Quest text

What the quest giver says.

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

Alright ‹name›, this is the second time we've had to deal with ravaging hozen. I think it's time we take care of this problem the Huojin way. No more patience. No more mediation. We go to the source. We're going into the hozen village to the north and we're punishing those smelly troublemakers. I've been looking forward to a chance to fight by your side again, ‹name›.
