General Arbin Derrex can be found just inside the room south of the docks

The city of Erudin is being destroyed by heretics and devoted cultists. The Deepwater Knights are holed up at the docks, the only remaining portion of Erudin that hasn’t been overtaken. Erudin's most prominent guild masters have ventured into the burning city at Erud's request to reclaim the knowledge that is the lifeblood of Erudin; tomes that detail the advanced thinking of generations.

General Arbin Derrex thinks Erud's plan is foolish. Previous attempts to recover artifacts from the burning city have been mostly futile, and no one has heard from the guild masters in weeks. If it weren't for Erud's lingering hope that they could still be alive, General Arbin would burn down the remainder of the city and rebuild elsewhere. After all, knowledge lost forever is better than knowledge in the hands of heretics.

Arbin believes if you can venture into the city and bring Erud proof of the guild masters' demise that he will finally be willing to move forward with the General's plans.
