The Shrouded Vale

The Shrouded Vale
The Shrouded Vale is a small outdoor zone which leads to the actual entrance of the quest The Faithful Departed. It is accessible by speaking with Odonis Arkim in House Phiarlan

There are drow fighters and spellcasters in this area. A minor objective here involves killing a certain number of drows for a little amount of XP. Be advised that the use of Blindness is fairly prevalent here (even on Normal), so anti-blindness equipment is highly advised.

Way to the Quest
First go straight till the area open up. Drop down to the water and head to the left. If you walk back up the hill you can see about 100 feet in front of you a waterfall, as well as a small passage on the wall along to the left (there is a tree close by). If you continue that small way, then over the bridge you can already see the entrance. In short, keep going left as far as possible.

The map below, show the path through the vale to reach the quest entrance of The Faithful Departed. You may want to consider just to run past the mobs, as there is no shrine in this zone.
