Ruins of Threnal

House Deneith and House Kundarak have temporarily joined forces to explore and excavate the Abandoned Keep, a settlement deep in the heart of Xen’drik that has lain abandoned for hundreds of years. But the evil that destroyed the settlement 500 years ago still awaits those foolish enough to dig deep enough below the Abandoned Keep.

This level 8 adventure zone is accessed through House Phiarlan. Talk to Jalizco Hellios, in the northern part of that enclave, near the road leading north to the Necropolis.

Note the additional quests (see below) that do NOT appear in your Adventure Compendium.

The Western Excavation

 * In Need of Supplies
 * The Rescue
 * Secure the Area

The Eastern Excavation

 * The Library of Threnal
 * Escort the Expedition
 * Hold for Reinforcements

The Abandoned Excavation
The Abandoned Excavation (South) requires the above two series to be completed in your quest journal. Be careful about accepting to redo them if you wanna advance to third part. To continue, you must talk to Sal Danek again (quest giver of East series) and ask "Is there more to do here?" This opens Zaveera Halfspear's dialogue to bestowing quests.


 * The Missing Expedition
 * Entering the Gate Chamber
 * The Gate Chamber

To repeat, you must talk to Sal Danek (quest giver of East series) first and ask "Is there more to do here?" to reset all 3 quest chains. West and East can be repeated individually, but you cannot get advanced to South series that way.

Alternatively, if you're in a public area (non-quest or wilderness; the tavern inside the excavation should do), you can abandon either the Eastern or Western Excavation, which will also drop the Southern Excavation. This allows you to do the side you dropped and the Southern series to repeat for reward, rather than all three. Abandoning the Western Excavation is generally the more popular simply because of the need to escort Coyle and then protect him for 15 minutes in the Eastern Excavation.

To repeat just the West and South chains, access the Quest Journal (default "L" key) in a public area and go to the "Threnal" entry. Under Threnal, highlight the Western Excavation entry, scroll to the bottom of the window and click the "Abandon" button. Talk to Jal Falmer at the western excavation site and re-complete the three western quests. Once the three are complete (be careful to not select the "repeat quests" option with Jal) go to Sal Danek and select the "Is there more to do here?" option. He will then send you to Zaveera Halfspear to complete the southern excavation chain.
