 * Warning: Accepting this quest means choosing the Knights of the Crucible as your faction in Defiance Bay, meaning you can no longer ally with nor perform quests for House Doemenel or the The Dozens.

Synopsis
Commander Clyver's forge knights seem to have been a success. In fact, the High Justice wants to expand by having his own forge masters build more forge knights at Fleetbreaker Castle. Commander Clyver asks the Watcher to deliver the research to one of the High Justice's commanders at Anslog's Compass.

Walkthrough
You will receive this quest from Commander Clyver at Crucible Keep after completing Built to Last.


 * Meet Aranroed by the docks in Anslög's Compass. She's located to the southeast, near the Dial. Defeat the mercenaries who show up under Padebald's command.
 * Go back to Crucible Keep and defeat the rogue forge knights.
 * Report back to Commander Clyver. You can choose to encourage him to continue his research or convince him otherwise.

If The Blade of the Endless Paths is not yet complete, DO NOT talk to Dunstan at this point. You must exit the keep, then re-enter in order for the quest to complete properly. If you give him the blade parts while he is in the war room, the quest may bug and you will never receive the completed blade.
