Desperate Gambit

Your words are madness and yet I sense a fey purpose in your eyes. You have come here hoping for more than merely assisting an ally. Alas, but I cannot sense the energies beyond those which form my prison. Indeed, Marighast has sunk so much power into this place that it has almost grown a will of it's own. It would take a very great force to withstand the protective magics placed here and, bound as I am, I fear I can be of no aid to you.

Find and investigate the Black Ice Altar to see whether you can withstand Marighast's protective magics. Summon the Bound Lorekeeper once again when finished, by opening a Black Ice Chest. Speak to Charles the Militant when finished.
