Upon acceptance of the new quest, you enter a dungeon area called "The Secret Templar Stronghold"where you ultimately will have to kill the [[Grand Maester]].[[File:The_Templar's_Reckoning_map.png|thumb|right|300px|Map (v2.2.1)]]

Templar of the Order: "Take this-the grand master's new proclamation." This proclamation is a People [[Lore Book]] that can be viewed in the GaleryGallery.<br>You then move on to the next room where you hear a Templar Inquisitor saying "Bring me that whip. It's time to purify the initiate". A conversation with the Inquisitor can be initiated at this point.<br>Kormac: "Stop! How can you do this to your fellow templar?"<br>Templar Insquisitor: "We bless them with the truth, as we did for you, Kormac. But if the greatest of all templar wishes them freed, it shall be so."<br>After the prisoners are freed, the Templar Inquisitor says "We've been ordered to take you to the grand maester as soon as possible. Follow me."<br>So, you move along a dark alley to reach a room where you encounter the Grand Maester and his guards.<br>Grand Maester: "Kormac! The shining example of a true templar! We have much to talk about."<br>Kormac: "Yes we do, grand maester. You have betrayed us all, starting with torment of our initiation!"<br>Grand Maester: "It was brutal, but necessary. I did the hard things no one else would-for the ascension of humanity."<br>Grand Maester: "I carry the weight of my actions with me always. Are you ready to make a similar sacrifice, Kormac?"<br>Grand Maester: "Will you stand with me, and become maester in due time? I need you."<br>Kormac: "But... I... No! Your power has driven you to madness if you think I would help you rule over mankind."<br>Grand Maester: "This saddens me greatly, my son. I am sorry. Kill him."<br>

[[Templar Arbalest]]s and [[Templar Inquisitor]]s now attack you while the Grand Measter moves to another room. Once the Grand Maester's guards are taken care of, you chase him but stumble on the Maester's Satchel containing a Quest [[Lore Book]] called the Grand Maester's Journal (that you can view in the Gallery). [[File:The_Templar's_Reckoning_004s_Reckoning_008.jpg|thumb|rightcenter|300px800px|Map Finding the Grand Maester's Journal (v2.2.1)]]Now it is finally time to dispose of the [[Grand Maester]]. Once this is done, Kormac says "I dedicated my life to a lie. Everything I thought I knew... It was all in the service of a madman. I swear that every templar I meet will be freed from the lies of the order. And if they refuse, I will be forced to convince them." Your follower, being nice, adds "They will believe you. I know it".<br>You eventually reach a portal allowing you to go back to [[The Survivors' Enclave]] located next to a [[Resplendent Chest]].<br>Back to [[The Survivors' Enclave]], Kormac says "The grand maester. Behind the order's corruption. Deep down, I think I always knew. Perhaps that's why I never felt worthy of the order. As if I was not a true templar". On why you reply "They could not fool you forever. But now that you know the truth, what will you do?". Kormac concludes "I believe in you and your quest. This world must be saved, regardless of the corruption of the templar."<br>Isn't it great that someone believes in you?
