Unearthing the Past

is a quest in. It is located on the island of Bretnikh.

Overview
There are several parts to this quest, located in Grimfield (initially). Upon nearing Grimfield, Rozag gro-Khazun will reveal that on the king's orders, the place is off limits. He'll suggest that if you want to kill cultists, to head to the crypt in the center. Doing so will show the ghost of Frederique.

Speaking to the ghost of Frederique Lynielle will advance the quest further - she will reveal that she was a former priestess of Arkay. If you promise to help her get rid of the Necromancers, she will give you the Staff of Arkay, which is empty after a long period of disuse. Killing the necromancers will release the dark energy that they use to raise the dead, which the staff converts into power.

If you helped her out in the last region, Crafty Lerisa will appear at this point, and give you a set of Bloodthorn Robes, a disguise that will make Bloodthorn Zombies not attack you.
