What to do
Description
The Annals of Darrowshire tells of the villains of that battle. It tells how the ghoul lord Horgus the Ravager was destroyed by Alliance forces during the battle. He was slain among the foothills north of here, and his skull remains there. Marduk the Black was never defeated, but his fabled sword now rusts, ownerless. It can be found near the road to our southeast. Retrieve these items, {name}. I know not why, but I am certain their fate lies with you.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Strange Historian
That sword belonged to Joseph Redpath, Pamela's father - though you probably already knew that. I wish Joseph could again be with his daughter, but it cannot be so. His soul was twisted by the Scourge, and he became a monster. Pamela's fate is sealed, but perhaps we can change Joseph's fate.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Heroes of Darrowshire
The heroes of Darrowshire held relics of their own, and inside of those relics lie more precious memories. First, speak with Carlin and obtain the Extended Annals of Darrowshire. Within the tome lies the narrative that will drive our excursion through time.
