Quest text

What the quest giver says.

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

Lord Stormsong has never taken kindly to dissent, but this is madness. These laborers are being worked to death! Addington was a good man. We cannot stand for such cruelty. Take this vial and apply it to the laborers. It contains blessed seawater that will rejuvenate their strength. Avoid engaging what troops you can. They are merely following orders. More death will only worsen matters.
