Detailed WalkthroughEdit

Reymanus Pelelius is the queen's brother, and can be found in Pelelius Manor in Anvil. As the Kingdom of Anvil's Marshal of the Coast, he has duties for members of the faction. Speak to him, and he'll ask that you investigate rumors of a curse at Ossius Ranch, and asks that you speak to the owner, Rycius Ossius.

Ossius Ranch is outside the city walls - leave the city by its main gate and follow the path southeastwards around the walls to reach it. You'll find Rycius in his hut here. He'll explain that his cows are dying, and will also say that you shouldn't speak to Mudahvi, who he believes is imagining things.

You should speak to Mudahvi, as she isn't imagining things. She's standing among the cow herd, and will speak of movement at Benirus Crypt, a tomb to the northwest in the shadow of the city walls. Enter it and seek the easternmost room. A Glowing Jar is on a table here (as may be the necromancer Aeril, if you've not already met her in Kill Aeril). Activate the jar to be given the option to smash it - do so. Then return to Rycius (you don't need to kill Aeril) to report your success. He'll give you meat and cheese for your trouble. You can now report back to Reymanus to conclude the quest.

NotesEdit

• Reymanus Pelelius disappears from his manor between 11pm and 8am, and so cannot be spoken to there between those times - see Well Met By Moonlight for details.
