Description
I'm pleased to see that you're up and walking around, {name}. You've held up nicely, especially after being dead for so long! Others weren't as lucky. If you wouldn't mind, I need you to fetch my embalming fluid and some twine to stitch up these bodies. You'll find both in the Shadow Grave, the building just behind me. Here, Darnell will join you. He knows the way.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Fresh out of the Grave
<name>! Rise, <name>! Welcome back to the realm of the living. With the blessing and power of the Dark Lady, I have freed you from death's grip. You are no slave, <name>. You are free to follow whatever path you choose from here.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Those That Couldn't Be Saved
The val'kyr raise hundreds of corpses every day. Agatha raised you just a few moments ago. Not all are as lucky as you, however. Some maintain their free will, but live in constant fear and confusion. They usually run off into the woods, cowering at their own reflections.
