As you arrived in Bastion you met Kleia, who helped you make contact with the ascended Kalisthene. In order to gain an audience with the Archon, you were instructed to follow the path of the kyrian as if you were an aspirant.

You entered Elysian Hold, home of the ascended, and finally met with the Archon. She asked you to inspect the wards protecting Bastion's five temples.
