How to unlock Bastian Hallix

Where can you find Bastian Hallix

Bastian can be found bound on the ground at the Deepscorn Hollow objective along Blackwood’s southwest coast. Speaking with him will trigger his quest, “Competition and Contracts.”

Bastian is found in the Deepscorn Hollow objective along the southwest coast of Blackwood. He is tied up on the ground. Talking to him will begin his quest “Competition and Contracts”.

He is in a very weird situation. He came to find a fellow called Quistley Silvelle that seemed to have gotten into some problems, when he was ambushed by a Dark Elf lady called Tenarei Vels he had met along the road and that seems to be acquainted with the one he is looking for somehow. Upon freeing him you learn about a letter she had dropped. Reading it you find out that there has been an agreement with the syndicate in Leyawiin. She is supposed to bring back Quistley so that he can repay his debts.

Of course, Bastian also has a score to settle with Tenarei, as he trusted her and his trust was betrayed.
