My 90 minutes exploring the Lake District (oft referred to as ‘The Lakes’ in the north of England) was filled with death. Not of my enemies, but me. I died at the hands of a gang of Druids, by falling down a steep ledge, being burned to a crisp by a big robot guarding an underground facility, ingesting too many toxic fumes, disturbing a mutant, and unknowingly triggering a tripwire.

When you first meet Sanza in Dawnshore, he’s pretty easy to find because he’s marked with a blue exclamation mark indicating a side quest. Once you’ve completed the first ‘Mapping the Lands’ quest in Dawnshore, though, the quest marker won’t appear when you find other cartographers and need to return their maps to Sanza. That’s why you’re here, so let’s run through where to find Sanza in Avowed. Sanza can be found at Sanza’s Emporium in the south corner of Northern Paradis.

During Avowed’s ‘Shadows of the Past’ main quest, you’ll explore some ruins, pass three trials, and emerge victorious, learning a little more about your journey to reach the Garden. As you leave, however, you’ll speak with Ryngrim and Lodwyn and are left with a tough choice: side with Lodwyn and destroy the ruins, or side with Ryngrim and sever the Adra putting an end to the Dreamscourge once and for all. Here are the consequences and rewards if you destroy the ruins or sever the Adra in Avowed.

There are a number of ‘Ancient Memories’ to track down in Avowed’s various regions. Each one provides some contextual lore and grants you with another Godlike ability. Unfortunately, they’re not the easiest things to track down. Here’s where to find The Voice’s memory in Emerald Stair and what Godlike ability it rewards you with. The Ancient Memory can be found at the top of the Ranger Outpost. This is west of Fior mes Iverno, and north of the ‘Low Forest Clearing Beacon’ fast travel point.
