To complete A Frightened Request in WoW Forever, find Edward Heartweaver's body near Rath'mael in Ruins of Lordaeron, then report to Tabitha Heartweaver at The Sepulcher in Silverpine Forest. The hand-in is back in Silverpine, even if you accepted the quest through a party share during the dungeon.
Where to start A Frightened Request
Speak to Tabitha Heartweaver beside The Sepulcher's flight path in Silverpine Forest, at approximately 44.6, 42.8. This is a Horde dungeon quest with a minimum character level of 15 and a listed quest level of 22; you can share it with your party.
Tabitha wants you to discover what happened to her husband after he went searching the ruined city's graveyard for their missing son. The objective is an investigation inside Ruins of Lordaeron.

Ruins of Lordaeron entrance location
Ruins of Lordaeron is a five-player dungeon in the surface ruins above Undercity, in Tirisfal Glades. From Brill, travel south along the road, enter the city gate and remain above ground rather than descending in the elevators.

The portal is in the front courtyard, up a short staircase behind an iron portcullis, on your left after entering through the gate.
The entrance is around 63.1, 67.5 on the Tirisfal map, or 72.4, 11.5 on the Undercity map; another entrance coordinate is 71.6, 11.4, labeled Tirisfal Glades.
If you arrive by flight, the Undercity bat handler is in the ruins behind the throne room; walk around that room toward the front courtyard. Orcs and trolls can reach Tirisfal by zeppelin from Orgrimmar, while tauren travel to Orgrimmar first.
How to reach Edward Heartweaver's body
Edward lies in Lordaeron Graveyard near Rath'mael, beyond the earlier streets and courtyards. Use this route through the instance:
- Enter King's Alley: Descend from the courtyard using the eastern ramp and stairs, then clear along the spider corridor where Witherfang patrols. Pull packs back into cleared space to avoid catching the boss alongside another group.
- Reach The Baron: Pass the webbed gate through the window on its right; beyond the Ghostly Citizens, take the western passage past the skeleton packs.
- Cross into Lordamere Overlook: Behind The Baron, climb the broken pillar and hop over the low wall; dismiss your pet before this shortcut because it cannot follow the jump. Continue through the empty house, using the broken ballista beyond it as a landmark for your return.
- Continue toward Market Street: Follow the right side of the overlook; the burned house used for Viktor the Vile's event is farther along, and the passage back toward Market Street leads to the statue event for The Abandoned.
- Pass Bjork's patrol: Leave The Abandoned's courtyard via the narrow stairs, turn right and jump through the large window. From the patrol area, head toward the graveyard gates.
- Find Edward: Enter the fenced graveyard containing Rath'mael's summoning circle and move to Edward's body nearby. Clear the nearby trash and stand directly over the body to receive investigation credit.
We'd use the full clearing route for a first visit: the spider patrols and Flesh Golems can catch your group between pulls, and the graveyard approach requires going around rather than entering when you first see it from the overlook.
Where to turn in A Frightened Request
After receiving credit, leave the instance and return to Tabitha at The Sepulcher, the same NPC who starts the quest. There is no quick exit from the graveyard; the route out takes you back through the ruins.
The A Frightened Request turn-in in WoW Forever can be confusing when a quest helper highlights Undercity: players reported that behavior after sharing the quest, but the destination is Tabitha in Silverpine Forest.
Rewards: Edward's Knife or Tabitha's Cuffs
You choose one of these items at the hand-in, and completing the quest grants 150 Undercity reputation.
| Reward choice | Item ID |
| Edward's Knife | 251485. |
| Tabitha's Cuffs | 251486. |
Other Horde quests to take on the same run
The Wrath of Rath'mael
On live servers, you must finish a prerequisite chain before Deathguard Kristof offers The Wrath of Rath'mael. Start with Rear Guard Patrol from Deathguard Linnea in Tirisfal Glades, around 65.4, 60.2 or 65.6, 60.2.
- Complete the objective to defeat 8 Bleeding Horror and Wandering Spirit enemies.
- Defeat Riptear, a level 13 elite, to finish the prerequisite work.
- Accept the dungeon quest from Deathguard Kristof on the Brill–Undercity road, approximately 65.2, 60.2.
- Kill Rath'mael in the graveyard, then return to Kristof at his roadside location.
This pairs naturally with Edward's investigation because both objectives lead to the graveyard.
Light's Justice
Collect Light's Justice from Morbin Lightbane in Undercity, at 57.8, 89.8, in the Apothecarium. Gather 25 Intact Limbs from undead inside the dungeon.
We'd prioritize this extra pickup if your preparation time is short: its collection happens during the dungeon, while The New Plague requires a lengthy outdoor chain with low drop rates before you can accept it.
The New Plague
The dungeon quest from Theodore Griffs now requires a three-part prerequisite chain across Tirisfal Glades and Silverpine Forest. Its starting point is Apothecary Renferrel in Silverpine Forest, 42.8, 40.8.
- Collect six quest items from bears and spiders, then deliver them in Undercity; the items have low drop rates.
- Return to southern Silverpine and take a book from an elite area; looting it requires a five-second cast.
- Gather the items that have a low chance to drop, which you can get from creatures of level 18 found by the lake.
- After completing the chain, visit Theodore Griffs at 46.6, 71.8 in Undercity to accept The New Plague.
Inside Ruins of Lordaeron, kill Witherfang and loot the Highly Toxic Strain for this quest. He patrols King's Alley with two smaller spiders; clear nearby packs before engaging him.
Quests that begin inside
Unending Torment begins with the Abominable Head dropped by The Baron. Its follow-up work takes place in Undercity:
- Bring the head to Master Apothecary Faranell in the Apothecarium.
- Bring them to the Unfinished Abomination, Othmar's corpse, located in the room beyond this one.
- Speak with the head and report to Faranell; this step awards your choice of a ring, cloak or two-handed sword.
- Pick up a Toxic Skullcap from the Trade Quarter, Blisterweed growing beside the herbalism instructor, and Essence of Agony bought from the poison merchant in the Rogues' Quarter.
- Use the Hissing Serum in the system above Othmar's body to finish the chain.
Crest of Lordaeron starts from an object with several possible locations inside the ruins. Search behind the banshee door near The Baron, the watchtower beyond Witherfang, the upper walkways, and the wall of the small temple beyond Bjork. Horde characters deliver it to Oran Snakewrithe in Undercity.
