Arawai is the goddess of plant life, fertility, and abundance, and is one of the best-loved of the Sovereign Host. However, this isolated wilderness temple has fallen into disuse. Her follwers (typo on loading screen for "followers") instead flock to her many shrines inside the city of Stormreach.

Tips and Misc

Walkthrough

To complete the quest, you don't need to touch any puzzles or explore any side rooms. Head north, then south-east, south-west, then north again. Drop down, pass a shrine, and continue to end fight. Pick up the apple to finish the quest.

To complete the quest, it's best to not touch the puzzle. The crystal (middle) puzzle tile needs to be lit for the path to be open, and that's how it is by default.

Optional

The Figure out where the levers lead optional involves unlocking barriers, by moving the farthest mirror in Mirror puzzle at the end, for the light beam to hit one of two Crystals for two individual door barriers. A magically sealed Secret Door near the top of the downwards spiral steps requires 3 gems to be lit before it will actually open and reveal the Chest. Using the Tile Puzzle, you can also light up two gem (blue and green gem tiles) at the same time to open the Shrine room, which also contains a Lever.
