Sharas Kamur
Quest Offering Sharas waves you over. " (Your name) , I heard there was some trouble in Ahgram from my sister, Zenara, herself a commander in the Executors. Apparently, there is a politician named Baljir there that is rumored to be a practitioner of truly dark magic. Of even more concern, it seems he is friends with a noble named Calden here in Targonor. Calden has been acting .... oddly as of late. None of this bodes well. I want you to speak to Calden. Try to find out about his connection to Baljir." NPC Calden Calden frowns at you. "What do you want?" He pauses, and seems to recognize you. "Huh? (Your name) ?" "I'm looking into some complaints about you," you begin. "Nonsense. How dare you accuse me of corruption," Calden says, scowling. "I haven't specified the nature of the complaint yet," you reply evenly, raising an eyebrow. Calden looks flustered. "By the gods, then what do you want? Out with it." "I'm here to discuss Baljir," you say calmly. "What? I've never heard of him," Calden scoffs. "Stop lying," you bluff. "Fine! So I associate with him. I've heard the rumors, I'm not involved!" Calden retorts. "I have evidence to the contrary," you lie. A look of alarm crosses Calden's face. This might be easier than you thought. "Listen," he says, glancing around. "I don't know many of the details. In fact, I asked specifically not to know." He chuckles nervously. "But his prestige and coin were both very useful. You can't blame someone for trying to get ahead, can you?" You stare at Calden. "You're pathetic. Start talking, cooperate, and things might go easier on you." Calden swallows hard. "Alright. I admit it. Baljir needed some particular necromantic Thestran goods that are, admittedly, less than legal. So I made some arrangements." "And?" you ask, shaking your head. Calden sighs. "I told you! I didn't ask for details. All I know are the rumors. Something about..." Calden pauses, wiping his brow. "Continue," you reply firmly. "Something about the elemental forces that threaten the continent. I think it has something to do with researching their origins," Calden quickly says, unconvincingly. "I swear, I know nothing more," he pleads. "That'll be enough for now. I'll be back if I need something more. If you'll excuse me, I have to make a report," you reply, shaking your head in disgust. "No! I'm ruined!" Calden cries out, wringing his hands. Quest Completion Sharas smiles at you. "Is there nothing you can't do? I've already heard, Calden already went whining to the wrong people. Calden will be arrested. However, this problem in Ahgram is potentially serious." Sharas says, "I have to report to the King directly. Take this as my way of saying thank you. I shall see you again shortly, I'm sure."
