Talk to Almira after you reach The Nameless Isle.
Almira has told us of the Black Ring Leader, The Sallow Man. We should seek out this being in his cavern lair. Should we encounter any Black Ring forces along the way, we should pretend to be her thralls.
Get Black Mirror, for example from Forktongue (lvl 16) and use it to contact The Sallow Man.
The Sallow Man wants us to bring him the head of Bishop Alexandar. We can report our success at his hidden lair, in a cavern at the base of the mountain.
Talk to Scawl of the Black Ring.
A Black Ring captain ordered us to head towards the Elf Temple in order to help with the ongoing fighting there.
We learned that the Black Ring have been using a cave near the Human Temple for supply purposes. We should investigate.
Go to the Entrance to Elven Temple. Knight of Tir-Cendelius will show up. Talk to him and ask about Alexandar.
We’ve discovered that Bishop Alexandar resides here, on the Nameless Isle, in the Temple of Tir-Cendelius.
You have to kill Bishop Alexandar.
Alexandar is dead. We should retrieve his head and make contact with the Sallow Man, either in person or by using a Black Mirror.
Loot Alexandar's Severed Head and bring it to The Sallow Man.
We brought the head of Alexandar to the Sallow Man.
Notice: *Claim your reward* will take away a random background / tag from you and replace it with new one.
We completed the Sallow Man's request. It seems that he has something we need, something important... but he won't fulfill his end of the deal just yet...
One of us ate the head of Alexandar. Now we won't be able to prove to the Sallow Man that we fulfilled his request.
The Sallow Man is dead. We cannot fulfill his request any more.
We left the Nameless Isle behind, without fulfilling the Sallow Man's demands.
