Detailed Walkthrough
You can start the quest in one of the following ways:
Talk to Josajeh in the Athenaeum in Ceporah Tower.
:Yes. Where am I headed this time?
:''"A new cluster of time distortions appeared in the swamps and fields north of Black Marsh—Shadowfen and Deshaan specifically. Take the Augur, the seals, and this map of the region. At this point, I'm sure you know what to do with them."
:I'll seal these new time breaches. Do you need anything else?
:"It might be worth talking to the Loremaster. He would never admit it, but I think something is bothering him. Something about the staff fragments."
:All right. I'll set out for Black Marsh after I speak with Celarus.
Talk to Loremaster Celarus in the main hall of Ceporah Tower.
: 

You now receive  ,   and 9  . Talk to Loremaster Celarus.
:"Ah, initiate. What a welcome diversion. I assume Josajeh told you that our scryers are well on their way to locating the last four fragments of the staff. We have you to thank. Now then, can I help you with something?"
:Have you made any progress with the staff?
:"Progress? To be perfectly honest ... no, we have not. It was my intention to keep the various fragments separate from one another—to seal them away in discrete hidden vaults. The results have been less than satisfactory."
:What do you mean?
:"Some force keeps drawing the fragments back together. Despite my best efforts, they resist any attempt to fully separate them. I have tried safes, vaults, warding cases ... but every time, the fragments manage to reunite."
:Do you have any idea why?
:"Not yet. But I will say this—there is an intention to it. Of that, I am certain. Something in these fragments yearns for reunification. To what end? That remains a troubling mystery. But those questions will keep. You have work to do, initiate."''

Examine the map in your inventory.

The following table lists the locations of the breaches, and the quotes from the Augur of the Obscure when you get near. Use the Augur when you are near a breach to be able to see it and seal it. Sealing a breach uses one of the Psijic Seals.


After closing all breaches return to Artaeum and talk to Josajeh
:"Welcome back, initiate! No shortage of mud on your feet, I see. Did you manage to seal all the time breaches in the swamp?"
:Yes, I placed all the Psijic Seals and closed the breaches.
:''"Well done! With those seals in place, we should have a much better idea of where the remaining staff fragments are hidden. I can't wait to see them!"
:Wait, I thought Loremaster Celarus was sealing the fragments away.
:"That was the plan, yes. But as he may have told you, separating the pieces has proven difficult—even for our most powerful monks. It looks like we'll have to study the staff after all. I'm sure I don't need to tell you how exciting that is!"
:You think you'll find a way to keep the pieces apart?
:"Maybe. The leadership seems confident enough. As for me, I'm just happy to have the opportunity to see it! Now, you should probably check in with the Loremaster. With any luck, our scryers have found the remaining fragments already."

Now talk to Loremaster Celarus to complete the quest.
:"Tranquil greetings, initiate. It seems your efforts in the swamp proved fruitful. Just a short time ago, our scryers located the remaining fragments of the Staff of Towers."
:Are you ready for me to set out?
:"I am. But first we should take a moment to acknowledge your achievement. A Psijic must never sacrifice the present at the cost of an uncertain future. Take this as a reward, ceruval. I suspect you will find a use for it before long."''
