Distress Beacon is a main quest in Wayfinder.
Description[edit]
Start
Omen has suggested you find the smuggler, Kestrel, to learn more about the Trial of Lingering Light. Go to the Bitter End tavern to search for leads.
Active
In order to learn what the monks were truly doing in Aurelian, you will need access to the Undercroft, which means you must complete the Trial of Lingering Light. Omen has suggested you find the smuggler, Kestrel, to learn more about this rite. Ask around the Bitter End tavern in Skylight.
Clear
The Tavern Keeper, Wren, told you a Warden in the Lower City might be able to help you find Kestrel. Warden Hass initially denied knowing the smuggler but it seems she may be able to help, provided you keep a low profile.

Dialogue[edit]
Since the Gloomfall, we've had to put our pasts behind us. Wolf and the Huntmaster were once bitter enemies, but in the face of the Gloom, we have to work together. So, it is with Kestrel and I.
Who's Kestrel?
She's a smuggler who used to work with the Shrikes, and she's good at finding things we need. I'll never trust her—but she may be able to help us with this.
Kestrel keeps a low profile, but I'm sure you can find her. Ask around the Bitter End. Oh, and Wayfinder? Be careful. Kestrel is not one to divulge information for free.
A Wayfinder? Shouldn't you be out saving the world?
I'm looking for Kestrel.
Kestrel? The Shrike who emptied the Imperial treasury? Surely she died in the Fall.
Of couse she survived! The Fall couldn't kill Kestrel. The way I heard it, she's the only reason Omen survived the attack.
You talking about Kestrel? I heard she has a hideout in the Bloodworks mine, filled with Avar gold.
But where can I FIND Kestrel?
Don't believe anything this lot says. If anyone knows where to find Kestrel, it's the bartender. I hear Kestrel gave her a bottle of Firebreath Brandy stolen from a Dominion prince.
Always a delight to see a new Wayfinder at the Bitter End! What can I do for you? If you're chasing rumors, I'm just the person you need... The tavern's where all rumors come to roost, after all.
Do you know Kestrel?
By reputation. Kestrel was one of the original Shrikes. Today they're rabid bandits, but there was a time when the Shrikes were heroes of the Highlands, playing Maze and Empire alike for fools.
Before the Fall, Kestrel was the slipperiest smuggler in the Westreach. I still have a bottle of blood sherry she carried through the Maze—don't tell Wolf.
I won't.
Most think Kestrel died in the Fall, but I think she's still making sure people get what they need. But Wolf, little Lord Halar—she tricked them in the past, and they'd never trust her in Skylight.
If you're serious about making contact, I'd take a jaunt down the Great Lift and speak with the Warden. They say she and Kestrel are... acquainted, as it were. Good luck.
Well met, Wayfinder! Are you here to thrash a few Shrikes for me? Or do you have some other pressing business?
I'm looking for a smuggler named Kestrel.
Kestrel? You think I'm working with the Shrikes now? If I knew where she was, I'd have her in chains. And you can tell that to Commander Wolf! Really! As if I'd know Kestrel.
I'm sorry, I must have misunderstood.
Closer, now, and quiet. I may be able to help you.
