==Walkthrough==
At Honor's Rest, you will find a man named Lozruth. Lozruth believes he has found the tomb of the Orc hero Baloth Bloodtusk, whereas his colleague Sharela believes this is the tomb of Gaiden Shinji. 
Head up the stairs and talk to Sharela. She has determined from the imagery here that this is likely Gaiden Shinji's tomb, not Baloth Bloodtusk's. They cannot get inside though. The door is locked, but there are indentations next to the door that seem to be meant for burial urns. She will ask you to look for such urns in the catacombs below but beware as these catacombs are crawling with Winterborn. 
You will find the catacombs below Honor's Rest; just follow the path. Once in the catacombs, examine the monument stone in the big room. It will tell you that to uncover the history of this place, you must drink from the memorial pools. There are memorial pools on both sides of this dungeon; in the east, follow the river to its end, then head through the cave to the west. Head on until you reach the pool, then drink from it to receive a vision. You will find yourself in a tent with Gaiden Shinji and some of his soldiers; they will be having a conversation about challenging Baloth Bloodtusk to a duel. Speak with Gaiden Shinji when they are done, and he will talk about how his hand is forced and he has no choice but to challenge the Orc chief. After this conversation, leave the memory and you will find the urn of Tamahl, the man whose memories you just visited, in a niche across the pool. 
In the west wing, you must fight through waves of reachmen to get to the pool, but the path will be straightforward. When you drink from this pool, you will find yourself in the longhouse of Baloth Bloodtusk. He has just received a message from Lord Trystan. Speak with him and he will tell you that because of the threat King Joile just sent him, he has decided to fight for Orsinium and its king. Leave the memory and recover the urn of Arakaul, the man whose memory you just visited. 
Once you have both the urns, head back to Sharela. She will be in an argument with Lozruth and someone named Goruz about whose tomb this is. Place the urns and the door will open. Lozruth and Sharela will proceed inside; follow them and you will find architecture associated both with the Orcs and with the Order of Diagna. Head on to the main burial chamber and you will find a statue of the final battle between Baloth Bloodtusk and Gaiden Shinji, depicting them as equals. 
There is another memorial pool at the end of the room; drink from it and you will again find yourself in a memory. There will be a man named Rokaug here; this is the brother of Baloth Bloodtusk. He will tell you that General Mercedene intends to betray both Baloth Bloodtusk and Gaiden Shinji, on king Joile's orders. Proceed ahead to warn your lord, Lord Trystan of this betrayal; you will be too late. General Mercedene will launch a volley of arrows killing both Gaiden Shinji and Baloth Bloodtusk, ending their duel. Talk to Lord Trystan about what happened, and he will send you after General Mercedene. 
Mercedene will be further up the path; kill her, then return to Trystan. He will tell you that he will bury Gaiden Shinji and Baloth Bloodtusk side by side, as they would have wished. When this is done, leave the memory and talk to Lozruth. He will agree that he and Sharela were both right. Talk to Sharela hereafter to finish the quest.
