Walkthrough & Notes

You will need to defeat numerous Dead in the area around the big tent with two Fell-trolls in front. There are at least 3 nearby groups of mobs that include Ruthless Dead: Barricade southeast of the big tent: 1 Umbarrim Warrior, 1 Ruthless Bowman, 1 Ruthless Oathbreaker South of the big tent: 1 Umbarrim Sorcerer, 1 Corsair Lookout, 1 Ruthless Bowman, 1 Ruthless Warrior Northwest of the big tent: 1 Umbarrim Sorcerer, 1 Umbarrim Warrior, 2 Ruthless Oathbreakers, 1 Vicious War-hound After defeating many Dead, Nerzus will spawn between the aforementioned trolls. He is a Nemesis with 385,938 morale and 24,521 power. You can pull Nerzus into the big tent and ignore the Fell-trolls. Five Ruthless Oathbreakers (Elites with 104,203 morale and 7,356 power each) will join partway through the fight. Alternatively, have your tank pull one of the trolls at the entrance (Nerzus will come as well) to behind the tent, where the rest of the group is waiting. The five adds will spawn at the tent entrance and not aggro if everyone stays behind the tent.

Quest Text

Bestowal Dialogue 'Throughout my life, little has instilled more fear in me than the Dead Men. 'Even the Corsairs still bristle at their approach, fearful of what these new allies mean to their cause. The Dead are led by a ghastly man, and though I do not know his name, he looks long upon all he sees here with a discerning eye. Could it be that he and his people once again have doubts about throwing their lot in with the Enemy? 'If he reveals himself, confront him and let the others look upon him as you defeat him. Although he shall only be gone from this world a short while, perhaps it will drive the Dead to abandon their oaths once more. Let us hope so, <name>... for little else would grant me peace in death.' Background A grim leader of the Dead has revealed himself in Tarlang's Crown, pledging those who follow him to service of the Heirs of Castamir. Objective 1 Draw forth and defeat the leader of the Dead in Tarlang's Crown The leader of the Dead can be drawn forth by defeating many of the Dead in the main encampment in Tarlang's Crown. Gondren has asked you to seek out the leader of the Dead in Tarlang's Crown, hoping that it will weaken the alliance between the Dead and the Heirs of Castamir. Nerzus says, "Who dares challenge the Dead?" Nerzus says, "Not YOU again! You shall suffer my fear yet, <race>!" Nerzus says, "There is only death for you here, <name>." Nerzus says, "You shall never purge the Dead from these lands..." Nerzus has been defeated once more! Objective 2 Talk to Harnion Harnion can be found along the road through Tarlang's Crown, to the north of Edhellond in Belfalas. You have defeated the oathbreaker, Nerzus, for a third time and weakened Azruthor's hold on Tarlang's Crown. You should now return to Harnion. Harnion: 'You say you have seen this oathbreaker before? 'His persistence is... unfortunate. If only the Dead could be made to see the foolishness of this alliance... perhaps then they would abandon the Scourge and the Heirs. 'Regrettably, I fear we will have to contend with them until then.'
