Venn's Spire

**Venn's Spire** and its vicinity, which includes **Venn's Spire surrounding lands** and the **Venn's Spire farmlands**, are in close proximity to the city of Valmorgen, but the only way to access it is by teleportation from the Valmorgen Wizards Guild. This location is accessible only with the Trial of Venn's Spire quest. This quest is obtained by talking with the gate guards in Valmorgen and trying to leave. The option to teleport to Venn's Spire at the Wizard Guild will then be possible.

Completing the main quest at Venn's Spire permits returning to Valmorgen. This involves exploring and defeating 10 encounters to obtain 3 Keys and 7 Keystones. Note that your journal may be used to keep track of your quest items. The innkeeper also offers another way of returning to Valmorgen, for heroes that are unable to complete the quest. However, to depart the area, you will lose all your gold, as well as all Healing Potions, Elixirs of Health, Viper Venoms, Widow Brews, Strangleweed Spits, Invisibility Gems, Anti-Magic Gems, and Potions of Monster Detection.
