Tirdir is a kidnapping victim found at the Athkatla Graveyard.

“	*cough* Oh... bless you, my <LADYLORD>, bless you! *cough* I did not know how much longer I would survive buried in there as I was!	”
— Tirdir

Gameplay

When walking through the Graveyard District you might eventually see an open grave near the Northeastern District Exit. You will "hear" a "moaning" coming from the grave ^(950.660) area, which is to say, Floating Text (and a Status Message if the "Duplicate Floating Text" option is enabled):

"Nearby you see an open grave. A chill runs up your spine as you hear a sound emit from it. You shake your head and continue walking. The sound is clearer now. You are not imagining it. Muffled cries for help are coming from the grave."

Investigating the grave (by hovering the mouse over it and clicking) will lead to the protagonist helping Tirdir climb out of the grave.

"The grave is only partially filled. The grave keeper must be lazy. Within a few minutes you have reached the coffin. You open it to find a corpse and a man who is quite obviously alive. You help him out of the coffin."

The unfortunate man claims he was attacked by unknown assailants, drugged and then dragged to this area, where he was left for dead in the grave.

Tirdir doesn't know his attackers but he has some clues to their identity: a piece of cloth he tore from one of the kidnappers and the faint memory of having heard them talk to the Grave keeper.

Note: If the only party member(s) nearby are in Stealth Mode or invisibility, Tirdir cannot give you the piece of cloth, perhaps interfering with finishing the quest.
