Valdar

Very well. Empty the vessels into the sconce near the throne, then sit in the throne.

When you have done so, I will unbind Hevnoraak. He will awaken in a weakened state, but the lich is still to be reckoned with. Be ready.

More dangerous than you know. Left alone, however, he will awaken when he has grown too powerful to be stopped. This is the only way to be sure.

In life, Hevnoraak drained his own blood from his body. His goal was to transfer his power back into himself after death, becoming a powerful lich.

The vessels contain that very blood. Empty them and you remove any chance he has of regaining his former powers.

Find the three vessels within Valthume, then return to me. With these we can defeat him.

Thank you, hero. Now I may finally rest. Take Hevnoraak's iron mask. It may be of use to you, and serve as some reward for your feat here.

You would do this? Three vessels in the tomb below hold the power to vanquish Hevnoraak. Before anything else, we need those.

Bring them to me - but be careful, mortal. They are guarded by Hevnoraak's minions. They will stop at nothing to see their master return.

I have been holding him here. While he regains strength, however, I am fading.

By now I can barely contain his power, much less defeat him if he awakens. But with the help of a living champion I may be able to succeed.

We stand at the tomb of Hevnoraak, who has been dead for many generations. I fear, however, that his return may be at hand.

He had a way of enthralling people and built up a loyal army of followers. Good men fell under his spell and were forever twisted. Made... evil.

After that, fear was enough to keep them in line. He could torture and humiliate them and they would not rebel. Even in death, they serve him still.

Hevnoraak planned his resurrection obsessively before dying. My duty in life and in death is to make sure he stays in this tomb for eternity.
