Quest text

What the quest giver says.

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

I need you to fetch me some time-lost essence. The creatures around here are filled to the brim with the stuff. Snuff them out and then use this epoch extractor to collect their essence. We'll make good use of it for our next step! And yes, this is going to be a multi-step process. You know how crazy these time shenanigans get!
