Putting spirits to rest: Solonor Tower priests is an optional side-quest in the Severed Hand.

Quick walkthrough[]

  1. Talk to Denaini on floor 1 of Solonor Tower.
  2. Kill all the shadowed elves on floors 2, 3, and 4.
  3. Report back to Denaini.

Walkthrough[]

On the first floor of Solonor Tower (the priests tower) of the Severed Hand, you can talk to Denaini, an undead elven acolyte.

When you ask her about the other priests, she requests that you defeat them in combat so that their spirits can rest. (She also has an unrelated task for you – see Restoring the elven shrine.)

Go upstairs to levels 2, 3, and 4 of Solonor Tower, and kill all the hostile shadowed elves there.

Technical details

Technically, you only have to kill at least 25 of them. There are 33 in total:

  • 21 that appear initially on the three maps.
  • 12 that appear in the two ambushes on level 2 and 3.

This means that you have to trigger at least one of the ambushes, to get the required kill count.

Shadowed elves in other parts of the Severed Hand don't count, nor do those spawned by rest encounters.

Also, killing them using the CTRL+Y cheat doesn't seem to increment the counter. It's possible that some other ways of killing them fail to get registered as well. You can check the current value of the counter using the cheat console:

C:GetGlobal("PriestsDead","GLOBAL")

When you're done, go back down to Denaini and tell her that the priests have been laid to rest. She thanks you, and rewards you with Edley's Sling +3 and 24,000 exp.

Note that in case you've killed the priests without getting the quest from her first, when you talk to her afterwards about them, don't tell her immediately that they've already been put to rest, cause in this case she doesn't reward you. But if you choose the dialogue path in order to get the quest from her before letting her know, and then talk to her one more time, the rewards will be yours.
