What to do
Description
The dead ones are at Gjalerbron and they have necromancers with them? We must eliminate the leader of these necrolords. Do whatever it takes, {name}, but see to it that Necro Overlord Mezhen, and whatever he's attempting to accomplish, is neutralized. We cannot afford to see the vrykul successful in whatever they are doing with these undead creatures! Look for Mezhen on the platform in the rear right section of Gjalerbron.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Of Keys and Cages
From the little we know, the vrykul are conducting unnatural rites in an 'awakening' ritual to the west in Gjalerbron. They're using living sacrifices to fuel their rituals. <name>, you must stop this. It matters not who or what is in those cages, they must be freed.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Walking Dead
Your assistance to us has been tremendous, <name>, but there is something that is troubling me: these so-called Scourge. The spirits of the land and air, the waters and the fire below the world, would not abide their presence, but seem to do nothing about them.
