The Secrets of Suramgamin is a quest in Pathfinder: Kingmaker.

Journal[ | ]

Our lands were visited by some odd guests – monks of the mysterious Suramgamin order, who preach fighting evil through complete forbearance from violence. They wish to help us, but first they must be sure that our {king/queen} is deserving of their aid. Each of the order's masters has prepared a test for {him/her} – and I bet they won't be easy! I hope the reward is worth the trouble!
Pass the trial of Kamala the Phoenix +5760xp Obj_01_TrialPhoenix (b58c5ef7513c6934a8b6c8588e7ad17c)
Kamala the Phoenix is casting a spell to open a portal into the First World, and return a couple of fairies to their homeland. Meanwhile, we're supposed to persuade them peacefully, without violence or threats, to sit calmly for a while... Fairies? Sit calmly? Has that ever been known to happen?
  • Persuade the fey to wait for the portal to open

The next trial will be held by Visaka the Unicorn. He's waiting for us near the Temple of the Elk.
Pass the trial of Puja the Wolf +8640xp Obj_03_TrialWolf (cda9c24672dd2f340a0e65b6c456bdcb)
How many of these trials are there? Well, the next one will be held by Puja the Wolf. For some reason, he decided that the best place to meet would be the summit of Talon Peak.
  • Find Puja on Talon Peak
    Addendum_3-1 (885e5f5e63c24564b8f506aa05d7c8eb)
  • Hurry to the Castle of Knives as quickly as possible

Finally, the final trial! It will be held by Vidya the Lion near the Castle of Knives.
  • Before passing the trial, it would be wise to consult any relevant books you've discovered, and learn all you can about the Suramgamin order.

Hear the judgment of the Suramgamin +28800xp Obj_05_Verdict (fc38883e5678f084c8e3640b6ca9e499)
At last, all the trials are finished! The masters of the order have gathered somewhere near the Castle of Knives to discuss the results. After all these challenges, it would be terribly vexing to learn it was all in vain!

Refuse to do the trials
That's it – the trials are over, and the monks have left. These trials were such a royal pain! I swear, if anyone ever asks me to pass another trial – even for Evershining Sarenrae herself – well, I'll just smack them with my lute!
