Anyhow, strong black magic powers still surround that place. After a long period of research, we have found an answer. If this force is neutralized, we should be able to counter the curse. First, my long time friend Sorcerer Esrandell says that he needs a complete skeleton of an undead monster in order to identify the black energy that abounds in the fortress. I would like you to travel to the abandoned Underground Fortress and bring me bone fragments and skulls of the undead. If you would help me lessen my burden, I will reward you handsomely.
Player choice:
I give you my deepest gratitude. Go immediately to the Underground Fortress and bring me ten undead bone fragments and three Elf skulls. The skulls must be whole and intact, with no flaws. According to Sorcerer Esrandell, flawless and unscarred Elf skulls may only be obtained from the monsters called the
dark terrors.
Dark terror,
mist terror and shade horror ... they are all related.
I wish to present my fellow soldiers, who have suffered long enough, with eternal peace as soon as possible. Please. Hurry.
You should be careful while walking the streets of this town, young Dark Elf Village. Though no harm will reach you thanks to the truce agreement, remember that my brothers will not look kindly upon you. We have not forgiven the race of dark for the cruel acts committed a thousand years ago to our race.

Did you know? The most intense battle against the evil Dark Elves took place in the Underground Fortress, which is now full of monsters. I was there when the last battle took place and still remember it vividly. I was so frightened that I thought only of my own safety, and left behind my screaming fellow soldiers as I ran away from the battle.
The deep sorrow and tears of those who died then acted as a powerful curse, and the corpses resurrected as undead. I should have chosen death like my fellow soldiers ... I am so ashamed that I am still alive ... I am so ashamed that I cannot even look up at the heavens ...
I wished to break the curse so that my friends could peacefully rest in the afterlife, and I have spent a long time with my old friend Sorcerer Esrandell, researching ways to counter the curse of the Underground Fortress. We have only recently discovered a method.
Player choice:
Thank you. Now all that is left is to figure out the origin of the black magic energy from the fortress. My old friend Sorcerer Esrandell will also thank you, I'm sure. Please pray that we may send the souls of my fallen fellows into the arms of Eva.
Please, take this. This is in gratitude for your work to bring eternal peace to our brothers who died for the future of our race. May honor and the spirits of the forest guide you on your path.

I wish to break the curse so that my friends may rest in peace in the afterlife. I will still not be forgiven for my sins against them, but I don't think I could ever live without doing something. Along with Sorcerer Esrandell, my long time friend, we are researching methods to counter the curse of the Underground Fortress, but we have yet to find an answer. When we find a method in the future, I would like to ask your help.
