The Wakening

The Wakening is a quest for level 1-10 in Deathknell. It is step 5 of 17 in the Deathknell storyline. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 1,050 experience and money.

Description

King, peasant, or <class>... I don't care WHAT you were before. I just need somebody with a working tongue.

Being raised from the dead is strenuous. Not everyone copes with it as well as you did. In particular, there are three newly-raised undead who are having trouble coping right now.

I want you to find them and talk to them. It might be that they just need someone that they can relate with.

You'll find them here in the graveyard.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Caretaker CaiceDeathknell · Level 1-10

    I am done with you. There are, however, others who can use your aid. Caretaker Caice, standing on that stump behind me, can probably give you another assignment. You should speak with him now.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Beyond the GravesDeathknell · Level 1-10

    Darnell tells me that the two of you have already met. That's good, because I'm sending you both into Deathknell. Your work is done here. Speak with Deathguard Saltain in Deathknell, to the north. He will tell you more of what you must know.
