List of Contents

To properly unlock this quest, players must first obtain an Invitation to the wedding of Pavlina, the Grand Duchess of the Snegurochka.
There are two possible locations where the Invitation letter can be found in Snezhnaya, and it depends on where you manage to find it.

The first location is found in Svetloledovka Station. Go inside the office west from the train station itself, and look for an envelope on one of the seats in the waiting area.

If you manage to miss the invitation in Svetloledovka Station, go straight to Fellfrost Peak instead. Paimon will find the invitation in the nearby vicinity, automatically unlocking the quest.

Chapter VII Act 1 Great Deeds on the Tundra |
To be able to get the invtiation, players need to reach a point during the Archon Quest Chapter VII Act 1: Great Deeds on the Tundra where the Traveler and Paimon reaches Snezhnograd after they find a place to stay. This is where players can now begin to roam around Snehznaya without barriers.
Once there, players can call for the Train in the Central Station using the Eye of Graeae, then head to Svetloledovka as the nearest town location to begin finding the invitation.

Hesperides of Love and Hate is located at Fellfrost Peak, in the nation of Snezhnaya. The World Quest chain triggers as soon as you reach the area of the Statue of the Seven located there.
Snezhnaya Interactive Map Guide

The invitation you found either in Fellfrost Peak or Svetloledovka Station is from from the Grand Duchess of the Snegurochka, Pavlina, to attend a wedding.
It is taking place at the House of Hesperides, which is found higher up on the mountains southeast from the Statue of the Seven.

To get up the mountain faster, go inside a cave found to the south of the Statue of the Seven. There is a World Quest here called For an Ice Mirror Fragment that ends with the Traveler at a higher location that is closer to the House of Hesperides.
