Death and Remembrance

It is a somber time for many of our kind, as many of us will not survive the coming ordeal. Death is a part of war, and we have accepted our fates, for good or ill. When all is said and done, our deeds will echo through the ages in poems and tales. It is customary for a High Elf who goes to battle to compose a Death Poem. This allows those left behind to gain some insight into their final thoughts. Despite the name, a Death Poem is not always comprised of verse. Death Poems vary from Elf to Elf. Anything, from a collection of feathers, to a carved stick, can be a Death Poem. It is our duty to collect these poems and see to it that they reach the halls of Lothern so the Elves that fight and die in the coming battle can be remembered. In the centuries to come, these Poems can be gleaned for the wisdom they contain.

Travel through Caledor and retrieve the Death Poems of the Shining Guard. Take them to Yrioras the Great Eagle in Drakestar's Lament so that he can deliver them to Lothern.
