I should've known something was wrong with the Alchemist. After we defeated Ordrak, our Ember Blight was cured ... bu the Alchemist just couldn't give up his experiments. The Destroyer and I ... we just pretended we didn't see the effect it was having on him.
We made a terrible mistake. I just hope it's not too late to correct it!

Speak to the Guardian of Water, in the Wellspring Temple.
The story so far...
You arrived at the Wellspring Temple to find it overrun with the bloodthirsty Sturmbeorn, and the Guardian of Water and the Vanquisher both captured by the fearsome General Grell. After a fierce battle, you defeated General Grell, and introduced yourself to the Vanquisher ... only to learn that the Alchemist was responsible for the attack on the Guardian, as well.
The Vanquisher, Commander Vale, advised you to speak to the Guardian of Water, to learn why the Alchemist had not only destroyed Torchlight, but why he had attacked the Guardian!

You have my gratitude, mortal. Now listen closely, for a great evil is at work here.
The Alchemist's search for a cure to his Ember Blight has driven him to the brink of madness. He siphoned off my energy to magnify the power of Ordrak's Heart, after he depleted it destroying Torchlight.
With the power of the Guardians, Ordrak's Heart could destroy all Ember everywhere. Perhaps he believes that might cure his affliction.
