Description

The others here share my suspicion. Morbent Fel lives on in undeath...and may be even more powerful than before. A necromancer was struck down, but a lich may have risen in his place. And now he continues to ruin this land. I remember Duskwood before all this, {name}. I remember bright skies and peaceful woods. This can't stand! Morbent Fel must be stopped for good. Speak to Sister Elsington. Her vision might guide you to where Morbent Fel is, and how he can be defeated.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Fate of Morbent FelDuskwood · Level 10-30

    Before I was lost to the woods, the last thing I remember is Morbent Fel. He was a vile necromancer, and the reason this land swarms with so many vile undead. I asked an adventurer to help me put an end to him. I thought they did!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Guided by the LightDuskwood · Level 10-30

    Sven is correct. I can feel the presence of a powerful evil deep beneath the Raven Hill Cemetery. Evil lurks in its catacombs, and Morbent Fel must be the source. You will need the power of the Light to strike him down, <name>.
