Sharas Kamur
Quest Offering Sharas says "Ready to get started? Good. The Gray Knights were spotted by Executors earlier in the city, and it is believed that others may have witnessed their activities. I have a list of witnesses here. I'd like you to speak to all of them and see if we can learn something." NPC Geoffery Wallsten "Rumors, rumors, rumors!" Geoffery calls out. "I'd prefer facts, but I'll take some rumors," you reply to him as you approach. He gives you a good-natured smile. "Aye, well you never know. Even the most far-fetched rumors have a grain of truth in them." You nod. "I'll get to the point. I'm looking for information on the Gray Knights." Geoffery rubs his chin. "Ah, yes. The Gray Knights. That group that is attempting a play for power by working with the undead forces of the Cartheon." You sigh. "Why has everyone heard of this before except me?" He chuckles. "I specialized in this sort of thing. Do not worry. I have heard that the Gray Knights are quite active in the city at the moment. They are searching for something. Something to bring themselves closer to the goal of working with the Cartheon." "That is not good." You shake your head. "No, it is not," Geoffery says. "I'm afraid that's the only rumor I have at the moment." "If you need more, you'll have to find one of them and ask directly," he adds jokingly. "I think I may." You grin as surprise crosses his face. Janin the Frostblade "Hm? (Your Name)? What do you want?" Janin asks, frowning. "I'm looking for information," you reply. "I'm a sellsword. I deal in body counts, not information," she says. You wave a hand dismissively. "Come now. Have you heard of the Gray Knights?" She gives you a thoughtful look. "Actually, yes. I know a few of my old 'co-workers' so to speak that went to join them." You raise an eyebrow. "Really? You had no interest though?" She laughs. "Are you serious? Only the really crazy and twisted join them. You'll notice I didn't call them my friends, though I have worked with them on other jobs." "Do you know where I can find some of these Knights? I heard they were in the city." You offer the mercenary a smile." "I suppose," she says. "If they really are stupid enough to go join the Cartheon or whatever it is they want to do, the last thing I need is people thinking I'm siding with ghouls and zombies. I'll cooperate." "I appreciate it." You nod to her. She scribbles some information on a piece of parchment, rolls it up, and hands it to you. "There you go. Good luck with this. Really. they might be weird, but those Knights are skilled too." You take the parchment and put it away. "Thank you, Janin." Luccan Bell "Luccan? Can I ask you some questions?" you ask. He gives you a curious look. "About what, (your name) ?" "Sharas Kamur of the Executors told me you might have seen some members of an organization called the Gray Knights," you respond. Luccan looks thoughtful. "Oh, yes! I know about the Gray Knights. The rogue group that is trying to make a deal with the Cartheon." "You know," he continues, "they have quite an ugly history. Most of them are military deserters or ex-bandits, notably from the Red Sparrows. In fact-" "That's great," you interrupt. "But I don't need the history lesson. I'm interested in current events. Did you see them?" Luccan nods. "I certainly did. I recognized their insignia. They were actually here to purchase some books." You frown. "Seriously? On what?" "The Cartheon Empire," the bookseller replies. "They seemed to be looking for a specific one, but they had nothing to go on. They were very intimidating, so I didn't give them any trouble." "What? They are doing book-research?" You ponder that for a moment. "Interesting. Thank you, Luccan." "But of course," he replies with a smile. Quest Completion Sharas listens to your report, looking thoughtful. "Hmm. I see. So they're meeting with the Cartheon soon? And looking for a book or artifact possibly? We'll see about that." She hands you a few items. "Take these. You might need them."
