Your recovery of artifacts from Forest Skulk villages that are clearly of human origin and likely looted from ancient tombs on the Dalimond Peninsula concerns Governor Micklin Vandus greatly. And so he has decided that something must be done to resolve the situation.

Quest text[edit]

Micklin tells you, <player>, your leadership and aid in uncovering the threat of the Forest Skulk is truly inspiring. And the entire Confederation is in your debt. The artifacts you recovered were clearly of human origin and were plundered from ancient tombs dug into the hills by human hands long ago. Their desecration cannot stand! I need you, Ranger, to go speak with the Paladin, Geriad Batel who has agreed to work to remove the undead presence from our most treasured burial sites. You can find Paladin Batel here in Dalimond.


Geriad tells you, Ranger, so good of you to volunteer for this service. It is our duty to the Confederation, the Empire, and even to Istara herself to dedicate ourselves to the eradication of the undead scourge from this land! You and I have been chosen to lead this crusade and we shall put all of our efforts into its execution! *he smashes his fist against his breast in salute*

Geriad tells you, Now, there is much we must do to prepare for our glorious quest. First, we must secure the assistance of the local militia. For that, you should speak with Leftenant Hanlon here in Dalimond. And secondly, we must acquire a map and locations of each of the tombs we are to investigate. For that, you must speak with Leah Attanbar, the local scholar and cartographer, regarding the map.


Tomas tells you, Greetings, Private. I have been informed by Governor Vandus that you have been assigned to eradicate the undead presence in the ancient tombs on the peninsula. And that you will be serving under Paladin Batel. Is this true? Yes? Well, you could not do better. Of that I can assure you! Geriad Batel is boastful and a zealot, but his heart serves the Confederation and the Empire and he is no fool. He will do you good! The militia is at your disposal, <player>, should you have need of us. Take this letter to Paladin Batel as proof.

You have received 1 Letter for Paladin Geriad Batel.


Leah tells you, Blessings of Istara on you, <player>. What brings you to my door this fine day? An important mission for the Confederation? Indeed! *she claps her hands* Well, who am I to stand in the way of the needs of the State. Let me see. You need a map, do you? I believe I have one. Yes, here it is. *she pushes a pile of papers and books aside and draws out a large folded piece of vellum*

Leah tells you, This map should work well. But I believe you needed to know the locations of the tombs where some of the ancient kings are buried, is that not so? Unfortunately they are not all well documented so we may need to do some research first.

You have received 1 Map of the Dalimond Peninsula.
