Test Your Theory

Maintain your reputation with the Gelkis, and dispel the necromantic curse present on the Accursed Skull. Once successful, report back to Nerlokh near the Valley of Bones.

I have placed the skull you provided alongside several bones I found while awaiting your return. Immediately I saw a sickly light spread from the skull and claim those old bones as its own. I see now why the call of necromancy is so hard to resist.

Do you remember this crystal? It is draenethyst. I know little of its potential, but I believe it can channel Theradras' power. With it, perhaps you can dispel the curse.

The ritual site can be found by the pond just east of the village.

<name>! You return from Gelkis Village? I trust Uthek was able to offer some insight.

That staff looks like one of Uthek's, but I do not recognize its gemstone. You say it is called draenethyst?

<Nerlokh listens to you recall recent events and watches your profoundly expressive <race> gestures.>

A weapon to counter necromancy is precisely what we need, and if Uthek is entrusting you with one of her greatstaves then she must have great confidence in this plan.

I have news of my own to share.
