About Death Shepherds[edit | edit source]
Two Death Shepherds can be found leading a swarm of ghouls along the Rosymorn Monastery Trail. Another can be found in the Moonrise Towers Prison during the assault on Moonrise Towers, and a fourth appears in the Necrotic Laboratory within the Mind Flayer Colony. A unique Death Shepherd named Garret Dortmell can appear in the Lower City Graveyard if the player character helps Nina Dortmell resurrect him.
