Relive [[Lieutenant Thackeray|Keiran]] and [[Miku]] tracking down and defeating [[Danthor the Adamant|Danthor]].

==Quest information==
===Objectives===
*Locate Danthor the Adamant.
*Defeat Danthor the Adamant.

===Reward===
* 5,000 [[Experience]]
* 1,000 [[Gold]]
* 1,250 [[Ebon Vanguard rank|Vanguard reputation points]]
* First time: 2 [[Medal of Honor|Medals of Honor]]
* On repeat: 5 [[War Supplies]]

== Walkthrough ==
Follow the path along [[Majesty's Rest]] towards the [[Sage Lands]]. There are fewer foes if you go around the north of [[The Mausoleum]] and [[Rotscale]].

As in other [[Hearts of the North]] mini-missions:
* Use [[Keiran's_Sniper_Shot_(Hearts_of_the_North)|Keiran's Sniper Shot]] against targets called out by Miku, which causes over 900 points of damage if it hits (unless Miku's [[Promise of Death]] is removed).
* If Miku dies, she will self-resurrect once no enemies are in earshot.

==Dialogue==
;At the beginning:
:'''Keiran Thackeray:''' '' "We've made up a lot of ground. At this rate, we'll catch up to Danthor soon."''
:'''Miku:''''' "Then let's keep at it. The only forgiveness he will find is at the end of my blade. "''
:'''Keiran Thackeray:''' '' "You know, you remind me of someone."''
:'''Miku:''''' "Really? I'm just me. Are you sure that it's not just that someone else is on your mind?"''
:'''Keiran Thackeray:''' '' "..."''

;Southeast of Rotscale:
:'''Keiran Thackeray:''' '' "At this rate, the White Mantle won't stand a chance."''
:'''Miku:''' ''"We do go very well together."''
:'''Keiran Thackeray:''' '' "Wait. I was talking about fighting. What about you?"''
:'''Miku:''' ''"I wonder..."''

;At Danthor's Location:
:'''Miku:''' ''"There you are, Danthor! Accept your fate and die in peace, or die struggling in Futility!"''
:'''Danthor the Adamant:''' ''"Such tenacity. You still pursue me? It makes no difference, you know."''
:'''Danthor the Adamant:''' ''"His plans are already coming to fruition. What happens here will change nothing."''
:'''Miku:''' ''"Anything can change; all that's required is the will to do so. Let me show you mine!"''

;After Danthor dies:
:'''Miku:''' ''"At last...now the fallen can rest easier."''
:'''Keiran Thackeray:''' ''"It looks like some of the White Mantles escaped further into the Maguuma Jungle. What will you do now?"''
:'''Miku:''' ''"I need to continue. This time, for myself. The question is, Keiran, what will you do?"''
:'''Keiran Thackeray:''' ''"It's dangerous to keep on alone. I will accompany you."''
:'''Miku:''' ''"That's kind of you. I wonder, though. Maybe your kindness reveals that you rely on others too much."''
:'''Keiran Thackeray:''' ''"What do you mean?"''
:'''Miku:''' ''"Oh, I don't know. Is protecting me an excuse to keep on like this?"''
:'''Keiran Thackeray:''' ''"Let's keep on going; we don't want to lose them."''

;Gwen in the Hall of Monuments:
:'''Gwen:''' ''"So Keiran has been helping this girl deal with the White Mantle...but why?"''
:'''Gwen:''' ''"He's so...irritating! He wants to help everyone, but he just doesn't understand, does he?"''
:'''Gwen:''' ''"He can't be everywhere. By helping her, he's hurting me."''
:'''Gwen:''' ''"But look at him right now. He looks kind of happy, doesn't he? Did we ever look like that?"''
:'''Gwen:''' ''"How could we have? I was always so busy pushing him away..."''

==Notes==
* This quest is automatically obtained upon entering Majesty's Rest (via the Scrying Pool), and will be removed should one leave.
* The foes that spawn near Danthor (friendly until approached) can be individually pulled.
** Danthor can be separated from his group and killed quickly, ending the mission. Attack him, step back and wait for Miku to call him as a target, then use Keiran's Sniper Shot to finish the job.
** Even if you die, this quest can still be completed if Danthor dies (either via Miku or degen).
* If your inventory is full after Danthor is defeated, any reward items will be dropped on the ground; they will be in the [[Unclaimed Items]] box the next time you enter an [[outpost]], if you do not get a chance to pick them up sooner.
* While you must equip [[Keiran's Bow]] to access this mission, you can switch it out for another weapon, including a long or flatbow for pulling and especially one that has [[weapon upgrade]]s appropriate to Keiran's skills. However, you cannot increase his maximum health, energy, or total attributes using weapon or armor upgrades.
* [[Rotscale]] can be killed during this mission, making this an easy way to get [[Rotwing Recurve Bow]]. However, his death during this mission will not count for his [[Rotscale (Zaishen quest)|Zaishen Bounty]].
