Quest text

What the quest giver says.

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

It troubles me that Dezran would sacrifice himself so willingly for Sarkareth... And that Amythora and Marithos would leave Dezran to save him. We both know the loss of waking in a new world. But Sarkareth wallows in the darkness of our past. I cannot let him continue to recruit our people. Sarkareth awaits in the next room. I do not wish to kill him, but we must bring him to justice. Let me know when you are ready.
