The Lich's Identity

Bring the Lich's Spellbook to Bethor Iceshard in the Undercity.
The Lich's Spellbook

Description

There is a lich who dwells on the island in Brightwater Lake to the north. Although he is a free-willed Forsaken, he believes all other Undead are Scourge slaves and has his minions attack anyone who approaches him.

But because he is Forsaken, the Queen will want him. And if he is skilled in Necromancy, then his knowledge would be...quite useful to us.

To discover his identity and his talents, I must see his spellbook. Steal into his camp and acquire it, then return to me.

Reward

Also, you get: 1 75

Progress

<name>, have you acquired the book?

Completion

Very good, <name>. I will study this book and determine the identity of that lich. You have served your Queen well.

<Bethor opens the book and stares intently at its glowing pages...>

Astonishing! The book you retrieved belongs to no one other than Gunther Arcanus!

Gunther was a skilled Necromancer in life; he and I were friends and comrades-in-arms, before the Plague. And judging from his book he has grown even more powerful in death.

His skills would be a great boon to us.

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 525 experience (3 15 at max. level)
  • 150 Reputation with Undercity

Gunther Arcanus (Which is the Lich's name) is located at the only lake in Tirisfal Glades, Northeast of the Undercity. He's located in the middle and is guarded by level 6-8. They can be easily defeated. This quest is easy. but way to boring because you have to keep walking to the Undercity and running back.

I must agree. Very time consuming having to run all the way to the magic quarter and back. repeat. repeat.

Coordinates are 67.42

Running this chain on its own is not necessary. It can be coordinated with other quests to minimize running time. A good companion quest chain is ""At War with the Crusade""
