Wortham Villager Corpse

Found at the north of the Northern Highlands on the courtyard just before Leoric's Hunting Grounds.[e]
Part	Text	Found on Quest
1	Mistress, It is my pleasure to report that I have broken the prisoners from Wortham. Words have flowed from their mouths like blood from a wound! Our summoners can retrieve the weapon at your command, and the enemy shall be none the wiser. -- Dark Cultist	Any

Command from Cultist Grand Inquisitor[edit | edit source]

Musty Lecturn

Found in the Halls of Agony below Leoric's Manor in Act I on a Musty Lectern.[e]
Part	Text	Found on Quest
1	I need more bodies! You think my summoners can just conjure up a demon whenever it pleases them? We must have blood -- fresh blood, mind you -- and human flesh to bolster our magic. I will be expecting a reply from you shortly. -- Grand Inquisitor	Any

Reply from Cultist Grand Inquisitor[edit | edit source]

Musty Lecturn

Found in the Halls of Agony below Leoric's Manor in Act I on a Musty Lecturn.[e]
Part	Text	Found on Quest
1	Of all the abominable stalling! In case it was not clear, I need the sacrifices now. I have heard enough of your idle complaints that the villagers have fled from the Highlands, leaving no one left to sacrifice. You'd best come up with something, or it's your hide we'll be flaying. -- Grand Inquisitor	Any

Queen Asylla's execution

Found in The Cursed Hold after watching the replay of Queen Azylla's beheading.[e]
Part	Text	Found on Quest
1	The time my lord's true awakening is at hand. That fool Leoric was only able to resist him because he did not yet possess his full power. With the queen dispatched as a traitor, I may now devote myself fully to preparing the boy for the presence of my master... -- Archbishop Lazarus	Any
