Quest Text
With the information that I found in Gwerp, as well as the evidence that I've collected since I first started on this venture, it seems that the Lighteater might be some manner of vampire, feasting exclusively on the goblins of Warslik's Wood. However, I don't yet know why this creature evidently has goblin followers, or any idea of where to find it. I believe though that my next set of clues will be in Kaesora, the domain of one of Kunark's most infamous vampires.
Completion
It seems that the Lighteater was an ancient goblin once known as Grachnist the Destroyer. He was able to master a method for siphoning the youth of victims to feed his own, and thus, live nearly indefinitely. The terror of the Lighteater, however, has been put to its final end. In return, I've received a coveted possession of his - the Shrunken Goblin Skull Earring. A grizzly artifact to be sure, but infused with the power of lifetimes.
Stages
- Stage 1
I need to enter Kaesora: Xalgozian Stronghold, and see if I can locate any information kept there on the strange rituals performed by the Lighteater.
