Where to find the Ash of War: Carian Sovereignty
You can find Carian Sovereignty in a cave in Scadu Altus. To reach it, fast travel to the Cathedral of Mantus Metyr Site of Grace.
From the Site of Grace, leave the cathedral and go east to find a lower portion of the cliffside that runs parallel to the upper area on which the cathedral sits. At the very end of this cliffside past numerous wolves is a small cave embedded in the wall.
When entering the tiny, dark cave, look up to see a teardrop scarab hanging above you. Use a ranged attack to knock it down and kill it to receive Ash of War: Carian Sovereignty.
