Salanar the Horseman at Death's Breach has challenged you to slay the Dark Rider of Acherus and take his Acherus Deathcharger.
Should you succeed, return the Acherus Deathcharger to Death's Breach and use the Horseman's Call to summon Salanar.
Description
The horse you stole has been taken to the Realm of Shadows. It is there that my dark rider will slay the beast and raise it as a deathcharger. Do you think yourself brave enough to enter the Realm of Shadows in pursuit of the deathcharger?
If you accept, I will transport you to the shadow world. Once there, seek out a dark rider in the open fields south of us. To emerge victorious you must slay him, overtake his deathcharger and return it to Death's Breach. Issue the Horseman's Call should you succeed.
Completion
You have succeeded where most initiates fail, <name>. For that you will be rewarded handsomely.
<Salanar bows.>
Reward
Once you enter the realm of shadows (the screen darkens and turns almost black and white after you accept the quest), head down the hill to the east, past the skeletal gryphon taxis.
Locate a Dark Rider of Acherus nearby and attack him. One of the nearby dark apparitions will probably pull with him. Ignore it until the Rider is dead, then kill an adds you've attracted.
When the Dark Rider dies, his mount will remain standing there. Once you are out of combat, right-click the horse to mount it. Once you are on the horse you have a single ability:
Ride back up to Death's Breach. Once inside the camp, use the Horseman's Call ability to summon Salanar to the realm of shadows and complete the quest. You will then be sent back into the normal realm. Find Salanar and turn in the quest.
Enjoy your shiny new Acherus Deathcharger!
