Description

"It's said that the wasteland lions' fur produces some of the best fleece in all of Qalia. Of course, the most valuable fibers come from the alpha male." "I'll be able to sell any that I have collected for top sovereign when I travel to Thestra." "If you gather some fine fleece from the wasteland lions, and one exquisite fleece from the pride's alpha male, I'll pay a fair price to take them off your hands. The pride is located just north of here, amidst a grouping of tall, spire-like rocks."

"Well met, traveler. You've come upon a strange affair. There is no doubt about it." "The merchant caravan we were guarding came under attack by scorpions. Rather than stand their ground and trust in us to defend them, they ran away, leaving us to die, or so they thought." "So now my men and I have started to debate whether we should return the goods to the cowardly merchants, or enjoy the spoils ourselves. Surely none could argue we don't deserve them." "Perhaps you can help us reach a decision."
