Dreadmaster Natzrii's quests - Part IV

This next bar must be brought to Sytha Coldwind, the Necromancer Class Leader. Interestingly, the quest text indicates that Sytha is a male, but he has a female iksar model. Thus, I will refer to Sytha as a she. She wants you to bring her 4 Vials of Froglok Blood, 1 Froglok Neophyte Robe, 1 Undead Essence of a Drowned Soul, and the Runed Black Metal Bar she gives you. The Froglok Bloods are dropped off of all frogloks in Stinger's Bog, or you can just buy 4 from the vendor in there. Froglok Neophyte Robe is semi-uncommon drop from froglok neophytes in Halls of Mielech. Following is paraphrased from the article on Waterlogged Ghoul. The Undead Essence of a Drowned Soul is A Weak Undead Soul, dropped from a Waterlogged Ghoul in Stinger's Bog, which is located at 1680, 1430. He is 15'ish, harmtouches for 160, and melee's around 30. Bring the items back to her and receive the Squire's Crest of Darkness. You know what to do.

Find Dreadmaster Natzrii (Grobb  at 51, -463  •) .

Dreadmaster Natzrii says, 'Knights of Shadow gain their magical skills from the same school as the Necromancers, it is our mastery of their dark skills that sets up apart. Take this bar to the Head of their order Sytha Coldwind, and follow their instructions to past the trial.'

You receive Black Metallic Bar of Night from Dreadmaster Natzrii.

Give Black Metallic Bar of Night to Sytha Coldwind (Grobb  at 430, -1015  • Necromancer Guild) .

Sytha Coldwind scratches the surface of the metal with a glowing finger claw, leaving behind a strange glowing rune before handing it back to you,'So a new squire has made it all the way to the Trial of Darkness, not many get this far <Player Name>, let us hope it's not been a wasted journey. While the Knight's mastery of the dark arts is never as great as our own you do learn many of our ways, since you will need to be familiar with our rituals you shall go procure supplies our order is short of. We gain our powers from death and entropy, so you will learn of these forces first hand in your grim task. Slaughter the frogloks who patrol the swamp - or dare delve into the halls and slay them there - returning four vials of their blood. Defeat one of the foolish neophyte's of Mielech and remove its robe so that I may drench it in the blood of his brethren, and finally capture the undead essence of a drowned soul. Return these components to me along with this dark metal and I will demonstrate a ritual that will focus and reshape its shadowy form into the Crest you seek.'

You receive Rune Marked Bar of Night from Sytha Coldwind.

Gather and give Sytha Coldwind:

• Rune Marked Bar of Night
• Froglok Blood x 4
• Froglok Neophyte Robe
• Weak Undead Soul

Sytha Coldwind takes the items from you and gestures for you to watch silently as he bends down. Chill vapors emanate from his claws as he forces the weakly glowing undead soul into the tiger skull and places it over the black metal bar, the light glowing eerily from the empty eye sockets. Slowly Sytha begins drawing strange runes and lines around the skull with the black blood. Finishing his strange work he chants a guttural incantation as the runes and sickly light in the skull burn bright red for a moment, then all goes silent in with a whiff of sulphur. Lifting the scorched tiger skull away reveals the newly formed Crest of Darkness smoking slightly at your feet,'You see now the power death grants us <Player Name>, over time you may learn to wield the shadows as well. Revel in the power of Necromancy you have been granted, through its use you are much more than a simple fighter, you are a Crusader of darkness!'

Once you've obtained your reward from the quartermaster you should be ready to take the final test.'

Give Squire's Crest of Darkness and Squire's Breastplate Invoice to Blackscale Order Quartermaster (Grobb  at 544, -311, -5  • Near Beastlord guild)

Blackscale Order Quartermaster grunts and digs through his stock before coming up with a dark piece of armor with an empty cavity just the right size for the Crest to fit into. A couple of quick strikes of his hammer mates the two pieces and you feel the hum resonate through the entire item as he hands it to you'
