Manik Compolten, Ak'Anon

Verant/SOE

"Greetings, young one. I am Manik Compolten, High Watchman. Are you a [new warrior] or an [experienced fighter]?"

"It is always good to see new blood amongst the Gemchoppers. I have a small task for you. Take this keycard. I will give you only one at a time. Use each to obtain blackboxes for the C series clockworks. I am sure you are familiar with the clockworks. When you are done, bring them all to me. Let me know if you need another keycard."

"Good. I require your talents to destroy rogue clockworks. After we sent the clockworks to destroy the Asylum of the Mad we found some of the clockworks went haywire and never returned. We must destroy them, not for the safety of the people, but to keep our technology from falling into the hands of any other nation. Go to the Steamfont Mountains and return their rogue blackboxes to me."

"The clockworks were developed by the Eldritch Collective. They are used as our policing force in Ak'Anon. They come in many series. The letter following their number is the series model."

"Ah! Excellent work! I think we may have further use for you if you like."

"Ah!! I see you had no problem finding all of the C series clockworks. Good work. Here. Take this blackbox. We received it from Clockwork 27C. Take it to Jogl Doobraugh. He is the operator of the only blackbox definer in Ak'Anon. He is out at the windmills checking on their operation."

"What's this? You've found and smashed Red V?! Amazing! Wonderful! Take this as a sign of my thanks!"
