Description
You have done well, {name}, but a shadow remains cast over the temple, in the form of the High Priest Jin'tal. A particularly fervent and ambitious priest in life, I am unsurprised that he has survived into undeath. I sense that he practices his abhorrent faith in the nearby Mortuary. Please, {name}. End him. I will help you if I can.
