By The Trail Of Dead

Speak to Gadin Edson in Three Rivers. Investigate the area he points out and follow the trail of necromancers. - Speak to Gadin Edson - Investigate the Rumors of Necromancy - Speak with Eldor

"On my way here," Investigator Trenkle says, "I met a man in Three Rivers who seemed to hear a lot. He ran an inn there. Speak to Gadin Edson to find out what he knows." "I'll need time to deal with Reggie here, so, follow this as far as you can." - The Bloodaxe Bridge has almost nothing to do with this quest. The necromancers are Across the river, east of Gadin Edson. Eldor is in an encampment with the Kalem sisters off to the right of the road from Themwar's Shield to Tursh. I have also seen Eldor on the road to Renton Keep, so you may have to look around.

Quest Offering "On my way here," Investigator Trenkle says, "I met a man in Three Rivers who seemed to hear a lot. He ran an inn there. Speak to Gadin Edson to find out what he knows." "I'll need time to deal with Reggie here, so, follow this as far as you can." Gadin Edson "I understand you're a man who hears about anything that happens in these parts," you say. Gadin nods. "I hear much about what goes on, but not everything. Why?" "I'm looking into the undead problems in Tursh," you say, "which I'm sure you've heard about." "I have," he says, "But Tursh is pretty far north of here." "I understand that," you say, "but I have reason to believe what is happening there is associated with some people here. Have you heard about any undead issue here?" "There have been some, " he says, "but not many. Most people just go missing." "Have you heard any stories of the dead rising. Maybe, some that aren't immediately aggressive?" "I have heard some stories of that," he says. "The ones I heard usually have the zombies coming from a copse of trees to the northeast." "But," Gadin says, "I haven't heard any of these tales for a while now." "That's interesting," you say. "You said from the trees to the northeast?" "Yes, actually, directly northeast of here," he says, "though I never heard about them crossing the streams at all." "Thank you," you say. Necromancer "Can I help you?" <Necromancer> asks. "I don't know," you say. "An associate sent me down here. I'm looking for some folks." "Who sent you down here?" <Necromancer> asks. "A friend of mine, Reggie Thornapple," you say. "He said I would find some more friends here, outside Three Rivers." <Necromancer> looks at the others in the circle smiling. "Then I think you've come to the right place." You smile, showing relief. "I'm glad," you say. "I work with Reggie in Tursh and I thought he was just lying to me." "What are you doing down here in Three Rivers?" <Necromancer> asks. "I was here to make a delivery," you say. "I thought I'd see how the rest of our group was doing. I don't get much news from Reggie." "He always was a little paranoid and tight-lipped," <Necromancer> says. "That he was," you say. "He didn't tell me anything about what was going on out here. Only that I should be wary for some reason." "Oh yes," <Necromancer> says. "He was probably talking about Eldor. Look out for him. We had to oust him out of the circle a while back and he's been aggressive to anybody still in since." "Eldor?" you say. "That name does sound somewhat familiar. Thanks, now I know who to look out for." "Be careful," <Necromancer> says, smiling. "We've got to get back to our ritual. We already have enough, or I'd invite you to help." "Oh that's alright," you say. "I have to get back to Tursh soon anyway, so I need to catch some rest." Eldor "Eldor," you say, "I understand you've got quite the list of enemies these days." "Who are you to speak to one of my stature?" Eldor says, turning up his nose. "I'm here to talk about a falling out," you say. "No one dislikes Eldor," he says. "I am one of the most powerful wizards in Thestra." "I see," you say, "Is that why the necromancer's circle kicked you out?" "They did not kick me out," he says. "We had a disagreement about the direction of the circle, and so I left. Who are you to question me about that though?" "I'm here on some business," you say. "Nothing too important. So you had a disagreement, eh?" "Yes, they were expanding too rapidly in my opinion. They tried to send me to the odorous abode of Lord Renton." "And you did not want to go to Renton Keep," you say. "It is a disgusting place, full of disgusting humans," he says. "Particularly a man named Lars Orson." "What's wrong with Lars Orson?" you ask. "He knows entirely too much about everything," he says. "He deigns to snoop into my great business. Me, Eldor." "I can see how that would be disconcerting," you say. "Thank you, oh great one." Quest Completion "You come to Lars, everyone comes to Lars," he says. "Yet nobody listens. Nobody listens to Lars." "What you are researching is much deeper than you think, " Lars says. "There is a man here, now, on similar business, but he hails all the way from Halgarad." "If you want more information I can point you inthe right direction. I don't like what I'm hearing from the four corners, and I wouldn't mind if something were done."
