The Caged Bird Sings is a side story quest in Wayfinder.

Description

Start

The Shrikes have unknowingly unleashed a mechanical catastrophe in the Godsblood mines. Dismantle the Bloodbore before it destroys the mines, and our source of Godsblood, for good.

Active

Rook designed an advanced drill machine, called the Bloodbore, to dig into the depths of the Godsblood mines. The Shrikes have unknowingly unleashed it, unaware that its operation could spell catastrophe. Dismantle the Bloodbore before it's too late.

Clear

You dismantled the Bloodbore and, in the process, learned that Rook, Kestrel's old partner, had not betrayed her a year ago. Instead, he'd hidden a cache of invaluable supplies for Kestrel and Skylight, though died by the Raven's hands. Now, Kestrel has sworn revenge. For Rook, and the Shrike Syndicate that she once loved.

Clear Phase 2

Kestrel

That machine… it seemed to be operating entirely on its own. And still no sign of Rook. Do me a favor and look around the area. There has to be something we missed.

Clear Phase 3

I don't know how this survived, but this note looks important. Better read it in a safer place than here.

Clear Phase 4

Kestrel

I… read the letter as you did. Through that damned dagger of yours.

Rook. I can't believe he…

I was so angry at him. And now… he's gone.

Sorry, love. I… need a minute. Check out the spot he mentioned, would you?

We met in the Highlands. Beneath the old Bell Tree. It's a quiet spot. Used to spend a lot of time there together.

Clear Phase 5

Looks like a ton of materials are buried under here. We'll need a team to dig them all up. I should tell Kestrel.
