Description
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. Others lose their minds completely, shambling about aimlessly. They often turn to violence, and must be destroyed. This is your task, {name}. Destroy them, our former brothers and sisters though they might be.
Where to go

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Shadow Grave
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.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Caretaker Caice
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.
