Walkthrough
Find Archaeologist Kered (The Grand Library at -801, 414, 3 • Archaeology wing (past junior lorekeepers)) .
You say, 'Do you think it wise to try to find something from Tarlisha herself?'
Archaeologist Kered says, 'No, not quite, <Player Name> .. Tarlisha is too canny to store her relics personally. Another once served her, a trusted valet. An elf some claim was touched by Althuna Herself. When the dark curse befell the Elthannars, this elf was one of several who dodged it... at least initially. He was banished with Tarlisha all the same, though, and haunts the catacombs as a ghost - drenched in the bloodied sins of the Elthannar family.'
You say, 'A ghost in the catacombs..'
Archaeologist Kered says, 'If anyone can do it, I believe it is you, <Player Name>.'

Journal Text: This is hard work, but I think the cause is worthy. Kered wants me to try to find something held by Tarlisha's ghostly valet.

Archaeologist Kered says, 'Excellent job, <Player Name>. This is going quite well.'
You gain 40,000 experience!!
You say, 'What do you think about seeking out some relics that belonged to Eldenal?'
Archaeologist Kered says, 'Hmm, that is not a bad idea indeed. It is unlikely he thought to bring anything of worth with him when they left the throne, so do not waste time looking in his mansion. Instead, return to his former seat of power and see what you can find. Return with something small first to see if it is worth spending time on.'
