You might have already seen the room where Daegarn is being held while you were gatherin' the tablets. It's through this corridor and then down a set of steps. Daegarn will be in the room at the bottom of the steps - locked up tight!

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Depths of DepravityHowling Fjord · Level 10-30

    They're keepin' Daegarn locked up in a cage at the large fightin' ring nearby. From what I've gathered, the Dragonflayers bring out their prisoners to battle against their most powerful gladiators. They dump the losers in the basement where Scourge necromancers turn 'em into ghoulies!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Stunning Defeat at the RingHowling Fjord · Level 10-30

    Oluf will come out if you defeat the other gladiators. That's 'bout the only way we're getting' that cipher back. Put on your whompin' boots and get busy in the Ring of Judgment. If you do manage to get the cipher back, return it to Glorenfeld o'er near the entrance to these catacombs. Me?
