Rewards:

Objectives

Find Shinda Creedpike at Mereldar in Hallowfall.

• Talk to Shinda Creedpike

Description

A moment, if you have one.

One of my lieutenants, Shinda Creedpike, did not report in at first bonfire. That may not seem like a large issue to you, but the Arathi in Hallowfall survive only because we follow orders and stand for our brethren.

I am not cruel. I do not want to punish a man for his weakness in this terrible environment. Can you find him and bring him back?

Take all the time you need.

Rewards

You will receive:

• 23 40
• 11,150 XP

Progress

Dawnsurge must have sent you.

It seems like my respite is over.

Completion

You're speaking my language, <name>. Plans give me structure and a goal to achieve.

Let me think about the optimal way to relax.

Notes

Upon accept:

Endiri Dawnsurge says: I see glimpses of the warning signs in Shinda, when I have time to pay attention. There is a listlessness in the eyes. Snippiness. He is fragile, now.

Endiri Dawnsurge says: Even the best of us would falter under these circumstances. And they have.

Speak with Shinda who can be found at the Church of the Scared Flame:

May Beledar give us all succor.

...Light knows I need it.

 (Quest) Are you Shinda Creedpike?

Yes. I am Shinda, lieutenant of the Arathi army and devoted son of the sacred flame.

I imagine Dawnsurge asked you to find me.

 (Quest) Why didn't you show up to your shift?

I can't remember the last time I felt at peace. For that matter, I can't remember the last time I slept a full night.

Dawnsurge gave us all a day of relaxation yesterday, and I couldn't think of a reason to do anything. Why should I, when the burden remains just as heavy for the next day?

It has been years, <name>.

...I do not know how much longer I can stand this.

 (Quest) I'm sorry.

Thank you.

<Shinda smiles, though the expression doesn't reach his eyes.>

I wish I knew how to get past this to be a good soldier again.

 (Quest) Be kind to yourself. Allow yourself time.

Perhaps you are right, <name>. Thank you.

 (Quest) Think of the Light.

Thank you for your concern, <name>. Perhaps I could lean on you to find a way through this difficult time.

 (Quest) And you call yourself a paladin, with all this whining.

Noted.

 (Quest) I sympathize. I've endured difficult times over the years.

You understand. How did you survive those times?

(same as above)

 (Quest) Think of your friends. They're worried about you.

I've noticed them worrying. I know I'm letting them down by not getting better.

(same as above)

 (Quest) Stand up and fight. You call yourself a soldier?

Everyone has a breaking point, <name>. I pray you do not ever reach yours.

 (Skip Conversation) I don't have time for this. (at any point in the conversation you can pick this option)
