You say, 'Hail, Terror Lord Cadrak'
Terror Lord Cadrak says, 'Ready yourself traitor, Grindrun has ordered your death.'
You say, 'If that is so, why didn't the guards attack me yet.'
Terror Lord Cadrak says, 'They aren't foolhardy. We know your strong, so I will deal with you personally.'
You say, 'Cadrak, I have Gradalsh's favor. The traitor is Grindrun and this Cold One.'
Terror Lord Cadrak pauses for a moment, clearly considering your words. 'Do you believe in the strength of Entropy <Player Name>?'
You say, 'There is no stronger force.'
Terror Lord Cadrak says, 'Indeed. And if you truly have Gradalsh's blessings, there should be no stronger force than you as well.'
You say, 'What are you getting at?'
Terror Lord Cadrak says, 'Prove your strength, and I shall turn a blind eye to any interactions you and Grindrun have. Start by traveling to the dead keep of the high kings. Secure the voice of a banshee, and bring it back to me. If your power is true, than stealing a voice will prove a simple task.'
Gather A Wailing Voice from Highkeep and give it to Terror Lord Cadrak.
Terror Lord Cadrak says, 'Excellent. It still resounds in anguish. I have many uses for this.'
You gain 35000 experience!!
You say, 'Very well. I shall deal with Grindrun now.'
Terror Lord Cadrak says, 'No you shall not. Dealing with the dead is something you likely do on a daily basis. No, to show your devotion and strength to Gradalsh means dealing with greater foes.'
You say, 'What else shall I do then?'
Terror Lord Cadrak says, 'Journey to the First Ruins, and seek out a the tower of Sivyana. Somewhere within, you will find a hood from one of Tarhyl's bloodfire, who went to far, and proved less than worthy. Capturing this token will prove the inferiority of both Deitys.'
Search First Ruins for a Hood of a Fallen Bloodfire.
It can drop very rarely from mobs, but it is also a ground spawn in the bladeforger's room.
Give Terror Lord Cadrak the Hood of a Fallen Bloodfire.

You say, 'I'm holding you to that, what is this final task?'
Terror Lord Cadrak says, 'Find a way to the City of Mercy. Cause as much chaos as you can, and lure out the Altaan's Knights of Retribution. Kill three, and return to me. The damage and embarassment
[sic] to the water whore... we will all be pleased.'
Travel to City of Mercy and kill a citizen of mercy and a pilgrim of mercy until Altaan the Sangoma takes notice.
a citizen of mercy shouts, 'Somebody! Avenge us!'
Altaan the Sangoma shouts, 'Knights! Intruders threaten our citizens. Avenge them! For the glory of Althuna!'
Find and kill Knight of Retribution in City of Mercy.
The Knight of Retribution that spawns will walk around either the northern or southern areas of the city. They are trackable and will summon everyone on their hate list to them every few seconds. They also cast Shout of Agony repeatedly, so high magic resist is mandatory.
Note: Repeat this step until three Knights of Retribution are killed.
