Objectives

Escort Revil Kost from Manor Mistmantle in Duskwood to Ariden's Camp in Deadwind Pass.

• Follow Revil to Ariden's Camp
• Reached Outside Ariden's Camp

Description

In my previous confrontation with your foe, I was able to see a glimpse into their past. Granted blessed vision by the Cloak of Purity, I saw the Dark Riders for who they once were. Come, we must go to Ariden's Camp in Deadwind Pass. I can explain its significance along the way.

Rewards

You will receive:

• 16 20
• 14,800 XP

Completion

It's strange that the Dark Riders haven't followed us here, but I will take whatever boon I can get.

I believe the key to finding the Dark Riders is here somewhere. Let us begin our search.

Notes

On accept, Revil runs out of Manor Mistmantle as two Dark Riders appear.

Revil Kost says: It seems you've been followed, druid! Dark Riders!

Dark Rider yells: None will be spared!

After defeating the riders, Revil mounts up on his horse.

Revil Kost says: The battle is won, but there will be more. Quickly, to Ariden's camp!

Revil Kost says: The Dark Riders were not always like this. They were once a group of traveling merchants.

Revil Kost says: Unfortunately they crossed the sorcerer Medivh, who cursed them to an eternity of hunting artifacts for him.

A Dark Rider emerges from the woods behind you and Revil.

Revil Kost yells: Look out behind you!

Dark Rider yells: We will take what is ours!

After defeating the rider:

Revil Kost says: Your skill in combat is impressive. We may yet survive this.

Revil Kost says: Ariden was the first of the Dark Riders, and I believe he leads them now.

Revil Kost says: His camp is still in Deadwind Pass, strangely untouched after all these years.

Revil Kost says: If my convictions are correct, the key to finding the Dark Riders, as well as the artifacts they still covet, can be found there.

Two more riders appear from the north.

Revil Kost yells: Riders on our flank! Be ready!

Dark Rider yells: The artifact calls to us!

After defeating the riders

Revil Kost says: Let us press on. We are nearly there.

Upon reaching the destination:

Revil Kost says: Here! The camp is in this clearing. Let us search it.

Lingering behind during the journey will cause Revil to yell one of several lines until you catch up.

• Revil Kost yells: Do you wish to be left behind? Hurry!
• Revil Kost yells: Quickly! We don't have time to linger!
• Revil Kost yells: Try to keep up, druid!

In case Revil despawns, return to Manor Mistmantle:  Let's head to Ariden's camp.
