What to do
Take Alaric to the hidden alcove.
The quest giver's words
I know of a hidden niche within the keep that holds an item dear to Thule, and his old colleagues. It also holds something you might find useful. Take me there!
The alcove is in the southwestern tower of the keep, behind a dusty shelf.
Take my body, but leave my boots. They never fit me anyway...
Progress
This is the spot! Bring me closer...
Completion
There we are, it's open. Leave me here. I spent the best days of my life in this keep, and the thought of resting within its walls gives me comfort.
Be sure to close the alcove tight - I don't want those Rot Hides to find me.
Oh, and take this. You've earned it.
Category: Silverpine Forest.

What players recorded
Everything below this line is a different kind of knowledge from everything above it. Above: what the quest is, the same on every realm. Below: what actually happened when people played it, uploaded by them, with the number of runs printed against every figure. It is an observation, not a fact about the quest.
Nobody has completed this quest with telemetry on yet, so there is no timing. Everything below is drawn straight from the 0 recorded attempts the hub has.
How precise this guide is
Early guide Built from 0 runs by 0 players – low confidence. Every upload of this quest sharpens it: the hotspots tighten, the order and the timings settle, and the parts below unlock as the sample grows.
- Where to go – pick-up, objectives and hand-in needs one recorded run not yet
- Typical time and objective order – median and middle half needs 3 completed runs (now 0) not yet
- Tips – what most players do needs 5 runs (now 0) not yet
- Where players die – death hotspots on the map needs 5 characters from at least 2 different people (now 0 from 0) not yet

The route
An early route: drawn from the first runs and sharper with every upload. Pick-up, hand-in and the objective hotspots are where the quest is, so they are shown from the first run.
Map coordinates are the addon's own 0–1 zone coordinates (Silverpine Forest), origin top-left, x to the right and y downward. Drag the zone map to pan, ctrl/⌘ + scroll or the buttons to zoom; the grid lines are tenths of the zone.
