Quest Text

Bestowal Dialogue

'A wight's hand. All bone. That's the key.

'The five narrow holes are for finger-bones. Luckily there's a great many crypt-walkers in Sektakhâb in Khabârkhad. You need one in exceedingly good condition, nothing broken, so it may take several tries to find one.

'Find a suitable hand, take it to the door and find the whereabouts of this shadow. We need to put an end to the suffering of Umbari citizens at the hands of this villain.'
