He wants you to obtain these scrolls and return them to him.
The quest entrance is found in Delera's Graveyard, east of the entrance to Thralls of the Necromancer.

What to Expect
- This quest has Haunted Library as a prerequisite

- Secret doors (some required) which must be found and opened to continue the quest: Secret Door DCs
Known Traps
- Dart traps in the first room; control panel is on the wall past the traps
- Fire traps in the second room (from the center); control panel is on the north wall past the trap
- Force Trap on the pillar in the room south of the Room of Columns, focused on the bookshelf; control panel is on the west side of the pillar
- Acid trap around chest in west wing behind secret door (location M); control panel is on the pillar to the west
- Spike Trap on stairs leading up to the scroll of decay (location L); control panel is on the far west wall
- Spinning spike traps in the hall past the locked door to the east (on the way to H), by the oozes; control panel is on the north wall
- Dart trap in the room south of the central east room; no control panel (north of location J)

Tips and Misc
- Turn Undead is helpful, fire damage and Disable Device are helpful.
- Useful buffs: Resist acid and electricity (against Arcane skeletons), Death Ward, Resist Poison (against Cloudkill), Freedom of Movement, Remove Fear (against mummies)
- Most sarcophagi will spawn a skeleton.
- Going west first is the most logical way to go; if you follow the letters on the map, you won't go too far wrong. The blue letters on the map (A–G) are mandatory, while the red letters (H–M) are more optional, leading to extra kills or loot. The optional bits can be done in any order.
- The first room to the west has a curious ambush: If you step in the center, one-way fields will form around you: The spawned undead can get in, but you can't get out (a high enough Jump may allow you to leap over, however).
- Neither mummy warden is actually named, despite the objectives listing; they're both merely "mummy wardens".
- The dread wraith appears two rooms to the west of center, in the Room of Columns.
- The mummy warden, Theodus, appears to the north (location F).
- Annelisa Hdar is in the first room to the east (location I); you can also pick up and read the Letter to Annelise.
- The mummy warden, Omaren, is at the end of the hall behind the locked door to the east (location H).
- Saerick's Journal is in the northeast room.
