This is a very long quest and you will need the help of others along the way. The result is well worth it. The quest begins in Katta Castellum. You will need to find Roshawna Rhorer he is at loc - 240, 170

You say 'Hail, Roshawna Rhorer '

Roshawna Rhorer says ' A pleasure to speak with you! You appear to be a foreigner to Katta Castellum as well. I hope your reasons for visiting this noble city are more leisurely than my own. In addition to my normal duties as a Shar Vahl Emissary to Katta Castellum there is the issue of the [Tormented Vah Shir] in Tenebrous Mountains that must be dealt with.

You say 'What tormented Vah Shir?'

Roshawna Rhorer says ' Recently the skeletons of Vah Shir have been spotted wandering the Tenebrous Mountains ferociously and blindly attacking the living.

Roshawna Rhorer says ' There are legends among my people that speak of Vah Shir warriors that were murdered dishonorably in their sleep by a traitor allied with [dark spirits]. The spirits of these murdered warriors become trapped in their decaying mortal shells for often many years before they are driven mad by the despair, rage, and torturous experience.

Roshawna Rhorer says ' When this negative spirit energy becomes strong enough the corpses rise and attempt to slaughter all that crosses their path in their state of eternal rage. Spirits tormented in such a manner must be assisted so that they may finally find peace in death. Will you [help the souls] find peace?

You say 'What dark spirits?

Roshawna Rhorer says ' Not all spirits that can be called upon by those who are in touch with the spirit realms are of good intentions.

Roshawna Rhorer says ' There are spirits who seek to destroy and corrupt.These dark spirits are best avoided and kept from manifesting their influence on the mortal realms.Unfortunately the foolish or the weak willed are tempted by their promises of power.

Roshawna Rhorer says ' Most who deal with the dark spirits are shortly driven mad by the spirits influence or destroyed by the very powers they were promised.

Roshawna Rhorer says ' There are tales however of powerful shaman capable of harnessing and controlling the dark spirits and their evil powers of corruption. These wicked traitors to the Vah Shir teachings are called [Rakshasa].

You say 'Who Rakshasa?'

Roshawna Rhorer says 'Like I said the Rakshasa are spoken of only in old tales. Whether they truly existed or not can not be proven for sure and the elder spiritualist insist they are nothing more than creatures of fiction.

Roshawna Rhorer says 'If there truly is a Rakshasa alive today it would be a powerful creature indeed. They are said to no longer have a physical body of their own, having traded it to a powerful evil spirit so that it may enter the mortal realm in exchange for dark gifts. Because the Rakshasa no longer has a physical body of its own it must take the forms of other creatures and can not be destroyed with conventional weapons.

You say 'I will help the souls'

Roshawna Rhorer says The only way for a tormented undead Vah Shir to be put to rest is to destroy its body and take its skull to Shar Vahl where our spiritualists can perform a ritual to cleanse and free the imprisoned spirit.

Roshawna Rhorer says Fill this chest with skulls and return it to me and I will make the preparations for it to be sent to Shar Vahl.

Roshawna Rhorer says The spiritualists there have just recently received word of the situation and will be prepared to perform the proper rituals when the time comes.

You receive a Runed Iron Bound Chest


Tormented Vah Shir Skulls:


You need 8 Skulls. The skulls can be found in the The Tenebrous Mountains on a A Tormented Vah Shir (Levels: 38 - 39). These are relatively rare spawns so be prepared to spend some time here. They spawn at 2 locations -1265, 1774 and 303, - 85. Their place holders will roam after they pop. The place holder can be either a grimling orefinder, a grol baku soldier, or a darkwing bat.

Once you get the skulls place them in the chest and hit combine. Then return to Roshawna Rhorer in Katta and give it to him.

You give Roshawna Rhorer Sealed Runed Iron Bound Chest

Roshawna Rhorer purrs an incantation and waves her claws back and forth over the chest. The runes inscribed on the chest and iron bands begin to softly glow with a golden light.

Roshawna Rhorer says ''You have done a great service for these poor souls. I have sent for a courier to come for the chest of skulls but he is quite late in his arrival. I will keep it safe until the courier arrives.

A Vah Shir courier says 'Sorry for the delay mistress, I ran into a spot of trouble on the way here. I am prepared to deliver your crate to the spiritualists back home.

Roshawna Rhorer says' I hope your journey back to Shar Vahl is less eventful. Please make haste the spiritualists must receive this crate as soon as possible.

A Vah Shir courier tucks the crate of skulls under his arm and nods to Roshawna. Suddenly the courier begins to shake, his fur stands on end, and his eyes glaze over expressionlessly.

The courier runs for the gates of Katta Castellum with an otherworldly howl echoing in his wake.

Roshawna Rhorer says 'Stop him! Stop the courier!
An evil spirit has possessed him!
He must not escape with those skulls!
Catch him and bring back that crate of skulls!

You must now kill the Vah Shir Courier. Here is where you are gonna need some help. After he dies 8 Reanimated Vah Shir’s ( Level 56 ) will spawn.

Once you have killed them place the skulls in the chest again and hand them to Roshawna Rhorer.

Roshawna Rhorer says 'It appears this situation is much more dire than we had first presumed. It would be unsafe to send this crate within the walls of Shar Vahl should another innocent be possessed and the tormented Vah Shir be resurrected once more.

Roshawna Rhorer says 'I shall scribe a note explaining the occurrences for you to deliver along with the crate to Spiritualist Roleko at the Vah Shir outpost in Grimling Forest.

Spiritist Roleko say's 'It was wise of Roshawna to send you to me instead of risk bringing something so tainted by the dark spirits within the walls of Shar Vahl. I shall begin the ritual immediately.

Spiritist Roleko say's 'What is that?! Look! There is a grimling heading this way followed by what appear to be grimling undead. Defend me while I perform the ritual.

Scribe Cholsa Says 'So it seems there is more truth to the legends of the Rakshasa than is commonly believed.
I recall much of the tales of the wicked shaman who sold their souls and bodies to the dark spirits. There is a ritual that must be performed to force the Rakshasa to fully materialize in our realm so that it may be slain.

Scribe Cholsa Says 'I will write down the instructions for the ritual but the [components] I'm afraid may be difficult to obtain.

You say 'What is components?

Scribe Cholsa Says 'The legends instruct that the ritual requires an Amulet of Golden Rays crafted by a worshiper of the sun, Charcoal that burns with a Black Flame, and the Brain of a creature that can Leech the Thoughts of others.

Scribe Cholsa Says 'If you manage to procure these items please take them with the instructions I have provided to Spiritualist Roleko at the Grimling Forest Outpost. The Rakshasa shall be summoned and slain there away from the citizens of Shar Vahl.

Spiritist Roleko say's ''I will need to maintain my concentration to keep the Rakshasa from escaping back into the spirit realm.

The Battle:

Spiritist Roleko says' The threat of the Rakshasa appears to be eliminated. You have the gratitude of the Dar Khura for your bravery and assistance. Let us be wary however, the Rakshasa gained his power by allying with dark spirits that may not be indifferent to the Rakshasas death.

You receive Shield of Bane Warding!
