The Human, Ras Frostwhisper

Travel to the Arathi Highlands, to the ruins of Stromgarde. Search Stromgarde for a Keepsake of Remembrance. If you find such an item, return with it to Magistrate Marduke.
Keepsake of Remembrance

Description

The undead fear life just as the living fear death. It is not unusual for a sentient undead being to completely destroy all remnants of his or her previous life after having turned.

Unfortunately, in order to create an artifact capable of reverting Ras Frostwhisper to a mortal, we must have a keepsake from his years among the living.

You must venture to the ruined city of Stromgarde, Frostwhisper's home, and search for such an item. May luck be with you, <name>.

In order to see the quest giver, you have to have completed Kirtonos the Herald (https://classicdb.ch/?quest=5384). After that, when you equip the Spectral Essence trinket in Caer Darrow you'll be able to see the Magistrate.

You have to complete the quests from the ghosts right outside of scholo to get a trinket that lets you see the NPCs there.&nbsp After that, he is up in the castle where the scholomance instance starts.

It appears this book can be in any of the 3 sections of Stromgarde.&nbsp I found mine in the Syndicate-controlled section, inside an inn on the 2nd floor.&nbsp In summary:

1)&nbsp Books can be found in fireplaces in any section of Stromgarde

2)&nbsp The book could be in one of the burnt-down houses, inside one of the intact ones, or at the top of the Tower of Arathor

3)&nbsp The book is a bright red and is difficult to miss.&nbsp It will be inside the fireplace, so be sure to look straight into it so you don't miss it

The only place I'm not sure it could be is the inside the keep.&nbsp No one has mentioned it being found in there.

Hope this helps

I just spent an hour hunting the entire place. Every single fireplace where the Ogres are ... looked in each one 5 times. Ran up and down the tower ... no red book to be found. At the entrance to the tower there are a couple of books strewn about but none of them is red like in the picture of another post above and non of them can be clicked on.
Edit: I finally found them after another hour of search. See inserts below

Frustrating as hell. Questions:
a) Has anyone ever located this book outside the ogre area in the Stormguard Keep?
Yeah I have. :) Found it on the Eastern side where the conjurers and the stealthed guys are. Last house, 2nd level, in the fireplace
b) Has that book ever not been red?
What I found was a red book (again)
c) If it was found in the tower - where exactly? (Given that there are no fireplaces in the tower, no shelves, pretty much nothing to hide a book)

Any help would be highly appreciated.
Not necessary for me anymore :). Good luck finding it!&nbsp
Thanks

As of 1.11, the Trinket only works in Caer Darrow.&nbsp Magistrate Marduke is now in front of the instance next to a cart.&nbsp You'll have to listen to his story similar to the first quest NPC there.&nbsp

Please bear in mind that the position of this book changes.&nbsp It can spawn anywhere in the stromgarde (ogre-controlled) section.

I have seen this book many times, mostly when I didn't have the quest yet and sometimes when I was actually looking for it.

The most common (I'm not trying to imply here that this is the end-all, be-all of locations) is the top Tower of the ogres (usually spawns by the top chest or nearby) or in a fireplace.

I have seen it ALL over the place in fireplaces but the most common one is on the east side, 2nd level before you reach the tower.

If you are level 60 (and you probably really should be doing this quest line), you can probably have an easy time searching for the book with no aggro.&nbsp I practically stood on top of the ogres there and they didn't even notice me, so as long as you're somewhat careful you should be able to search in peace and ride out.

Good luck, all.

Magistrate Marduke
Is in the top of the building at Scholo, turning Right instead of going into the Instance.&nbsp head upstairs and there he is.....

You need to have equiped your Spectral Essence - Trinket in order to see him.

I then found the book in the Ogre fireplace as pictured above.&nbsp My friend needed the same item which then respawned in the top room of a house in the Sindicate region. And outside this house Marez Cowl loiters!

Good luck

It can spawn in any of the fireplaces around Stromgarde Keep.

Co-ordinates won't help you any more than simply finding 'Stromgarde Keep' and searching for it.

It can be in plain sight, it can also be in the upper floors of the buildings.

By the sounds of it, it can also be on the floor of the tower.

It won't take more than 15 minutes to find, as a level 60, just aggro the minimum amount of things, search the visible ones on horseback then search the buildings you can enter on foot.

Good luck!

For those of you unable to loot the book, double check to see if you're in a raid.&nbsp I've had fun trying to loot the one in the plaguelands for awhile, knowing I had the right book, but having it turn to dust on me.&nbsp Forgot I was in a raid.&nbsp So just double check.&nbsp =)&nbsp

This CAN spawn at the top of the Ogre tower.

I found it once on the ogre side and I forgot I was in a raid group and the book disappeared.&nbsp After looking for another 15 minutes I got frustrated and decided to check the places where I thought there is no chance it would be.

I just raced to the top of the tower and lo and behold there it is.&nbsp All the ogres chasing me gave up and I ended up only having to kill 2.

So if you cant find it the tower might be a good place to check.

My shammy friend found the book at the top of the ogre tower (on the floor) and then RIGHT after I found it in the bottom level Inn, upstairs, on the syndicate side. It reappears somewhere else after it is looted once. I would try it in that order, if you find it in the oger tower 1st.

Okay, I finally found it at the top of the "inn-like" structure near in the syndicate portion of the keep.

I checked everywhere in the ogre place (even the top of the tower) and nothing.&nbsp If you are having trouble check the fireplace in the closed building on the syndicate side.&nbsp I almost missed it but it is on the second floor and to the left right as you pass the one of the doorways.

Warrior book! >:(

Ok... here is the method by which to get this quest:

1. As you approach the Scholomance entrance there are two ghosts outside, One has a quest

2. Doctor Theolen Krastinov, the Butcher - https://classicdb.ch/quest=5382
This involves kiling the butcher and collecting the remains of the two ghosts from around him (they are chunks of meat on the ground in his room).

3.Now the ghosts send you to kill the butcher's master, Jandice. she is in another section of Scholomance. Pick up the bag of horrors she drops and return it.

4. Returning the bag they give you Blood of Innocents Use this in the brazier resting on the viewing platform. Kill the gargoyle and return to the ghosts.

5. The ghosts reward you with a trinket that allows you to dee the ghosts of caer darrow. You MUST equip it to see the ghosts.
The ghosts of interest is the baker (just inside caer darrow to the right), the blacksmith (in the smithy) and the Magistrate.

6. The magistrate is in a large room above the scholomance instance (NOT IN THE INSTANCE) instead of going into the scholomance door, turn right. go up the wooden stairs and turn left. You should enter a large room. If you are wearing the trinket then there is a ghost there.

7. Take the trinket off... the ghost dissapears!

8. Put it back on, the ghost appears! what fun!

9. Talk to the ghost, he will have a few things to say, listen to them. When he is finished he gets a quest mark above him.

10. Talk to him again. Get the quest and celebrate... now do the chain.

As a side note: the baker is great cause he supplies food and drink, really useful if you got no mage because chillwind point doesnt have any.
The blacksmith has some alchemy recipies.

I found it in the Inn which Titan Panel lists as 29,62 - 2nd floor back room, in the fireplace. This is all the way in the back-left corner of Stomgard. I had to feign death to shake a bunch of aggro from the lvl 38-40 Elites who hang out here.
