Ruinous Labor

Quest Giver:

Magistrate Farrell has tasked me with studying the work patterns of the Corrupted in Brightwood and reporting the results to her. She recommended you to assist, and said I can rely on you. My name's Sobol, I'm the Artificer for the territory. I'm looking forward to working with you.

I’ve noticed a shift in the behavior of the Corrupted: instead of aimlessly mining the same ore over and over, they are actually starting to refine the resources and transport them to other areas.

Something is driving them to be more organized… and better geared for the task. One farm they've used can be found in the south, called Holm's Anguish. I need you to scout the farm and bring back what you find.

Progress:

In order for us to learn what the Corrupted's plans are for Brightwood, I need you to infiltrate and bring back evidence of their plan. It may helps us prevent a Corrupted takeover the territory.

Finish:

I can tell by the ick and mire on your gear that you’ve throughly searched the Anguish. Let me see what you've found.

Hm... It seems as if the Corrupted are beginning to bend the undead to their will. Normally the undead shamble endlessly, with only basic instinct tying them to what was once their humanity.

These tools and documents seem to suggest that the Corrupted are able to take rein on their will and use it to further their hunt for Azoth.

Farrell was right in recommending you to me. This information is pivotal to understanding the motives of the Corrupted not only here, but on the entire island. I'll handle the reporting, and I'll give a commendation for your help.
