Description

It was a miracle that you were able to survive, <name>. It is with great sorrow that I have to say that Grand Master Hight was not so lucky. His spirit now rests with the ancestors.

Now we must look to a new leader for our order, our broken temple. I have spoken with the other masters and we are all of one mind on this.

We all agree that new leader should be you, <name>. You have shown strength, wisdom, courage, and kindness beyond measure.

Walk with us to the temple and we will announce our decision.

If like me, something comes up and you have to log out after accepting this quest, but before completing it, when you come back all the characters you need to talk too to complete it will be gone. Just abandon the quest and the quest giver will appear again at the top of the stairs.
