Disciple Z'rell is a Half-Orc Warlock who can be found in Moonrise Towers in Act 2. She is a high-ranking member of the Cult of the Absolute and a trusted advisor to Ketheric Thorm.

Involvement

Act Two

Z'rell is first encountered in the Moonrise audience chamber along with General Thorm, where they are judging the failures of the Absolute's forces from the Goblin Camp. Ultimately, Z'rell delegates their punishment to the player, and orders them to report to her afterwards. There, she assigns them the task of assisting the necromancer Balthazar in securing a relic needed by Ketheric, called the Nightsong. If the player allows Balthazar to take the Nightsong Z'rell will give a follow-up quest, Resolve the Abduction, tasking the player to assist Marcus with the abduction of Isobel.

Notable loot

•  Mind Flayer Parasite Specimen

Unlock Lann Tarv secret stash

If the dialogue option "What exactly was this relic he was sent to retrive?" doesn`t appear, cast Detect Thoughts. After choosing it, you will need to pass a "passive" Insight Check followed by a Persuasion check CD 18. If you succeed, speak with Lann Tarv with THAT SAME CHARACTER in order to unlock the secret stash.
