Rockgrove
Blackwood
Bosses3
An Argonian behemoth of the Sul-Xan, holding the Ruined Springs at the start of Rockgrove. His scales are red rather than the usual colour, which Dust-On-Scales reads as corruption.
A Naga warrior-mage of the Sul-Xan atop the Xanmeer Pinnacle, and the one who led the attack on Rockgrove. The trial's second boss.
A Dagonic harvester in the Tower of the Five Crimes, past the Oblivion Gate in Rockgrove. The Sul-Xan fed her the souls of the settlement, and she ends the trial.
