Nivold Predd, Paineel

"What do you want? Do not disturb me lest you plan to assist in my [summoning of Dread]."

"There are some components essential to the summoning of the avatar of Dread. I require the eye of a griffon. some [powder of reanimation]. the brain of the Ishva Mal. and the toes of an ice giant. Fetch me these reagents so that we may summon the avatar to forge a shield worn only by the mightiest apostles of Cazic-Thule."

"There is a gnome necromancer who has been experimenting with a powder used in reanimating long dead organic tissue. He is known to frequent places populated by undead in order to pursue his research. Seek him out and procure a bit of his powder."
