* Zevlor was captured by the cult of the Absolute. His fellow tieflings claim he froze and tried to surrender. We should look for him.
* The tieflings were captured and brought to Moonrise Towers, but Zevlor isn't with them. His fellow tieflings are angry with him - claiming he wanted to surrender. Some even think he was secretly a cultist.
* Something happened with Zevlor and the tieflings out in the darkness - something bad. And it sounds like the tieflings blame him for it. We should find out more.
* We found the tieflings, but Zevlor isn't with them. They claim he wanted to surrender to the cult. Some even think he was secretly a cultist. We should look for him.
* Arabella's father claims that Zevlor betrayed the tieflings, and tried to run.
* The tieflings were ambushed by the cultists out in the darkness. Zevlor urged them to surrender, and in the confusion the cultists attacked - kidnapping several of the tieflings.

* We purged the mind flayer pods in the colony. Zevlor was in one of them - he must have perished.
* We never found Zevlor.
* We couldn't save Zevlor from his fate.
* We saved Zevlor, who explained that he let the Absolute infiltrate his mind. It's unlikely the tieflings will welcome him back - he'll have to forge his own path now.

== Walkthrough ==
This quest appears only for those who completed [[Save the Refugees]] with the tiefling refugees and the [[Druid Grove]] protected. 

=== Speaking with the Tieflings ===
The party learns about the fate of the refugees by speaking to the survivors at Last Light Inn or by using [[Speak with Dead]] on the corpse of [[Locke]] in the [[House of Healing]]. Locke's corpse claims that [[Zevlor]] betrayed the tieflings and they had to run away. Speaking with [[Arabella]] as part of [[Find Arabella's Parents]] can elaborate on this a little more.

=== Finding Zevlor ===
Zevlor cannot be found until after [[Find Ketheric Thorm's Relic]]/[[Find the Nightsong]] is resolved and the party has left [[Shadowfell]]. This occurs towards the end of Act Two. If the party explores [[Moonrise Towers]] or [[Moonrise Towers Prison]], there is seemingly no trace of Zevlor and he isn't with the other tiefling prisoners. Within the [[Ruined Battlefield]], the remains of tiefling caravan can be found, where Zevlor attempted to force a surrender.

Zevlor can be found in the [[Mind Flayer Colony]] in the Tadpoling Centre, where he is trapped inside a Mind Flayer Pod {{Coords|694|14}}. The Neural Apparatus to open the pods, including Zevlor's, is located to the northeast of the room {{Coords|689|17}}. The party has the option to either open the pods, purge them, or leave them alone.

If the pods are purged, everyone dies, both the transformed mindflayers and those not infected yet. If the pods are opened, a battle begins between four [[Mind Flayer|Mind Flayers]] and six [[Intellect Devourer|Intellect Devourers]]. The party is joined by the uninfected, included Zevlor. After the battle, if Zevlor survives, he explains that he was called to by The Absolute and enthralled by it, as it offered him the return of his Paladin status. He feels immense regret and promises to lead the other survivors to safety, completing the quest.

== Quest Rewards ==
* Zevlor as an ally for [[Gather Your Allies]]

== Notes ==
* It is possible for Zevlor and the other survivors to turn hostile against the player if they are damaged by the player. This includes traps or environmental effects, such as [[Cloud of Daggers]]. It is recommended to not cast any spells an NPC might accidentally walk into.
