Commander Jarod Shadowsong
XP: 1,650
Rewards:
1 94

Objectives

Find the source of the corruption at Heroes' Rest and end it.

• Go to Heroes' Rest
• Fel Corrupted released (3)
•  Lorgos slain

Description

There was something wrong with those three, they had a fel taint about them that was... unsettling. I believe they were somehow woken later than the other risen. Curse the Legion and their meddling!

The reinforcements are streaming out of Black Rook Hold from Heroes' Rest. We must make our way there and see if we can stop the source of these new troops.

Rewards

You will receive:

• 1 94
• 1,650 XP

Progress

We must end this corruption.

Completion

The attacks on Bradensbrook should relent for now. We must still deal with Lord Erdris, and soon.

Notes

Jarod

We must end this corruption.

Enter Heroes' Rest

Lorgos the Resurrector says: Call out to your troops, "my lord". I will raise them, make them stronger!

Lord Erdris Thorn says: To me, my troops! I require your strength!

Lorgos the Resurrector says: Yes... arise... fight the "Legion"!

Commander Jarod Shadowsong says: These Rooksguard are newly risen, and may not have fallen fully into corruption. Perhaps they can yet be saved!

Interacting with a Corrupted Rooksguard

• Commander Jarod Shadowsong says: Only you can end this torment, brother. Fight it!
• Commander Jarod Shadowsong says: Return to the rest you earned long ago, brother!
• Commander Jarod Shadowsong says: Shrug off this corruption, my friend!

• Corrupted Rooksguard says: So... tired...
• Corrupted Rooksguard says: I will not be a tool of the Legion.
• Corrupted Rooksguard says: I... I am free. Thank you.

All released

Lord Erdris Thorn says: The demons attack my troops before they can recover!

Lorgos the Resurrector says: Fear not, my lord. I can raise more.

Commander Jarod Shadowsong says: That demon must be dealt with, <name>! Then we can focus on Erdris.

Lorgos slain

Lord Erdris Thorn says: Savor this victory while you can. I have studied your tactics... learned your weaknesses. Now I will raise my own army within Black Rook Hold!
