Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Written in Stone
<You bundle the notes and store them away in your pack. According to his final journal entry, Kel'danath used something called a "spellstone" in his experiments. The spellstone, if not the arcanist himself, must be nearby.>
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Kel'danath's Legacy
Kel'danath discovered something incredible - the power to subdue and even control the withered. I will pick up where my old friend left off. We shall see to it that he did not die in vain. Perhaps in the end we can even find peace for the wretches who have been left to a fate worse than death.
