    This is the second task in a series of three and begins with Fergarin Bardon I in Valdeholm, who is located in the back room behind Wraithguard Heimgul, at -770, -780, -25.

    You say, 'Hail, Fergarin Bardon I'

    Fergarin Bardon I says 'Greetings _____. I have heard of your work for the Wraithguard lately. Perhaps you would be wiling to assist me and my followers in a small [journey]. Or, if you are more interested in doing me a more...Personal favor, there is some [information] that you could gather for me. It might even be possible for us to help [each other].'

    You say, 'I could gather some information.'

    Fergarin Bardon I says, 'I have been hearing rumors of treason among my own people. It's shameful to admit that i believe these rumors to be true. In order to protect my people and the great city, I need your help to gather evidence to prove or perhaps disprove, these rumors.'

    You are offered the tasks Intercepted Correspondence and Lost Letter.

    You have been assigned the task 'Lost Letter'.

    Find evidence about this treasonous plot 0/1 - Valdeholm

    For this step, you need to loot a Sealed Letter (identifies as "Sealed with a symbol of the Lorekeepers of Valdeholm"), which drops from trash in Valdeholm.

    Deliver 1 Sealed Letter to Fergarin 0/1 - Valdeholm

    Your efforts have proven Fergarin's suspicions to be correct. The letter you recovered was sealed by a lorekeeper's seal. However, the letter was unsigned, relying on some previous understanding as to who the parties involved are. From the information in the letter, it seems obvious that it was intended for some Drakkin officer in the far south east, probably in the place they call Direwind. Fergarin thanks you for your efforts and hopes that he can find someone to [complete the task].

    Your standing with Wraithguard Leadership got better. (+50)

    Reward: Experience and Progression

    Completing this task opens up the next task in the series.

    Here is the text from the quest window for Fergarin #2: Lost Letter:

    "Fergarin believes that the guards were allowing messengers to leave Valdeholm unaccounted for. He wants to know what information they are carrying and where they might be going. He wants you to find one of these couriers and recover any documents he might be carrying. You might find one of these couriers inside the city, but he's certain to leave some time, so it might be better to wait for one to try to escape the city. They will certainly never do so at night due to the Shades, and otherwise they will appear as normal citizens. Good luck finding one."
    Confirmed alternate drop

    So this only drops off a particular giant?

    Just got Sealed Letter to drop from a veteran in the multi-story building in the northern part of the zone. Had the task and confirmed that this note IS the proper one and received the task update as expected. This was around 4PM game time on Phinny.

    In my experience the faction changes as such:
    Your faction with Wraithguard Leadership has been adjusted by 50.

    Exact location of NPC (Fergarin):

    -770, -780, -25

    ---------------------------

    The dialogue listed here is actually the dialogue from the first quest (Intercepted Correspondence). You are intended to just say "further assistance" to open up this task.

    ----------------------------

    "which drops from trash in Valdeholm" - this does not drop from trash, it only drops from one mob, a citizen of Valdeholm, which as posted below spawns at exactly 7am game time. This citizen always spawns in the same place: -1290, -480, which is slightly to the east of the hotsprings, and then it roams towards the gate to exit and cross the bridge during the next "game hour"


    -------------------------------

    When you hand in the letter you receive the following text:

    Your efforts have proven Fergarin's suspicions to be correct. The letter you recovered was sealed by a lorekeeper's seal. However, the letter was unsigned, relying on some previous understanding as to who the parties involved are. From the information in the letter, it seems obvious that it was intended for some Drakkin officer in the far south east, probably in the place they call Direwind. Fergain thanks you for your efforts and hopes that he can find someone to [complete the task].

    Your standing with Wraithguard Leadership got better.

    (It doesn't update Wraithguard, just leadership)

    The letter actually does drop from other mobs. Otherwise, updated.

    This task also yields Faction with Wraithguard Leadership now. Handy for an ally person to help others raise faction.

    Also, the minimum is wrong, it is 1 not 3.
    Found it

    Drops for "a citizen of Valdehom" (yellow con) around 7/8am. My grp camped just to the right inside the front gate after you cross the bridge. This guy came out of the first building on the right. He happened to aggro on me as I was looting.

    For this step, you need to loot an item (what item?).

    this is a Grp task, Can be done by being gimped in so long as someone in grp is ally faction (of note the actual task does not give faction, but you can still flag peeps via this).
    Grp task

    A yellow con citizen spawns around 7am game time. He is the only one we found that drops the letter to update this task. He will eventually path thru the gates but can kill him right inside.
