Life Preserver

==Objectives==
Protect Zallestrasza while she conducts the ritual.
* Travel to Vadekius's Rest
* Tell Zallestrasza to begin
* Protect Zallestrasza
==Description==
The Thornspeakers were assisting me but they have troubles of their own.
I came in search of a powerful dragon who fell in battle many centuries ago. Melting snows have revealed Vadekius's final resting place.
My Queen has tasked me with ensuring his body cannot be reanimated and enslaved. The ritual will require my full attention and my druid friends aren't fit for combat.
Watch my back while I ensure my cousin's soul flies amid the branches of G'Hanir, safe from undeath.
==Rewards==
You will also receive: 
* 20,560 XP
* +75 reputation with Order of Embers
==Progress==
Will you watch my back as I complete the ritual?
==Completion==
Thank you for your help.
