    Go to the WW fort, go south around the lake until you come to the Entrancing Dirges. Just off the shore a bit under a tree, is where Niswen stand 26k, 62k (Myrkwood). Go up to him, and right click on him twice, it will say something about him being distracted, and now you have his attention. Type "/s map" and he will go through more stuff, just keep clicking till he attacks you. Kill him, and he drops the map into you're inventory, now return to Ft Alta and talk to Salevia again. Easy :)

    I thought the instructions in the quest description were pretty right on.

    You have to click on Niswen twice. The first time he says something to the fact of listening to the dirges. The second time you click on him he says you have got his attention what do you want. With the main tab clicked you have to say somthing out loud about his brother's map (check journal for exact wording). This will start the challange. Then he and his friend will attack. Both grey at thirty level.

    Please note he has to attack you. I got frustrated trying to figure this out and killed him and his friend and didn't get the map. I ended up having to wait for them to pop again to complete. But it was fun to kill them twice.

    Did this with Shaman and got very nice gauntlets. +6 piety, power and mana I think. Gauntlets conned yellow to a 28 shaman and niswen was green. Once again cant be 100% certain my info is right but the loc I think is 26,62. Just past the werewolf fort and along the edge of the pond till you see him.
    Please give loc

    Next Part of Quest
    # Jan 13 2002 at 4:25 PM Rating: Default
    Ok, I have gotten past this point and had to go back to Inaksha at lvl 30. I am now looking for Gashir or the princess. I have looked around
    Sk. Rav. and Myrkwood, I know I must not be in the right place. Has anyone completed this part
    and have an idea of where to look?

    Casting in the fight
    # Dec 27 2001 at 12:55 AM Rating: Default
    I managed to get off a speed debuff by casting on Niswen just seconds prior to accepting his dual. You can do this fairly easily if your timing is right. Just FYI.

    wouldn't talk to me either
    # Dec 17 2001 at 9:16 PM Rating: Default
    After trying /say /whisper /talk and just /some words for 15 minutes I made a macro of /say niswen and clicked it 75 times with him selected and 75 times with him not selected. I was standing next to him the whole time then I gave up.
    RE: wouldn't talk to me either

    How do you talk to someone in this game? You right click on them ... try that.
    Stuff
    # Dec 15 2001 at 8:39 AM Rating: Default
    For those having trouble, I suggest reading the directions in your journal, they tell you exactly what you need to do, including what you need to say. Just make like a monkey and follow directions, this is not a very intellectual game.

    As for con and stuff, Niswen was green at 26, and Raslen was grey. Having all of my buffs (lvl 11 aug), they were not very hard; no special techniques needed, just whack away.

    Good hunting,

    How did you get Niswen to Challeng You?
    # Dec 11 2001 at 5:30 PM Rating: Default
    I tried /say, /send, /talk, /whisper, and just speaking outloud.

    Tried various names, etc. No luck.
    Problems with Salevia
    # Nov 29 2001 at 11:16 AM Rating: Default
    I started the quest in haggerfel, but could not give the map to Salevia. I did tell her that 'Inaksha sent me', she still will not take the map. Any ideas on how to restart the quest, I stillhave the map.

    Both of them conned blue to me at 25 ... and you can't step back to slow them or stun them ... you have to be close to talk to him.

    When you accept the challenge he summons his friend. You only need to kill Niswen. I did so and ran and got it done anyway. He was still easy to solo at 25, even blue and with his friend beating on me.
