Quest text

What the quest giver says.

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

There is a champion among the loyalists, Vess-Guard Na'kal, whose strength comes not from experience or development, but from genetic modification. He was meant to be an example of the future of mantid - the sick idea that we can be born strong, without earning it. He's a mockery of my work! Gene augmentation was meant for mature, post-swarm veterans ONLY! End him. Perhaps it will serve as a lesson to Grand Empress Shek'zeer that taking shortcuts leads to ruin.
