Come to Asheron's aid in rescuing a pocket of trapped Empyreans. You must be a [[Knight]] in a society faction in order to have access to [[Freebooter Isle]] where they are being held. This quest requires making two trips to Freebooter, so it is best if everyone is a [[Master]] and can use the statue in the society stronghold.

	~~None of the dungeons on this quest have meaningful names given during the quest or in the item descriptions~~, so ~~for lack~~ of ~~a better alternative they have been named Empyrean Rescue Dungeon Part 1, Part 2, etc~~.		There are several spots where it is easy to die and very difficult to recover a corpse, so beware of bringing items you might lose if you die.

	#: '''Note 1:''' This won't show up on radar, you have to look for it visually. The dynamic for these portals is that they activate every 12-15 minutes and turn red for 60 seconds and is named Sparkling Portal. During this phase you can enter the portal if you have the glowing shard in your inventory (you do not need to use the shard yet). While red, the portal also shows up on radar. So if you happen to get lucky and get there while it is red, just go right in. After the minute is up the portal will "disintegrate" and appear purple and hazy again. Some players have had the portal disappear entirely, if this happens continue on until you find another. The portals are a somewhat random spawn. If no portals are found, kill creatures within the dungeon and a portal will have a chance to spawn.<br>:[[File:Sparkling Portal (Disintegrated) Live.jpg\|Disintegrated Portal]] [[File:Sparkling Portal Live.jpg\|Sparkling Portal]]		#: '''Note 1:''' This won't show up on radar, you have to look for it visually.

	#: '''Note 2:''' Whether the fixed time to spawn was intentional or not isn't known, but after repeated testing it appears that despite the shard's description, using it has no effect on the portal. It's just a matter of waiting for the portal to turn red on its own.		#: '''Note 2:''' Whether the fixed time to spawn was intentional or not isn't known, but after repeated testing it appears that despite the shard's description, using it has no effect on the portal.
