Betraying Neriak

Guide by: Savanja

Tired of the oppression and dark emo atmosphere of Neriak? Or perhaps you just loved the look of the Arasai, but rather be in another city. Whether you wish to be a citizen of the equally evil Freeport, or go all the way and make your home in Qeynos or Kelethin, you will need to betray Neriak.

Betrayal for any of the cities consists of a simple series of quests to become an exile, then another series of quests to gain faction for your chosen city. We will be working on guide for the faction quests in the future, but for now, we will guide you through the betrayal process.

First of all, keep in mind that you need to be at least level 10 to start these quests, and at some point during the process you will want to clear out your bank, vaults, and housing items. Mobs and quests scale to level, so these quests are always the appropriate level for your character, and these should all be easily completed solo.

Taking a Different Path - To begin the betrayal process you need to pick up this quest. You get it by rescuing a little boy from mean looking dark elves. (loc 80, 123, 62) They are found in western Neriak next to the Inn. Kill the big guys and snag the quest from the little guy! Once you have the quest, you need to speak with Magister Da'Pater (-276, 29, 202). He's in the Spires of Innoruuk, right around the pillar from the door. He will give you your next task.

Document Retrieval - Steal some documents from the Darklight Palace (loc -578, 0, 148) in Neriak. He's found on the 2nd floor. In that room, you will see a table with scrolls on it, talk to the NPC standing in front of the table and send him on his way, then grab the scroll. Return to the Magister to get your next task.

Rescue the Reverend - You need to rescue Reverend Valac (loc -501, 27, -31) found behind the housing near the Palace. When you get there, you will be attacked. Kill the assassin and hail the Reverend.

Note* Not hailing him quick enough resets the encounter, and you have to leave the area, then come back and kill the assassin again.

Escape the City - You now need to run back and warn the Magister. Along the way, assassins will pop and attack you! When you finally make it back to the Magister, he tells you to get out of the city, and find the Reverend in Darklight Woods. As you make your way through Neriak to Darklight Woods, more assassins will attack you periodically (they pop in the tunnels). Once you make it into Darklight Woods, speak with the Reverend, and he will complete your betrayal journey and send you to exile in Haven.

Going to Qeynos, speak with Gil McMartin (loc -924, -47, +13) in the Commonlands. You can find him on the path towards the West Freeport entrance.

Going to Freeport, speak with Gol M'Tun (loc -29, -14, -55) in Antonica, found near the tree aside the path that leads into North Qeynos.

Going to Kelethin, speak with the registrars within the City Registrar's Office (loc 593, 45, 76) off the ramp in the Green Knoll in Greater Faydark.

Congrats on completing your betrayal, and good luck to you!
