this quest in Vanilla you have the Option to keep the trinket, or try to free Eranikus’s soul.
You hand the essance to Itharius in the cave in Swamp of sorrow and if you choose to free his soul you are sent to wintersprings and the quest dies.
the quest was never completed and it has bothed me for the last 16-18 years that i couldn’t save him.
I accidently used the trinket once and hearing Eranikus cry out in pain from using it broke my teenage heart a bit.
If any dev feels like it i would really appricate being able to save that big green bro Eranikus.
Much love Elvo
