Find Sytha Coldwind (Grobb  at 430, -1015  • Necromancer Guild) .

You say, 'Hail, Sytha Coldwind'

Sytha Coldwind says, 'Consider improving your conversational skills and vocabulary before pestering a Master Necromancer, worm! The words you speak may be your last and “hail” is such a poor epitath... I do hope a dullard like you isn't supposed to be a new initiate.'

You say, 'I am a new initiate!'

Sytha Coldwind sighs wearily and shakes her head slowly, 'Of course you are... Well I've sent better Iksar than you to their deaths thinking they were the same. You will have to prove yourself before I waste any time or energy instructing you in the dark arts.'

You say, 'Fine. How do I prove myself?'

Sytha Coldwind says, 'I refuse to expend undo energy on unworthy pupils, however if you prove worthy it would be a shame to lose you so early so I propose a deal. You shall complete several tasks that will teach you the ways of our caste as well as supply you with a means to improve yourself, hopefully keeping you alive. For each task you complete and return the result to me I shall guide you along the path of Necromancy.'

You say, 'What do these tasks entail?'

Sytha Coldwind says, 'First you'll need some protection for your greatest weapon, no not your claws you twit, your brain... Venture into the Stinger's bog and become familiar with the anatomy of our enemy the Frogloks by slicing open their young. The bones of the tadpoles are still soft and malleable, bring four of their skulls to Sechenth in the armory and he should be able to fashion them into a sufficient helm. If you manage to succeed bring the result to me and I shall reward you with a spell, if nothing else the helm should keep it in your head.'

Gather and give Sechenth (Grobb  at 395, -306  •) four Tadpole Skulls.

Sechenth says, 'Always obliged to assist the Order. Here, as you requested, young necromancer.

You receive Soft Skull Helmet from Sechenth.

Give Sytha Coldwind the Soft Skull Helmet.

Sytha Coldwind says, 'Well, as I expected your corpse to be sinking to the bottom of the bog by now, you may have potential after all, <Player name>. Don't let it go to waste or to your head though, you may be worth a little attention now but you are still a simple initiate, with a long ways to go before you are worthy of wearing the robes of an apprentice.'

You receive Initiate's Skull Helmet from Sytha Coldwind.

You receive Spell: Poison Bolt from Sytha Coldwind.

You gain 1000 experience!!
