All Fired Up

Official quest description: Over the years, the kingdoms of Asgarnia and Misthalin have become increasingly uncomfortable about the possibility of threats from the Wilderness and Morytania. King Roald has taken matters into his own hands and has commissioned a network of beacons to be built across the land, from the Temple of Paterdomus at the border of Morytania, along the northern borders of Misthalin and Asgarnia, and up along the western border of the Wilderness.

Introduction

Blaze Sharpeye's detailed explanation of the complicated technique used to light the braziers.

The beacon network
The locations of some of the beacons on the world map
Talk to King Roald located in the Varrock Palace. His majesty will tell you that he is making a system to warn Varrock of possible attacks from the Wilderness and Morytania using beacons.

Blaze and his beacon.
He will tell you to see Blaze Sharpeye who is located at the beacon near the River Salve, on Silvarea mountain.
The locations of the beacons are indicated by the Fired Up Beacon icon () on the minimap and world map. . Speak to Blaze Sharpeye, who will tell you about the beacon system. and he will have you test the beacons. You will require 20 logs (of any type) and a tinderbox. (They agreed that if it were a real emergency, Gnomish firelighters will be used in place of regular logs.)
Lighting the beacon
Use the logs on the beacon and then light it on fire with a tinderbox. With the flames ablaze, he will tell you to talk to Squire Fyre. She can be found near the limestone quarry, west of the Odd Old Man, the starting point of the Rag and Bone Man quest.
Another beacon
Squire Fyre will tell you to light another beacon near her, after seeing that the first beacon has been lit. This also requires 20 identical logs (of any type) and a tinderbox.
After lighting the beacon, go back to Blaze Sharpeye. Blaze Sharpeye will confirm that he sees the second beacon lit, and informs that the fire is dying in the first beacon.
Adding more firepower
Use five logs (of any kind) on the first beacon to rekindle the fire. Don't leave yet - talk to Blaze again. This satisfies Blaze, and he will tell you the beacon network test is successful, and tells you to inform King Roald.
Go back to Varrock Palace, and talk to King Roald for the reward.
Congratulations! Quest complete
