Overview

Drawn from Lenarsk, The Bloodfields npc dialogue.EQ1Primary · mirrored · best available source

"Hail to you stranger. Though I must be careful, I now know that you are sympathetic to our plight. I, Lenarsk, was a most-favored tailor to the nobles and famous hunters. They would come from far away seeking my shop, clamoring for my wares. But alas, the Muramites changed all of this when they infected our lands. Fate can be harsh at times. And yet here you are. Perhaps our mutual goals will encourage us to walk the same [path] together."

"By now it is apparent that I hold no favor toward those Muramites and I also know that you don't look upon them kindly either. Therefore, I have a proposition for you. I know that you alone will not be enough to rid our lands of these invaders, but any sorrow you can cause them will bring me unending joy. Help me in my cause to wound the Muramites and I will repay your courageous deeds with some of my unfulfilled [orders]."

"Why, as I said, customers from many lands would seek me out to create handsome one-of-a-kind pieces. I'm sure I still have a few of these left waiting for owners that will never arrive. Yes, I believe I have something for your [head], [arms], [wrists], [hands], [chest], [legs], and [feet]. I will give these to you if you help me."

"I have a wonderfully woven cap that was meant for the son of a noble. Alas, both father and son fell victim to the wicked Muramites and were forcibly marched through the causeway to their deaths. In exchange for the cap, I seek the walking stick of a certain dragorn elder that also perished during the march. I have heard rumors that the stick was enchanted such that were it to be lost it would find its way back to its owner. You must bring back Patorav's walking stick to me. Also, the Muramite guards that gleefully killed our leaders were given awards. Find me two Muramite Noble's March awards as well."

"When the Muramites invaded, some took over my shop and either stole or destroyed everything. Why, I even lost a beautiful leather pouch I had been creating for one in my family. I can't stand the thought of that Muramite with a gift meant for a loved one. Please return this pouch to me so I know that my hard work did not benefit one as evil as a Muramite. I also ask of you to bring me back two spiked discordling collars so I know that at least some of those that destroyed my shop have been dealt with."

"Very little is known to us about the riftseekers. We do know they do wield powerful magic that can create portals that have appeared in our lands. I believe they are wholly creatures of magic. I have heard whispers that the heart of these beings is not the heart of a mundane beast. No, in fact, I have heard that their heart is pure magic. Bring me one of these hearts so I may find out if any of the magic within it may be used to enchant the pieces of leather raiment I create. In addition I am running low on quality feran hides so I will need you to bring me back a couple of those as well."

"I have a pair of gloves that has the suppleness of leather, but the strength of iron! I am willing to part with these if you retrieve an artifact. Find the axe that was once wielded by Makyah the Fierce. Never did a more magnificent warrior stride the field of battle and when he was lost, so was a large portion of my people's hopes. Return the axe to me so that once my people see that it was found, we may find the hope and courage necessary to defeat our foes. You will also need to bring me two fine chimera hides so I may craft a sheath worthy of an axe wielded by a legend."
