Necromancer Consultancy is a quest in the Shroud of Souls storyline quest chain, part of The Cloaked Ascendancy Campaign.

Objective[]

Summary[]

Kavatos Stormeye
We need to find a way to enter the Shard of Night to stop Morlanth and the Netherese from raising an army of wraiths. If Morlanth has retreated to Evernight, we must follow her there.

What's Evernight? I know very little, only snippets gleaned from the lore of the Arcane Brotherhood. It exists in the Shadowfell, a Plane of Shadow that is a dark reflection of the Material Plane in which we live. Evernight is a twisted reflection of the city of Neverwinter, populated by the undead, shadowtouched, and mortals with unsavory predilictions.

The ways to reach Evernight are unknown to me. But there are those whose purpose is to seek out and destroy the undead. I speak of the followers of Kelemvor. Meet with Doomguide Soulhearth at the temple in Ebon Downs and ask his advice.

Steps[]

Dialogue[]

Doomguide Soulhearth
Greetings to you, <name>. Kavatos sent word of your arrival. I understand there is a matter of great importance for us to discuss.

What can a humble servant of Kelemvor do for such an esteemed adventurer?

  • (Tell him about Morlanth.)
Doomguide Soulhearth
A foul necromancer? Raising an army of wraiths? I had heard of the Shroud of Souls, but prayed the damnable thing was buried forever.

Alas, I cannot help you get to Evernight. Whenever anyone of our order finds such blasphemous knowledge we destroy it if we can.

But perhaps... no, such a creature cannot be trusted...

  • Neverwinter is on the verge of being taken over by an army of wraiths. What choice do we have?
Doomguide Soulhearth
Choice? There's always a choice to engage with evil. And the undead are always evil. But what you say is true. We cannot afford to let this undead horde grow in power.

There is something we keep in our vaults. An unholy abomination with vast knowledge of necromancy. We tried to destroy it but its vessel was too strong.

I offer you this source to aid you with one condition. You must take it with you and rid the world of this creature when its purpose is done. Swear you will do so!

  • It seems I have little choice. I swear I will rid the world of this abomination.
Doomguide Soulhearth
It is agreed then.

Be warned! This vexsome creature will try to manipulate you. And should its hunger arise, mortals will suffer!

Summon forth the phylactery from the vaults!

Completion[]

Zarifrax the Lich
WHO DARES AWAKEN THE GREAT LICH ZARIFRAX?

Oh, it's you. I think I recognize you. Then again, when you have existed as long as I have, all you adventurers begin to look alike.

I was resting rather peacefully in that Kelemvorite vault until now, listening to these boring priests prattling on about dragon cult uprisings and demons in the Underdark and such. What year is it anyway? I'm waiting for the 'Year of the Irate Badger' to come about.
