Quest text

What the quest giver says.

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

Strategically, control of a region requires constant observation. See here on this map - I've identified a number of strategic hills, similar to this one, that the Alliance must acquire if we are to keep the enemy under our thumb. My scouts have already marked their location on the field. What I need is someone to spearhead their capture, and you're the man for the job. Seek out neutral grey flags on hills to the north, east, and south of the Taurajo Ruins. Capture one and defend it!
