This is it. The Drowned Archon has shown himself in his throne court, the high court above Blackmire's inner gate where his magi chanted. Every thrall on those walls, every wailing spirit and every chanting magus answered to him. Climb up to that court and end him. When he falls, the tether falls with him, and Blackmire becomes just another ruin. I'd come with you, but someone has to hold the castle if you fail. So don't fail.
On Completion
The whole swamp went quiet when he fell. Did you feel it? Even the frogs stopped singing for a full minute. Blackmire is a ruin again, and ruins I can deal with. You’ve finished what we started the day I sent you to scout those ruins, and then some. When they write the history of this place, and Aradia will make sure somebody does, your name will be in it.
