Quest text

What the quest giver says.

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

Many years ago, a corrupted nightsaber hunted my people. Our chieftain, Dorro Highmountain, took Talonclaw and pursued the beast, but never returned. I have heard tales of a fearsome nightsaber that now stalks the mists of Stormheim. My brother and I believe this to be our ancient foe. The weapon must be there too! If we kill the beast and reclaim the spear, it will be of great use against the Legion.
