With Urgat gone, the immediate danger fades with it, but it's only a matter of time before a replacement is sent or Urgat is reanimated. The war goes on.

Quest text[edit]

Step 1: Speak with Barak.

Barak: "Even without Urgat leading them, Player, the undead could still attack. In time, they will send a new leader to the island, so we must take advantage of this opportunity while we can. Now, let me ask you - have you seen the supply crates?"

Player: "Supply... crates?"

Barak: "Yes - there are a few scattered around town, mostly in lofts or storages. They can contain anything from spells to weapons. You see, a shipment of these was sent from town to the Lookout Camp a few weeks ago and it never arrived. The undead seized it and dragged its contents into their lands. Anything we can take from the undead will give us an edge in a counterattack."

Player: "Where can I find it?"

Barak: "It is likely deeper into the Deadlands, further than you went before. I believe the Invae were sighted dragging it north, on the riverbank opposite of Urgat's tower."

(To gather from these crates, you will need to use the Dragon Intuition ability or an Istarian Army Knife, provided to you.)


Step 2: Find the intercepted supply cart on the riverbank opposite of Urgat's tower.

Note you will need to do a 'discovery' step first before digging up these crates. If you loot a crate before this 'discovery' it will not count to your total and you will have to delete them.

Discovery occurs at the broken-down wagon. Get close to it and you will see:

You have found the cart! Beside it, a wraith lays still. At first glance it appears fine, but upon further inspection, it looks completely burned and radiates excess magic energy. Reality almost seems to flicker around it. This warrants closer inspection.


Step 3: Recover five (5) supplies from the stolen supply crates.

This step is easy as a dragon. Just right click and gather, or select and hit backspace, the default hotkey for gathering. Your character will automatically cast Intuition to recover the supplies.


Step 4: Investigate the Wraith.

The wraith is a little difficult to see, flat on the ground. It should be a tiny bit west of the majority of the crates. Walk upon it and you will see:

Even when looking closely at the dead creature, it seems to be out of focus. Upon a gentle touch, a piece of the robe breaks off, dancing in the air before vanishing. Barak would definitely want to know of this.


Step 5: Return to Barak with the supplies and news of the Wraith corpse.

Barak: "Ah! You're back, and you have the supplies! Thank you. I'm sure Bortol will appreciate these, especially with the breach. Now, what did you say about a wraith...?"

Player: "A dead wraith was by the wagon. It seemed burnt and was basically distorting reality."

Barak: "Distorting reality? Wraiths aren't mindless, but they surely don't contain that much power. Something inside those deadlands must have caused its injuries. I already feared your assassination might've not cut the head of the snake, but that snake may now be a viper. Allow me to call a council."
