Invaders of the Holy Land

Do you think that I, Varkees, Chief of the Atuba tribe, would seek the help of a race of weaklings?! Get out of my sight!

(Only Orcs may undertake this quest.)

The almighty Flame Lord has ordered me to defeat the Rakeclaw Imps. Have you ever encountered those disgusting creatures? They are an abomination! Spawned from the blackest magic, their very existence defiles our sacred lands.

But they are too cowardly to face us alone -- there must be someone or something else controlling them. I have pledged to the Flame Lord that I will find out the truth, no matter what!

(Only characters who are level 6 and above may undertake this quest.)

The almighty Flame Lord has ordered me to wipe those disgusting Rakeclaw Imps from the face of the earth! Have you ever encountered those disgusting creatures? They are an abomination! Spawned from the blackest magic, their very existence defiles our sacred lands.

But they are too cowardly to face us alone -- there must be someone or something else controlling them. According to our seers, a jeweled Soulstone is embedded in each of their black hearts. This Soulstone enslaves its victim to the will of another.

The seers also believe that if we gather enough Soulstones, we will be able to turn their own powers against them and discover who is controlling the Imps. I therefore charge you with the task of slaying these filthy Imps and bringing me the Soulstones embedded in their hearts!

• Obey his orders.

Tejakar Pa'agrio! Then go at once and defeat the Rakeclaw Imps, collect their Soulstones and return here to me! I, Varkees, pledge to reward you for every Soulstones you bring.

But listen well! Although the Soulstones are originally red, they turn black when they assimilate with the host. Most of the Soulstones you find will have already turned black, but some of the stronger-willed Imps may still have Red Soulstones. Bring me a Red Soulstone and I will give you an even greater reward!

Young Orc, why have you not kept your promise to me?! Leave here at once and slay the Rakeclaw Imps who have invaded our land, then bring me the Soulstones embedded in their craven hearts!

• Tell him you wish to stop hunting.
• Promise to continue hunting.

Tejakar Pa'agrio! You have done well, young Orc. Though you have not found a Red Soulstone, the Black Soulstones you have brought will help us discover who or what is controlling these vile Imps!

As promised, I will reward you for each of the Soulstones you have brought. If you wish to continue to aid us, I will reward you further.

• Tell him you wish to stop hunting.
• Promise to continue hunting.

Tejakar Pa'agrio! Ah, the Red Soulstone! Well done, young Orc. With this, the seers will be able to use their magic to discover who or what is controlling these vile Imps.

Now, as promised, I will reward you for each of the Soulstones you brought. May Pa'agrio smile upon your valor! Will you continue to cleanse our lands of these vermin?

• Tell him you wish to stop hunting.
• Promise to continue hunting.

Stop?! Our vengeance against these creatures has just begun, and already you wish to sheathe your weapons and creep away from the field of battle! Are you frightened?

Young Orc, you dishonor yourself, your tribe and our entire race! Death first!

Now the seers and I will cast a spell to discover who is controlling these Imps. Meanwhile, you must continue to uphold the honor of our race. Tejakar Pa'agrio!
