- Talk to Tirzah's father, Ezra the rope maker, at the net racks on the shore below Yehudit's house.
- Follow the west street north out of the village and up the hill path. Look for Asher sitting beside it where it zigzags up the slope.
- Ask Tobiah the elder, in the square by the market, about the year of the fire.
- Go back up the hill path to Asher, and tell him what the elder said.

If progress seems stuck Show spoilers
- You need Faith level 12 and Out of the Darkness complete before Tirzah asks for your help. Speak Words against the spirits in the cave to raise your Faith.
- Asher sits beside the hill path where it zigzags up the slope north of the village. Follow the west street north and keep climbing. Quest guidance marks him once you need him.
- Ask Tobiah about the year of the fire only after you have found Asher; until then he talks about other things. After Tobiah, go back up the hill to Asher before you speak to Ezra again.
- The last step is at the table in Yehudit’s courtyard. Walk up to it while the feast waits. If your bag is full, the necklace goes to the storehouse.
- Lost the necklace? Talk to Asher by Ezra’s net racks on the shore. He carves another only if you hold none in your bag, the storehouse or round your neck.
