Quest text

What the quest giver says.

‹name›, ‹class› and ‹race› stand for your character’s.

They taught us at officers camp to always cut off the head of the snake. Seemed dumb considering we never fought any snakes, but I guess it kind of makes sense now. Take your men in there and kill Lord Kassarus.
