just made my first DK char, and started the quests in the noob area. Got through Grand Theft Palomino and, although the quest list still shows a bunch of quests from givers in the noob area, I have no yellow question marks above anyone, other than the spirit rezzer. The Crypt of Rememberance quest listed from the prince is the middle of a quest chain that starts with Gothik the Harvester. Death's Challenge seems to be a pre-req for this chain, but there are no other chains in the keep or outside. Is Death's Challenge a pre-req for all of the quests?
