For the Sake of the Forsaken
Denrik Serbold says ‘So you have forded the river of death and found yourself once again in the audience of the Ungod. Well, at least what became of him. The millennia have muddled the mind of our prophet and we are now left with the wild-eyed shell that now stands at the end of the world. Still, there is [hope].’
You say, ‘Hope?’
Denrik Serbold says ‘The enormity of all time in all worlds has overwhelmed the Ungod’s mind. Visions of innumerable existences haunt his undying hours, an unparalleled punishment for Norrath’s greatest mortal. It seems so many wish for immortality with no consideration for its consequences. I believe you can [help] me though, and for that we will help him.’
You say, ‘How can I help?’
Denrik Serbold says ‘Upon learning what occurred in the plains of the Rainkeeper, I was ecstatic to find Norrath charting a new course in history. The laughably tenuous barrier between possible futures means new opportunities to seek the tutelage of the Ungod, as every course of history shapes what he has seen and knows in a different manner. Yet in this history his mind is too clouded to offer us anything substantial. That’s where you [come in].’
You say, ‘Where do I come in, exactly?’
Denrik Serbold says ‘I sailed here in the vain hope that somewhere buried under these moving mountains of death and colossal cadavers would be the remains of the Forsaken City. Many of my gullible brethren have accepted the city of Tanaan in the shadow of Myrist to be that fabled place, but I am not so easily dissuaded. Unfortunately, my excursions were quickly cut short by the inhospitable landscape and generally irate inhabitants of the hills. So I need you, adventurers uncursed by the gods as I am, to [explore] this place.’
You say, ‘I’ll explore it…’
Denrik Serbold says ‘Very good. Familiarize yourself with these lands and I’m sure we’ll find something to jar the mind of the Forsaken.’
You have been assigned the task ‘For the Sake of the Forsaken’.
Denrik believes the key to deciphering Zebuxoruk’s madness lies in finding the Forsaken City, the legendary location where believers who have fallen from the grace of their gods gather to pay respect to the ‘Ungod’.
He believes the city may have once stood in these hills. Assist him in finding its ruins in the hopes that whatever clues turn up will help make sense of Zebuxoruk’s commands.
