Quests Started Inside Stratholme Undead
There is only 1 quest that is started inside this wing of the dungeon and it follows on directly from a quest that is completed in the Live wing.
Aurius himself is found just at the start of the Undead wing, but
his first quest, The Medallion of Faith will task you with retrieving the
Medallion of Faith from a chest that is found just behind
Malor the Zealous.
Once you have brought this back to Aurius, you will receive the Medallion and Aurius' Reckoning. You will then need to kill Baron Rivendare and Aurius will come to aid you. After the Baron is dead, you can hand in the quest.
