This challenge is located on the northeastern edge of Eveningstar, south of the foot of the large bridge

Spoiler Warning: Spoiler material below this point!

Note: You must complete the first star objective to receive experience & rewards from this Challenge.

The parts to the Ballistas are down the different paths and around the ruined keep. They are randomly placed on a fixed set of locations, and will NOT show up until you fully start the challenge and at least 4 minutes have passed; you will get a message suggesting to repair the ballistae at the time the parts start appearing. It takes 4 parts per ballista, so 8 total to get the optional star reward.
If one of the Purple Knights falls, the shield around Arganon will fall and all enemies will immediately aggro on him.
You can heal the two purple knights, but they are such bags of HP that it might be more efficient to let them fall, and defend Arganon.
- After a few moments, the Purple Knights will get up again, fully healed, and return to the fight.
You can also heal Arganon, but he is also a bag of HP.
It seems that the Knights and Arganon have reduced benefit from healing. The knights will get about 4 points for every 25 and Arganon will get about 1 point for every 25.
When the Spell Ward is completed, all enemies will start with high aggro on it. Any current enemies will immediately aggro on it.
Claive the Carver is a high CR enemy. You will get a warning when you approach that it is a tough fight. (on level 15, he has 7000+ hp with one player and one hire)
Occasionally, this challenge will not complete when the timer finishes. Relogging will complete the challenge and grant experience.

Fixed: 10 minutes
The timer for this challenges only starts when you talk to Arganon, allowing you to properly buff everyone without any rush.
If you fail to protect the spell ward, the challenge will finish immediately.
