Quest Issue: Deepwater Knights

[Rainflush]

My level 60 Erudite Paladin of Prexus is having some trouble with his own faction, the Deepwater Knights. I had assumed Inte Akera would recognize one of his own and no faction work would be necessary to complete with Fiery Avenger quest, as it turns out this is not the case, as Akera simply ate SoulFire without a word (which Sirken fortunately restored). As silly as it seemed to build my own faction in order to complete the quest, I went to back to Odus to do just that. After killing Elial Brook and Aglthin Dasmore perhaps a dozen times each, I went to Erudin to try the Odus Pearls quest only to find that Weligon Steelherder (a Deepwater trainer) apparently didn't trust me enough to issue the quest (he says something to that effect when I mentioned "Deepwater tasks").

I have never done anything to diminish my faction standing with the Deepwater Knights, and at this point I suspect there is something amiss with the basic faction standing of Erudite Paladins (at least those who follow Prexus).

Thanks.
