Ah, the City of Cabilis, Jewel of Kunark. Anyone would want to live among its romantic canals and old-world architecture! The night life is fantastic and the stench of devotion lingers in the dense swampy air. However, gaining the trust of its citizens is no small feat.
Fortunately Trooper Mozo is just the Iksar to hook you up. He knows people --er lizards, that know people. All he asks is you play along with his challenging dare of "get some bone chips" (Be prepared to hand him several thousand, but you can rather easily max out nearly all the key faction in Cabilis with this one quest).
However, Trooper Mozo lacks one key connection: the necromancer guild aka "Brood of Kotiz". Gaining favor with them is no small feat as it seems the only practical way to do this is the kill various exiled Iksars across Kunark. It appears this is a +1 hit per kill kind of mission.
I've done some work on the Warslik's Woods NPCs for this faction (including adding the surprisingly completely missing faction hits for the Iksar Bandit Lord), but we need assistance tracking down and reporting faction numbers for the other NPC in the other zones (see Brood of Kotiz faction page for the somewhat short list of NPC you can kill, and the list of quests).
As far as the quests go, it's really easiest for an Iksar necromancer to test them, or at least someone with illusions and alliance type spells. We need verification of nearly all the quests tied to this faction. It's especially important to note the minimum faction required to get the quest, for example the early stages of the necromancer skull cap line appear to require amiable.
