direction.
- Crecia Stoneglow: There's more to be done. But I think you're right. Thanks, Kas. Commander.
- Optionally talking to Kasmeer
- Kasmeer: Those poor people... Ebonhawke's been through so much.
- They'll repair the damage. They always do.
- Kasmeer: Yeah. They're a proud people, surviving worse than this. But even so...I hate seeing them constantly under siege.
- Kasmeer: It sets the mind a certain way, always having enemies at the gates. First charr, then Renegades and Separatists...
- Kasmeer: Maybe after Crecia's dealt with the Renegades and we've dealt with Primordus, Ebonhawke can finally...y'know, relax.
- Were you worried how Ebonhawke would react to Crecia?
- Kasmeer: Worried, no. It just needed to be...handled properly.
- Kasmeer: Ebonhawke—I mean, aside from the Separatists—I think they're ready to move on.
- Kasmeer: Bangar was saying things that really scared these people. And Crecia used to be his second-in-command.
- Kasmeer: We just had to remind them what Crecia was fighting for up in Drizzlewood. That helped a lot.
- Have you been working with Crecia at all after Drizzlewood?
- Kasmeer: Yes, quite a bit. She's been working to clear up the rest of the Renegades and Bangar's Dominion.
- Kasmeer: I spent a lot of time with the charr in Drizzlewood, so Crecia asked if I could help finish what we started.
- Kasmeer: It's important for human-charr relations that we very publicly, very loudly go after these groups.
- Kasmeer: You saw today what kind of effect that can have. It's the difference between peace and war. It's worth it.
Ebonhawke owes you a debt. Talk soon.
- Optionally talking to Crecia
- Crecia Stoneglow: I was worried about these people, but they came through in the end.
- They trust you now.
- Crecia Stoneglow: Sure, but if every charr needs to personally save this city before they can be trusted, we're in trouble.
- Crecia Stoneglow: I know this was different. I'm an imperator—that's a big step. But we can't be like this. We need to be better.
- Crecia Stoneglow: If the Black Citadel was attacked and we called on the Ebon Vanguard, would they respond like I did today?
- Crecia Stoneglow: I hope so. That's the only way this is going to work.
- What were you doing in the Fields of Ruin?
- Crecia Stoneglow: Tying up loose ends. Now that Bangar's...indisposed, Malice and I took a tour of his office.
- Crecia Stoneglow: He was covering his tracks, but Malice confirmed her suspicions: Bangar was bankrolling the Renegades.
- Crecia Stoneglow: We got information on their strongholds, power structure, who's loyal, who isn't...everything. Actionable intel.
- Crecia Stoneglow: So I'm acting.
- Are the United Legions still united?
- Crecia Stoneglow: The charr legions are still the legions. Warband as family, warband above self.
- Crecia Stoneglow: But it's clear we need stronger cohesion among the imperators. Not sure we'd survive another Bangar.
- Crecia Stoneglow: To answer your question: yes, the United Legions remain united. But that's short term. And that worries me.
- How is Mia Kindleshot as Iron's new imperator?
- Crecia Stoneglow: Cut from the same cloth, that's for damn sure. Not surprised, considering the company Smodur liked to keep.
- Crecia Stoneglow: Fortunately for us, she doesn't have the same...aspirations that Smodur had.
- Crecia Stoneglow: Khan-Ur's a tricky subject. Just saying you want the job can get you shanked. She knows better.
- Crecia Stoneglow: Aside from that, the rank and file like her and she's promoted loyal tribunes. Kindleshot'll do Iron proud, I think.
- Thanks for your help today.
Notes[edit]
Trivia[edit]
- A flock of chickens can be found near the farms at the southwestern end of the stronghold, surrounded by slain destroyers. This is a reference to how attacking the chickens in the open world version of the Ebonhawke area results in three hostile chickens spawning with high armor rating and attacking the player.
