"What brings you to my home, ______? Do you seek knowledge of Rallos Zek and the great wars to come?"
"So, Kargek sent you. How is my dear brother? If you come to me with this book then you must be interested in the scabbard. Take this totem and return to me with it and the heart of frost from the goblins of permafrost. Do not return until this task is accomplished."
"Very good, you have wreaked havoc on your foes in the ancient land of the giants. Rallos Zek must have guided your blade. (Tenal's voice is suddenly silenced and you feel as if your body is frozen. From Tenal's lips issues a voice that is not his own.) 'Bring this mortal the scales of the children of Veeshan. The red and green as well as my war totem. I will guide your blade.' Your movement returns as Tenal falls to the ground, gasping for breath."
"What are..? 'You have done well, mortal, and you will be rewarded if you are truly brave. Travel to the Plane of Hatred and slay the ancient bard who lives there. Do not return without his hand and this mark or you will never be a true warlord.' Tenal drops to the ground as the last words leave his lips."
