If Svergan is there already, the quest will not complete. You must wait for him to despawn to throw his belongings in the pyre.

It can take up to 6 minutes for him to despawn.

You can group with other warriors to complete it together.

This quest was bugged for me the first time I tried it. Maybe someone else was doing it but there was already a ghost kneeling in front of the brazier.

When I came back a second time the brazier was empty, I used the quest item and the ghost showed up and the quest went smoothly.

Description

The Bonespeaker mystics used these heirlooms to tie my soul to this world. Under their curse, my soul could not enter the Halls of Valor. Find the soul pyre in Haustvald and throw my belongings into the flames. The fire that bound my soul through their foul magic will be the same fire that undoes this bond!

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.

  • Stolen HonorLevel 10-45

    Safeguarding the Gjallarhorn was my duty, <race>. I will do what is right, but first I must ask for your aid. My family was disavowed by the mystics of our time and this grave was ransacked. I cannot find peace while my family heirlooms are in the hands of the servants of the false God-King.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Svergan's PromiseLevel 10-45

    I thank you for doing this for me. I swore an oath to protect the Gjallarhorn with my life, and so I did. You must tell Hymdall that his Gjallarhorn was devoured by the great worm, Jorhuttam! It devoured an entire army of my men who were swallowed whole trying to fend off the beast.
