Lore Context

• The quest text reveals the cause of death: “William’s neck has been cut by a sharp object.” In a mine overrun by ghouls, William wasn’t killed by undead; he was murdered with a blade.
• The Enlistment Card confirms his identity: William Allerton, the family friend who told Leryssa that Thassarian had enlisted in Valiance Keep despite supposedly being dead for years.
• Leryssa’s response shows her growing suspicion: “Do you think William’s death was a random killing by the Scourge? Things sure seem fishy. Something’s up. We must find Thassarian.”
• William knew something about Thassarian. Someone killed him to keep that information quiet. The conspiracy runs deeper than Leryssa feared.
