[edit] General Information
This mission is part of access to Dreadspire Keep; it yields as Golden Shiliskin Tentacle Ring, one of the four required items. This mission is available in both normal and hard versions; but even the hard version is pretty easy, and not particularly time consuming.
[edit] Quest Information
One can request the mission from Zahn, who can be found in the Undershore at location (-585, 725), north of the camp that Jarzarrad the Prophet sits in, but down next to the water. To get the mission, hail him and follow the dialog:
| “ | You say, 'Hail, Zahn'
The shiliskin regards you cautiously and speaks several garbled words which you do not understand. He speaks again, this time with different inflections although you still cannot comprehend what he is saying. Finally he speaks in a recognizable tongue, 'Or perhaps you [understand] the language of the clockwork traders?' You say, 'I understand you now.' 'Then please,' the shiliskin hisses. 'Spare me. I no longer fight for those that would harm you. There isn't much time. I need to make my [escape] into the upper caverns before I am found.' You say, 'Why do you need to escape?' Zahn says 'This cavern is a tomb. It seals the last remnants of the Shiliskin Empire behind the walls of Malgrinnor. Soon, even that outpost will fall, if not to the drachnids then to the cursed undead that infest the Empire's former capital. . . So I've made a deal with the clockwork traders in Corathus Creep. I've been assured that I will be well taken care of in exchange for information on Malgrinnor's forces and operations. I just need several things done before I can leave this doomed cavern in peace. Will you [help] me. . . Or better yet. . .can you gather a [group] of elite warriors to lead an expedition into Illsalin?' You say, 'I have a group that can enter Illsalin.' Zahn says 'Thank you, surface dweller! May your gods smile upon you.' You have been assigned the task 'Deserting the Ranks' | ” |

[edit] Task Description
| “ | The final mission of the Shilgrave Legion, an elite group of warriors from Malgrinnor, was to attack the temple of Korlach in Illsalin. The frontal assault on the city failed, and the doomed legionnaires were either cut down or captured by the undead within. Zahn alone escaped by diving off a bridge and swimming out of the city. All who know Zahn is still alive are now dead or soon will be, but still he must be absolutely certain that new of his survival will never reach the Shiliskin Empire.
Zahn wants you to take his heirloom shoulder guard and place it on one of the bodies of one of his slain comrades within Illsalin. If anyone comes looking for him, they'll find his armor and think he's already dead. Bring back a Shiliskin Captain's Insignia from one of Zahn's fallen comrades. He needs the insignia to bypass several shiliskin checkpoints on his way to the gnomes in the Creep of Corathus. | ” |
