Get your army back.
  • 1 of 7: You get this quest after arriving at Yorwick and hearing Sven Forkbeard's dying words.
  • 2 of 7: Since only dead people are taken to Arslegard, you're going to have to die. The simplest way is to go jump in a lake and let yourselves drown, or find a building or precipice you can jump off of (repeatedly, if necessary).
  • 3 of 7: Unfortunately, the gate guy won't let you in without a Writ of Fate, so you'll have to find one of those.
  • 4 of 7: Once you have your writ, contrive to die again so that you'll return to Arslegard. (The handy pit trap in the middle of the room you visit in the Verhoffin Ruins should work nicely.)
  • 5 of 7: Now you're free to explore Arslegard City. Find the Hall of the Gods and speak to Skraelos.
  • 6 of 7: Once Skraelos has agreed to release the armies, go talk to Sven Forkbeard, who's standing just a little ways west of the Hall of the Gods entrance teleporter.
  • 7 of 7: He'll say the Horde has made it to Frosgard by now, so tell him to take the armies there, and then Town Portal there yourself (after setting a beacon here so you don't have to die again to return, though that would work fine, too).
