11 The Itzeltek Priest's Story is a side quest in Windrose that develops the lore of the Itzeltek priesthood, a pre-pirate spiritual order whose ruins are found across the Cursed Swamps. The quest is a companion lore thread to the main-story encounter against the High Priestess, the biome boss whose origin is tied to the Itzeltek corruption.

88 The Itzeltek lore thread frames the Cursed Swamps as the ancestral territory of a priesthood whose rituals slid toward plague and corruption before the pirate era began. This priesthood is closely tied to the Senkamati culture, whose ruins, shrines, ritual circles, and the Trial Circle Ruins dot the swamp. Their written records survive as Clay Tablets recovered in the wetlands, and the broader cult left its mark across multiple biomes, including the Stargazer Tower. The Priest's Story expands on individual priests and specific rituals through journal entries and environmental notes, complementing The Priestess's Tale rather than repeating it.

1717 The quest trigger is an Itzeltek shrine or lore note encountered during Cursed Swamps exploration. Most players pick it up on the natural route toward the High Priestess arena. The quest runs in parallel with the High Priestess approach rather than being a direct boss-gate quest.

2121 Stage-by-stage objectives for this quest are tracked in the in-game quest log rather than fixed here, because the lore notes are read in the order you find them in the swamp. Track the quest from the pause menu to surface the active waypoint, and read each Senkamati tablet or shrine you pass to advance the thread. Because it is a lore quest rather than a boss gate, you can complete it at your own pace alongside other Cursed Swamps objectives.
