Barrdin Family Urn
Eldritch Sextant

does anyone have any idea what these quest items are for? Or should I put them in the waste basket?

The first three are related to quests that are functional. Off the top of my head I couldn't tell you what they are, but it should be listed in the quest log. If you have to take an item to a specific person that will be listed in the quest.
The last two I haven't found any use for, although I did hear a rumor that the quest for one of them was broken.

Yes, the first three are for quests received in the Ascalon area. The last two no one is sure about, but it's rumored they may be used for something in the Underworld. When I did enter the Underworld, Gwen's mother is there. Unfortunately I didn't have the items on me at the time to find out if it triggered anything. But I do intend to find out, as I've been holding onto these for awhile now.

The last 2 are still a mystery. According to rumor Arenanet is working on a quest to associate with these and a couple of other items. No idea when the quest will be implemented.

You get the tapestry shred from Gwen in pre-searing (the anoying girl who tries to follow you). If you but the red cape from a merchant for 0 gold and give it to her and then give her those red flowers that are around pre-searing she will eventually say something like "Your my best friend" and give u the shred.

I can't believe none of you know what the broken flute and tapestry shred are for or where they come from. One of the first quests you do when you leave Ascelon City for the first time is talking to Gwen. She asks about her broken flute that is down by the river. Go pick it up (which, btw, there is only ONE broken flute in pre-searing...not any more)! She will tell you something about wanting a new one. Go to any merchant and buy her a new one. I have never paid more than 4 gold for it. Give that to Gwen. Also buy her a cape for around 200 gold and give that to her. Then, keep giving her the Red Iris flowers you find everywhere. Anywhere between 3 and 5 flowers she will give you a tapestry shred. When you build a guild, that shred should be used to make a guild cape. Hope this helps all!

I can help you there. First of all, you didn't find that outside Grendich Courthouse, you found it in a pile of wreckage in the very first mission, The Great Northern Wall. Second of all, it is a part of the bonus for that mission, to find all of Kinn Testribe's armour and bring it back. Third of all.....uhhhhhh.....hmmmm....thats all.

At first in pre-searing Gwen does not ask for a broken flute. It's broke the way you find it. Just a little up east at the other side of the river.
2nd: You don't need to buy anything for her. Not the flute, not the cape.
If you give enough flowers (Red Iris Flower) she's already happy.
In a while she just happen to have the flute and cape anyway.
When you give her enough flowers, she give you the Tapestry.
Later on Post-Searing you can find her broken flute again near Sardelac Senetarium. Her Girls Cape can be found near Sanctum Cay, somewhere along the beach.

I think i know what the Gwen Quest may be, but I'm not sure, this is an educated guess. The quest will start and end in the Underworld, by speaking to Gwen's mother. for some reason, she'll want a way to remember her daughter, who has no means of accessing the UW. You will need to find the tattered cape and Gwen's broken flute, and return them to Gwen's mother. Just a guess, but hey, it COULD happen right?

It's taken nearly a year, but we have finally discovered what the Tapestry Shred is for! It's part of an incredibly well-hidden quest which provides access to a totally new area of the game called the Netherworld. However, unless you have the correct items in your possession, you'll never find it or be able to activate it, which probably explains why it has taken so long to figure it out. Someone who recognized my ID in-game whispered me with some of the key details, and then I enlisted several friends and guildmates to help get the necessary items and verify it. To my knowledge, this is the very first official report of it, so Guild Wars OGaming is definitely getting a major scoop with this article. Before setting out, make sure you've read this entire guide in its entirety, especially all of the necessary items. If you don't, you'll likely wind up wasting a trip.
Getting Started
To initiate the first part of the quest, you will need to bring these three items:
* Tapestry Shred (from Gwen in pre-searing)
* Gwen's Broken Flute (found near Sardelac Sanitarium)
* Tattered Girl's Cape (found north of Sanctum Cay)
Next, your country must NOT have favor. If it does, you can't properly start this quest.
If you don't have favor, begin by travelling to Majesty's Rest (see map). Fight your way past the undead until you are close to the boss, Rotscale. Keep an eye out for roving patrols of undead, and beware of groups of Grasping Ghouls hiding just below the surface. Before fighting Rotscale and the 4 nearby bone dragons, every player (besides henchmen) MUST equip the Broken Flute in their off-hand. If you don't do this, the first part of the quest will not activate and you'll have to start over. Once you and your teammates have equipped broken flutes, engage and kill Rotscale and the bone dragons. Then move up near the doorway.
Wait for Favor
The next part may take a while. You must now wait until your country regains favor. However, you can't just sit there doing nothing. There appears to be some code that checks roughly every 60 seconds and cancels the quest trigger if your characters are not active. Luckily, there's an easy way around this - use a repeating emote like /dance. Depending on how quickly your country regains favor, this may take quite a while. In the meantime, open your inventory window, keep dancing and wait.
Summoning Gwen - Timing is key
The moment your country regains favor, you need to act very quickly. All players must drop their Tapestry Shred & Tattered Girls Cape on the ground near the doorway immediately after gaining favor. If you do it quickly enough, those items will vanish and you will see the Spirit of Gwen rise from the ground at that location. If that doesn't happen, it means someone was too slow, and unfortunately, you'll have to repeat everything from the very beginning after your country has once again lost favor. It may take you several tries before you figure out the proper timing. Bringing more henchmen can help reduce the human error factor.
Memories of Gwen
Once you've summoned the Spirit of Gwen, click on her to activate her quest "Memories of Gwen" and then she will begin speaking a series of 10 lines:
"That night Ascalon was destroyed, Aiden found me, and healed me with aloe roots."
"Many charr were coming. Aiden sounded his new horn to alert the nearby soldiers."
"I fled toward the gates, dropping all of my red flowers."
"Suddenly I was struck down by something hard, made of iron"
"As my spirit floated away, I envisioned a book with the tales of Unseen Gods."
"Within the book was a prophecy about a girl with a flute."
"It was an ancient tale copied from a long lost tablet of Orr."
"When I was younger, I thought they meant Ore."
"But now my mind's eye sees clearly."
"I am the one foretold, the vengeful girl in the cape."
Each of Gwen's lines corresponds to a specific item you need to have in your inventory. Furthermore, these 10 items must reside in that specific order in one of your two 10-slot bags. Obtaining these items will probably require enlisting the help of lower-level characters that have not completed the related quests or still have access to these items. To obtain some of these quest items, you must activate various quests, but then not fully complete them. These are the 10 items you need in the specific the order they must be in your bag (row 1, row 2):
* Aloe Root (from Unnatural Growths quest in Pre-Searing)
* Purified Hunter's Horn (from the Hunter's Horn quest in Pre-Searing)
* Red Iris Flower (found randomly in Pre-Searing)
* Iron Ingot (common crafting material)
* Litanies of the Unseen (from The False Gods quest in Temple of the Ages)
* Flute (purchased in Pre-searing)
* Orrian Tablet Shard (from the Orrian Expedition quest given by Magi Malaquire n Lion's Arch)
* Ore Ingot (from Gathering Resources quest in Sorrow's Furnace)
* Lilac Eye (from the Eye for Profit quest in Druid's Overlook)
* Small Girls Cape (purchased in pre-searing)
Unless you have those 10 items in the correct order in your bag, Gwen will continue to repeat her lines. Every player in the party must have the items in the proper order. Once every player has the items in the correct order, you'll now see a new green exclamation. Talking to the Spirit of Gwen will complete the quest which then activates the secret portal where the door normally is. The portal leads to a hidden area called the Netherworld.
The Netherworld
Once you've gone thru the portal, you're in for a major treat. The Netherworld is huge explore area which somewhat resembles the Underworld, The Catacombs or Ring of Fire at various points. The area appears to be populated by the ghosts of every single boss in the game except for Glint, the Undead Prince, or any of the newer bosses like GF/SF Dwarves, Darknesses or The Queen. All the undead bosses keep their original name, but all other bosses get renamed to "Ghost of XXXX" or "Spirit of XXXX". Their stats seem otherwise unchanged. Fighting in the Netherworld is extremely challenging due to the shear density of the foes. However, the drops are totally amazing. Every enemy you kill will drop either a gold item, ectoplasm, vial of black dye or a gold pile worth about 5000 gold!
The Spirit of Gwen is also here and will aid you as an NPC. She wears her cloak and has her flute, and she has some incredibly powerful fire spells. One of these is a special fire spell called "Wrath of Gwen". It deals massive AoE fire damage, and causes crippling and a few seconds of burning. Best of all, it does not trigger the AoE scattering effect on the enemy AI. In other words, it's the ultimate fire skill.
There are well over 100 bosses total, but you can plow thru most of the lower level ones fairly quickly. The areas with the higher level Mursaat and Jade bosses are pretty tough, as are the ones with the Titan bosses. The final area has a nasty battle against The Lich, Rotscale and several other undead bosses. Killing the last set of monsters triggers a cutscene that shows Gwen taking great glee in polishing off The Lich. She says, "That was fun. Let's do it again!" You are immediately transported back to the area where you summoned the Spirit of Gwen. As long as you have favor, you can immediately re-enter the portal to do it over and over.
With Gwen's help, it only takes about 45 minutes to totally clear this new area. From a typical Netherworld trip, each player will typically get about 5-7 gold items, 5-7 ectos, 5-7 black dye and about 30K gold. After a few trips, your bags will be filled. Eventually, you'll either lose favor or decide you just have to make a trip back to town to unload the amazing loot you've found.
If you are having any trouble reaching Netherworld, I would strongly advise you to doublecheck that every party member has the 10 necessary items in their bag in the correct order as listed above. I can't emphasize enough how extremely important that order really is!
