Breaking the Flame

Reaching down to claim the now-restored gem, you note that it is surprisingly cool for an item that was ablaze just moments before. Indeed, it does seem as though this ancient gem does absorb the fury of the flames. Vethania was well aware that Lord Uthorin does not tolerate failure well. As she explained it to you prior to your departure: 'Should this Gem not prove successful in battle, it will be you and I who suffer the consequences of failure. If you survive long enough to claim the Gem, it would be wise for you to test it. 'I have the perfect test subject in mind: Xeritha the Scorned. He will be waiting for you in the Drake's Vale.'

Search Dragonwake for the Drake's Vale. Xeritha the Scorned should be nearby, near the road to Taromir's Malice. Give the Dragonflame Gem to Xeritha the Scorned when you find him.
