Objectives[]

Prince Keleseth at the Crypt of Remembrance has ordered you to discover the truth about the "Crimson Dawn."

Remove Inv sword 01 [Keleseth's Persuaders] from the Inv box 02 [Ornately Jeweled Box] and use them to "persuade" the Scarlet Crusade into talking.

  • "Crimson Dawn" Revealed

Description[]

In my travels across this world I have made several interesting discoveries. For instance, did you know that with the proper amount of encouragement one can extract all the truths that a man dares hide? As luck would have it, I happen to have some encouragement on hand.

<Keleseth pulls something out of an ornately jeweled box.>

These are my "persuaders." Equip them and take to the field, death knight. Apply the pointy ends to soldiers of New Avalon. Discover the truth about this "Crimson Dawn."

Rewards[]

You will receive: 85s, 2 Bonus talents and Inv jewelry ring 56 [Keleseth's Signet Ring]

Progress[]

Use the persuaders on Scarlet Crusaders. One of them will eventually... crack.

Completion[]

An awakening? What nonsense do you speak, <boy/girl>! What kind of fool would deliver their people into the very heart of the frozen wastes? Perhaps, though, this courier holds the answer.

Notes[]

Avoid using your abilities. Otherwise, you'll bring them down too fast before they can talk, simply auto-attacking will eventually work.

When you first start attacking, you and the mob will go back and forth with any of the following:

  • You say: I'll tear the secrets from your soul! Tell me about the "Crimson Dawn" and your life may be spared!
  • You say: Tell me what you know about "Crimson Dawn" or the beatings will continue!
  • You say: I'm through being courteous with your kind, human! What is the "Crimson Dawn?"
  • You say: Is your life worth so little? Just tell me what I need to know about "Crimson Dawn" and I'll end your suffering quickly.
  • You say: I can keep this up for a very long time, Scarlet dog! Tell me about the "Crimson Dawn!"
  • You say: What is the "Crimson Dawn?"
  • You say: "Crimson Dawn!" What is it! Speak!
  • Mob says: You'll be hanging in the gallows shortly, Scourge fiend!
  • Mob says: You'll have to kill me, monster! I will tell you NOTHING!
  • Mob says: You hit like a girl. Honestly. Is that the best you can do?
  • Mob says: ARGH! You burned my last good tabard!
  • Mob says: Argh... The pain... The pain is almost as unbearable as the lashings I received in grammar school when I was but a child.
  • Mob says: I used to work for Grand Inquisitor Isillien! Your idea of pain is a normal mid-afternoon for me!

If the mob breaks before you kill it:

Mob says: I'll tell you everything! STOP! PLEASE!
Mob says: We... We have only been told that the "Crimson Dawn" is an awakening. You see, the Light speaks to the High General. It is the Light...
Mob says: The Light that guides us. The movement was set in motion before you came... We... We do as we are told. It is what must be done.
Mob says: I know very little else... The High General chooses who may go and who must stay behind. There's nothing else... You must believe me!
You say: LIES! The pain you are about to endure will be talked about for years to come!
Mob says: NO! PLEASE! There is one more thing that I forgot to mention... A courier comes soon... From Hearthglen. It...
Scarlet Preacher dies from the torture.
