Good to know
- Locals say its lady wears black and is always in mourning.
- She is said to hide or reveal the keep depending on who comes.
- People who mean her harm never find the gates.
- Xanthe's guards hand Coen a lantern, which acts as his invitation.
- Most doors inside open when you place the lantern in a statue.
- The Relic of St. Dasius, a legendary amulet, is inside after the lantern puzzle.
What's here
The keep is Xanthe's home, the same place guides call Xanthe's Manor. Expect lantern puzzles and several rooms worth searching.
How to take it
You cannot force your way in. Wait for Xanthe's guards to give you a lantern, then use it on the statues to open doors.
Rewards
The Relic of St. Dasius sits in a side room after the lantern puzzle; guides disagree on which one, so search the balcony rooms. The Corrupted Pendant from The Cycle of Love is tied to the keep too.
