Stalwart Village M1 - description and map | The White March Part I Pillars of Eternity Guide

Last update: 10 July 2019

The map above shows the Stalwart Village, the first location that you will visit during The White March expansion pack. It's a small settlement that dilapidated in the recent years. You will find only one merchant here. You will spend a lot of time here as this is where most of the quests start and end. During your first visit, the village will be under an ogre clan attack. Because of that, you will have to eliminate all the enemies before being able to talk to the villagers. Your party should be at least at the 8th experience level before going to the Stalwart village. You will be able to go to all other important locations on the new map from the village - the Russetwood, Durgan's Battery and the Longwatch Falls.

Important places in the Stalwart village

1. Burning house

The building has been set on fire and some people remained inside. You can try to help them escape from the house. You can send only one party member inside, so it is important to choose well.

The man on the left can be saved if you have one of the three abilities:

• Rime and Frost Followed the Footfalls of Karth, which is chanter's second level phrase;
• Winter Wind, which is druid's first level spell;
• Chill Fog, which is wizard's first level spell.

The woman on the right can be saved if you have Might on level 10. No matter if you save her or not, you can take a Frigrid Claim ring from her, it adds +5 to fire resistance and +10 to spell resistance.

Additionally the character you send should have survival skill at least at level 5 and as high the constitution as possible. This will help you avoid getting hurt or injured. Also, without it you won't be able to drag the saved person to the exit. Luckily, your companion cannot die in the fire.

2. The Gref's rest

Here you can rest, replenish your supplies or hire the adventurers.

In the inn you will meet Byrhtwen and Andred with whom you can play throwing knives. Starting the game will cost you 50 pieces of gold. Your aim is to hit the nose of the enemy on the shield. In the basement you will additionally find Teanleycg with whom you can play the dice for the same price.

6. Fishery

When you get close to the left wall of the building you will see one of the fishermen screaming while running away from one of the fish barrels. Walk close to it and click it. Choose to pull out the weird item. Your new companion, Zahua, will jump out from it.

7. Renengilda house

Inside you will meet Renengilda, the leader of Stalwart village. Talking to her is mandatory if you want to complete one of the main quests: Durgan's Battery. She will also give you two other quests: The recluse of the White March and The ogre matron.
