Description
The visions of Nek'zali led us here. That we found where she took her last breath is no coincidence. There must be something within this crypt that the goddess wishes for us to see. Zul'jarra bid us to find the truth of Ula'tek. Perhaps here we will find the answers we seek. Let us see where the story we were told in the Den of Echoes ends, and where the truth begins.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Echoed Steps
Sometimes the goddess' visions are not easy to understand at first, but in time she reveals her intentions. I will keep the Children of Ula'tek out of your path as you follow her memories. Trust that she will reveal what we need to learn.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Lurking in the Dark
Those who built this crypt would not have sealed it without good reason. A great evil from the past must dwell here. We should put to rest any spirits and undead we find. They cannot keep us from the answers we seek.
