Overview

Ulfgar d'Kundarak hired you to investigate the downfall of House of Kundarak's excavation at Korromar and, if possible, to render the site safe for re-occupation. An unknown disaster struck the diggers and archaeologists who were exploring the giant ruins beneath the site, apparently killing them all, and now the outpost is overrun with undead. A small party of Kundarak rangers led by a dwarf named Axelrod is keeping watch over the fallen outpost. Speak with Axelrod to learn more about what you must do to set this evil right
