Description
When we settled here, that Hold was just a quiet creepy place that we avoided. Then the elves came back from the dead. With your help we thought it was mostly handled. But now it feels like an army is attacking us! We could use more healing at our defense lines. More undead arrive and we have less and less protectors each wave. Any aid to our wounded would be welcomed!
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Restoration: The Bradensbrook Investigation
We have uncovered forged orders from the Shore. They have a fel influence about them. They guide the reader to believe they are legitimate. It orders Black Rook Hold to attack a "demonic enclave" just south of their walls. There's only one enclave they could be talking about, Bradensbrook!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Quieting the Spirits
An overwhelming attack on Bradensbrook is imminent. Together I believe we can blunt the spear before it is cast. While we are dealing with the commanders, we should put down as many unquiet spirits as we can.
The storyline at a glance
The Black Rook Threat has 12 steps, from Holy: The Bradensbrook Investigation to A Gift From the Six.
