The Champion of Berath

Part 1: Ghost of a Barren Land

Hearthsong

The Celestial Sapling

While in Hearthsong, take the Ogre lift (1) to the Celestial Sapling. The Frightened Villager (2) is inside, near a table in the south section of the dining area. Speak to the jittery man. He recognizes you as the one who killed Lord Raedric. React however you wish and he admits to being one of the guards from the keep. He says Kolsc didn’t last long after dead Raedric “came back,” and he is now coming for you. The Frightened Villager was sent to find you and present this challenge to you. Agree to Raedric’s challenge to begin this quest.

New Quest: The Champion of Berath

Objective: Return to Raedric’s Hold and find your challenger

Raedric’s Hold

And you thought you’d seen the last of the place. Head back to Raedric’s Hold to seek the ghost of Raedric. Fampyr, an undead lady, meets you at the keep’s gate (2). She offers to escort you to Raedric. Agree to the escort and you will suddenly appear on top of the keep (3). Ascend the stairs to face dead Lord Raedric VII (4). If you converse with him a bit before you attack, Raedric tells you how he choked the life out of Kolsc. He doesn’t plan on stopping there. He must be stopped.

Part 2: Bury the Dead

You must battle two Fampyrs, two Fampyr Guardsmen, and Lord Raedric. The Fampyr casts the charm Combusting Wounds while all the other combatants engage in melee attacks. Split your group into two. Have one half work on one Fampyr at a time to keep the charms from happening, and then have them beat on the Fampyr Guardsmen while the other half of your party concentrates attacks on Lord Raedric. When the battle is won, the quest ends. Loot the corpses for your only reward. Lord Raedric held an Exceptional Sword, a Sword, a Large Shield, He Carries Many Scars (armor), and of course (now) a Vessel Bone. Loot the containers on the rooftop, as well. There’s a Scouting container along the back fortress wall.

Talk to the Fampyr (3) that escorted you to the rooftop, and when she asks to be your servant, tell her to go to your stronghold at Caed Nua. Or you can tell her no… or you can just slay her then and there.
