Quest text

What the quest giver says.

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

<You hear a buzzing in your ear.> ‹name›. It sounds like you and Ariok have finished with your tasks. I've also finished mine. Return to Flame Crest. I've prepared a few packages to deliver to the Big Three: Thorg'izog, Neeralak, and Xi'lun. You've already met General Thorg'izog. This will be your chance to meet the other two. That is, before you kill them.
