Quest text

What the quest giver says.

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

Your effort has made something clear that, honestly, I wish were not true. The unchecked power of the Burning Crystals has maligned a much larger swath of the isle's natural balance than I thought. We must now take on more unfortunate measures to reclaim control. The nearby lynxes have succumbed to the influence of the crystals, and they must be put down. Bring their collars, ‹name›, as I may yet be able to fashion a magical restraint to turn some back from being uncontrolled.
