==Walkthrough==
Upon completing "Puzzle of the Pass," Count Verandis Ravenwatch will tell you to tell the troops they are to remain here and should not proceed further up The Doomcrag. Baron Alard Dorell and Countess Eselde Tamrith will be near the portal; they will not listen to Verandis's strategy and will insist that their best troops come along to the Doomcrag. After you have spoken with them both on the subject, head up the stairs to go speak with Count Ravenwatch. You will be stopped by an ayleid spirit named Wynaldia; she will inform you of the Lightless Remnant's history, and will tell you that if it is destroyed, the blood-curse that lays upon it will flow throughout the land unhindered. 
Anyway, head up the stairs and across the bridge and speak with Count Verandis there. When you arrive, he will be talking to Gwendis, telling her that the relic will call to her and that she should resist that call. He will not be happy that the troops are coming along, and will inform you of the reason why he wanted them to stay behind: the Lightless Remnant feeds on life; he fears that the soldiers will not be able to resist its call and will turn into Bloodfiends. 
When you are done talking, Verandis will head into the Doomcrag. Follow after him and into the chamber ahead. The troops will follow you, but as they enter, an apparition of Baron Wylon Montclair will appear and turn the troops into hostile bloodfiends. After they are defeated, Montclair will summon two Bone Colossuses and a horde of risen dead against you and your allies. Defeat them too, and Verandis will try to reason with Montclair. Montclair however blames Verandis for the death of his wife and daughter, and promptly teleports away Gwendis, Countess Tamrith and Count Dorell. Speak with Count Verandis after this and he will tell you that they are all still alive, but that Gwendis's hunger grows and she will soon not be able to resist feeding on the others. He also warns that Baron Montclair will try to use you against him.
Follow verandis up the stairs and through the door to the middle tier, then up along the side of the building. In the next big chamber, you will see Gwendis and the others trapped by Montclair's magic; Gwendis will tell you that she cannot resist the urge to drink much longer. Speak with Count Ravenwatch and he will tell you that the statues here in the room are being used to power the ward that is trapping your friends. The Count will tell you that he can try and dispel the barriers, but that Baron Montclair will likely send troops in to prevent that from happening.
As Verandis tries to dispel the ward, Montclair's troops will start coming in, among them several gargoyles. The attacks from the gargoyles can destroy the statues in the room, which will make it easier for Verandis, so try and bait them to use their strong moves near the statues. After the ward is dealt with and the enemies stop coming, the nobles will fall unconscious and Count Ravenwatch will praise Gwendis for resisting the urge to feed. Darien Gautier and Skordo the Knife will come in at this moment, but instead of letting them partake in the battles ahead, Verandis tells them to take the unconscious bodies of Baron Dorell and Countess Tamrith to safety.
Talk to Count Verandis and he will tell you to go on ahead; you need to distract Baron Montclair while he does the preparations needed to take the man down. Montclair cannot just be killed; that would break the Lightless Remnant and release its curse on all of Rivenspire. Verandis needs to research a way to sever Montclair from the Remnant while you distract him. Head up the stairs to the upper tier and continue along the path. In the relic chamber, you will find a hostile Montclair. Kill him. After you do so, the Remant will start to crack, and Count Verandis will show up. He will be tempted by the power the Remnant has to offer him, but he will resist, and tell you that the remnant needs to be taken to the plane of his master. 
When you talk to Verandis, he will tell you that he is going to take the Remnant to the plane of his master, Molag Bal. He will ask you to tell Adusa-daro that she is now in charge of House Ravenwatch, and that she should look after Gwendis well. After that, you will be teleported out of the Doomcrag. Talk to Darien Gautier here and he will tell you that you should head back to Shornhelm, but that you should first speak to Gwendis. Gwendis has taken Verandis's death very hard; speak some words of comfort to her to finish the quest and start the next one, "The Crown of Shornhelm."
