For a completion-friendly route through Captain Brant’s Vernworth quests, take the available requests and complete them in this order: Disa’s Plot → Monster Culling → The Caged Magistrate → The Nameless Village → The Stolen Throne → An Unsettling Encounter → Feast of Deception. This is a recommended route, not a mandatory sequence: one guide says five of the first six Brant quests are enough to unlock Feast of Deception. If you want to see as much related content as possible, finish the earlier quests you care about before asking Brant to proceed, since sources do not agree on exactly what remains available afterward.
Recommended Captain Brant quest order
Brant’s early requests are not all a single linear chain; a guide describes the initial quests as available in any order. This sequence favors convenience and completing more of his content before the coronation progression step.
- Disa’s Plot. Start with this city-based task. You visit the castle offices at night to find evidence and then report back to Brant. Game8’s quest-order guide places it first because it can be started immediately and is short compared with the trips outside the city.
- Monster Culling. Next, leave Vernworth to assist Vermund’s soldiers. The quest’s listed locations include Trevo Mine, Harve Village, Stormwind Cave, and East Vermund; return to Brant after completing its objectives. See the quest database entry for the location list.
- The Caged Magistrate. Brant gives you access to the Vernworth dungeon quest. GameSpot’s guide says he provides a Gaol Key and notes that a disguise may be useful when entering the dungeon.
- The Nameless Village. Complete this before the coronation step if you are following the full route. The village also offers a practical reason to visit before moving on: Game8 notes Thief equipment and a Thief Maister skill at the quest location.
- The Stolen Throne. Do this masquerade quest before proceeding to the coronation quest in the recommended order.
- An Unsettling Encounter. Handle Brant’s rumor quest about Allard before asking him to move the main story forward.
- Feast of Deception. Use this as the next main progression step once you have completed the earlier quests you want to do.
Game8 recommends the full sequence above and says five of the first six quests can unlock Feast of Deception. Another guide lists five prerequisites: Disa’s Plot, Monster Culling, The Caged Magistrate, The Nameless Village, and The Stolen Throne. The available guides therefore do not establish that every player must finish all six earlier quests before the coronation quest.
How to start Brant’s Vernworth quests
According to PowerPyx’s Seat of the Sovran walkthrough, this quest progression follows In Dragon’s Wake. Meet Brant at the Stardrop Inn in Vernworth at night, speak with him, and choose the dialogue requests you want added to your journal. The first available choices include Monster Culling, Disa’s Plot, and The Caged Magistrate.

Disa’s Plot: go at night
The walkthrough for Disa’s Plot recommends visiting the inn at night, then entering the castle offices to take the Torn Letter before returning to Brant. Game8 calls the quest time-sensitive, but the cited information does not establish a precise timer or what happens if it is missed. Treat it as worth doing promptly, without assuming a specific deadline.
The Caged Magistrate: use Brant’s key
Brant supplies a Gaol Key for the dungeon quest. A disguise may also help when entering, according to GameSpot’s guide; prepare for restricted access rather than treating it as an ordinary city visit.
Rank #2
Choose between faster progression and a cautious completion route
| Approach | What to do | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Progress sooner | Complete the quest threshold Brant requires, then choose the dialogue that advances to Feast of Deception. | Players prioritizing the main story over finishing every related request first. |
| See more Brant-related content | Follow the full recommended sequence and finish the available earlier quests you care about before proceeding. | Players who prefer to avoid a possible loss of access or later backtracking. |
The second approach is cautious rather than a guaranteed lockout workaround. Guides differ about which quests remain available after starting Feast of Deception, and the available sources do not settle every lockout case. For that reason, do not treat completing all six earlier quests as a universal requirement—or assume an unfinished quest will definitely remain available later.
