Tip for higher level player who want to complete this quest:

1. slay Morbidius [npc=45619]. He is in front of the entrance of the tombs, at 16.4 38.9. He is elite but as a higher level player you should have him down easily, ofcourse.
2. enter the tombs and spam some AoE spells until you have killed 20 ghouls.

There are many ghouls close to each other down there. You won't need to fly all around the place and keep mounting, dismounting, running from mob to mob. As a level 85 priest using holy nova, I had the quest completed in 15 seconds :)

Description

Can you hear them, {name}? There's so many of them. They wander their graves, shuffling across the cold ground on rotting limbs. The dead cry out in the still air. They suffer in their own flesh, forced from sleep! Every night I venture to the graveyard to put more of them to rest, but it's never enough. Help me, {name}. Put the ghouls that swarm Raven Hill Cemetery out of their misery. Strike down as many as you can.
