A Strange Historian

Bring Joseph's Wedding Ring to Chromie.
Joseph's Wedding Ring

Description

I wish Joseph could again be with his daughter, but it cannot be so. His soul was twisted by the Scourge, and he became a monster. Oh, he is doomed!

But perhaps we can change his fate.

Search the graves outside for Joseph's monument. His body's not there, for it was trampled and destroyed years ago, but under the monument is his wedding ring. Take that ring to Chromie... a strange gnome with very strange powers.

Chromie is staying in the ruined inn at the northwest corner of Andorhal.

About 5 seconds after I looted the ring, in my chat log I got a message:
Joesph Redpath whispers: Save me...
A little creepy, but then the whole idea of ghosts giving quests is creepy too.

Joseph's Ring is found in the grave yard next to the house where Marlene is. His Grave stone is easy to recognice, it has a lighter color than the other grave stones.

I hope this will help you. Good Luck! =)

The full quest chain for The Battle of Darrowshire:Villains and Heroes do both need to be completed in order to get Marauders. However, Defenders of Darrowshire (the Uncle Carlin chain) does not need to be completed in order to get to The Battle of Darrowshire.

Thanks Eldrac! Chromie has indeed been moved.&nbsp Come in from the northwest, climb a few hills, and he's upstairs in the inn guarded by a few lvl 54-56 undead.&nbsp I never once encountered an elite.

Since nobody could be bothered to post the location of the annals of darrowshire.

It's in the big building at 44,70.
The entrance to that building is on the east side and I was able to get passed the mobs without getting agro.
Open one of the dusty tomes and you'll get the annals of darrowshire.

Its possible to sneak into the Inn by going round close to the wall on the same side as the monumenet in the square. You can avoid the mob of 4 by keeping very close to the wall and going into the inn. There's one lvl 55 mob in the entrance and one in each room upstairs.

If you stand infront of the building where you got the quest, facing the building, it's in the graveyard on the right.

I can hardly call this an elite quest...

...is the hard part. There are a couple of Undead along the way that can't be avoided. I can take on a Skeletal Acolyte or Executioner three or four levels above me, but there was a Searing Ghoul on the second floor that just plain fried me. Oh, incidentally, I swam around the island and entered from the western side, timimg ,y advance to avoid the Elite wanderer.

So, I took my lumps and died, ghosting as far back in the second floor as possible (I saw Chromie's "long time companion" but not the Gnome, or possibly Dragonkin, herself). Resurrecting as far back as possible, I talked to her. (Oh, for the person who asked: You have to scroll down and click on the "? A Strange Historian" link in the quest dialog.)

It was a pretty amusing encounter... "You're not from the future, are you?" Reminds me of that Seinfeld episode where Elaine's new boyfriend shaves his head and is a vegetarian. When he leaves, Jerry asks with all sincerity "Is he from the future?"

Now unless there's more than one map addon or the new patch changed Chromie's location, The grid posted is wrong for Chromie. Wasn't close.

Grid for ring: 49,76

grid for Chromie: northeast side of the ruins at 39,67

Completed the quest today.

I found the ring in the graveyard next to the house where Marlene is.
When giving the ring to Chromie, she will "repair" it magically, and enhance its containt magically (...)

[][/]The co-ords can be misleading, since this is a pretty small area. The side of the graveyard where the crypt is (with the door that you can open) is the WRONG side. Follow Miam's physical directions it will lead you Str8 to the grave. Miam's post is called Ring Loc.
