Wisdom of the Heart

Those who came before failed not because of weakness or flawed souls, but because they simply were not prepared to surrender everything. Even now the daemon lurks within his massive tower, secure in the belief that no mortal would willingly sacrifice himself to unbar the tower doors. You have it within your power to clear the Empire's way to the Ebon Keep, putting the Order of the Griffon that much closer to the Inevitable City. But are you willing to give up your life for a future you will never see?

Once you have mastered your mind, locate the altar of madness and use this sword to sacrifice yourself there. Your sacrifice will be the key to unbarring the doors of the Ebon Keep. Speak with Reinhold Schafer when done.
