==Walkthrough==
After completing "Morwha's Curse," Marimah will tell you to speak to his daughter Talia to begin your initiation into the Ash'abah. Speak with her and She will tell you she has finished the potion for your initiation. When you tell her you are ready for the trial, she will give you the potion and tell you to drink it in the back of the tent so that you will receive visions of the Ash'abah's past. 
Head to the back and drink the potion. You will wake up in the body of someone called Prince Sameer. Someone named Prince Haqmir will tell you to wake up so you can join the battle. Speak with him and you will learn that this vision takes place not long after the Ra Gada came to Hammerfell from Yokuda, and that you are fighting elves who want to drive you from these shores. When you are done talking, head outside and listen to the speech King Xakhwan is giving to the troops. When he is done, speak with him and he will tell you that he wants you and Haqmir to go out in front of the troops and kill the enemy commander. Haqmir will be in his tent; collect him from there and head out into the battlefield. You will encounter several waves of enemy soldiers along the path, so be on your guard. When you reach their leader Kinlady Iniel, she will say that while you were charging ahead, their troops sneaked behind you and killed the king. 
Haqmir will suspect that the enemy troops went through the crypt. The crypt entrance will be nearby; head in and you will find that the elves have raised the dead inside. Fight your way through and to palace entrance. In the palace, you will find the place thrashed with dead bodies lying around everywhere. Speak with Vizier Yeqdah and he will tell you that the king has been killed and then raised by a necromancer. He will tell you that this means you have to leave this place; slaying the king's reanimated corpse would bring dishonour as he is an honoured dead. After you are done talking, Haqmir will ask to speak with you away from the Vizier's ears. Speak with him in the other room and he will agree with you that you should not flee this place. Striking down the king woule mean dishonour and exile; he will offer to take this burden upon himself. At this point, you can choose to let Haqmir do it or to do it yourself. 
If you choose to slay the king yourself, head into the throne room and slay Wraithmaster Venerien and King Xakhwan. After they are dead, head out of the throne room and speak with Prince Haqmir and the Vizier. They will confirm that the only possible course of action now is to exile you. Leave the palace and the dream will end.
If you choose to tell Haqmir to slay the king, 
Either way, once you are back in present-day Hammerfell, speak with Talia to complete your initiation. This will finish the quest and start the next one, "Ash'abah Rising."
