Killing the Messenger

Killing the Messenger is a quest for level 60. It is step 8 of 14 in the Desire storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Revendreth at 58.8, 30.3. It rewards 10,200 experience and money.

Description

I make it my business to know what is going on within my district.

Traditionally we use stone fiends to relay messages, but my informants have alerted me to some suspicious communications going on within the Old Gate.

A venthyr has been hired to run missives between two undisclosed parties. When someone puts that much effort into concealing their identity, it can never be good.

Find this courier and recover whatever missives they might be carrying.

The Redelav Courier spawns at the doorway to the Iremoore Estate at /way 56.2 36.0
He then runs along the road heading dowhill and stays on the road until he delivers the
message to the Redelav Merchant at /way 59.5 33.9
at which point he despawns after a second.

It takes him 42 seconds to run from his start point to his end point.

Once he despawns, he will immediately respawn at his start location as long as you are in motion.
He will not spawn if you are not moving. You have to trigger him to spawn by moving around in the
marked quest area on your map. He is phased for you for this quest.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Meal and A DealLevel 60

    Even though you arrived here uninvited, you weren't unexpected. I know all that goes on within my district. As such, let us share a meal and speak of the matters at hand. I believe there's a way in which we can both get what we want.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • An Invitation to TreacheryLevel 60

    While the missive made it clear that Andrei is displeased with my position, nothing in the letter identifies his co-conspirator. All we really know is that they are trying to gain access to my soiree this evening so they can carry out their plans. Let's make it easy for them, shall we?
