Descent into Shadow is a quest in the Shroud of Souls storyline quest chain, part of The Cloaked Ascendancy Campaign. To start this quest use [Zarifrax's Phylactery].
Objective[]
- Retrieve [Zarifrax's Coffer] from his hidden cache in the Neverdeath Graveyard. Then set the Necromantic Lure to open the portal to Evernight. Enter the portal and acquire the Key of Night.
WARNING: This quest is currently bugged. If you attempt to retrieve the coffer from the crypt in Neverdeath graveyard and your first bag in you inventory is full, the coffer will go into your overflow bag (even if you have space in other bags). After it goes there, you will be unable to "transfer" it, or move it manually. And the game will consider your inventory full (again, even if you have space in other bags). You won't be able to pick up items, empty your professions box, move items from bank ect... MAKE SURE you have at least ONE empty slot in your FIRST bag (should be Adventurer's Satchel in order to successfully pick up the coffer without issue.
Summary[]
The final piece is something I can provide for you myself. Long ago I hid a coffer within the Neverdeath graveyard. We'll need it to enter the city of Evernight.
Once you retrieve the coffer, I will guide you to one of the Crevices of Dusk. There you will place the Necromantic Lure and open a Shadowfell portal to Evernight. Once we arrive, give the coffer to Gatekeeper Arkwright.
Do not tarry, for what we desire is close at hand!

Dialogue[]
- Arkwright? Zarifrax asked me to give this coffer to you...
- I seek entry to the Shard of Night.
Still... you may find the answers you seek amongst these unhallowed streets.
Very well, mortal. You may enter Evernight, but you must speak with the Tribunal to gain their protection. I will be there to present your petition when you are ready.
- The Tribunal sent me. They say you can help me get into the Shard of Night.
No matter. It is a fortress. If you were to assail it from the Shadowfell, you would die, your soul ripped from your body and consumed by spirits of the dead.
However, there may be another way. If you were to gain the essence of a powerful Netherese and bring it to me, I can create a Key of Night, allowing you to access the stronghold from the Prime Material Plane.
- What do I have to do?
Do not worry about the morals of your action. Kaross murdered many Neverwintans who were close to discovering the existence of the Shard of Night. You'd be bringing them justice.
- Kaross is dead. Do you have what you need to make a Key of Night?
Be warned: by attacking a citizen of Evernight you have broken your pact with the Tribunal. You are no longer safe here.
I guess I should have mentioned that sooner.

We've been doing our best to keep the wraiths at bay, but we need to strike at the source.
