Lore & Dialog

Speaking with Talira Dain:
Talira Dain tells you, "Maybe you have heard of my husband, Gareth Dain?"
Talira Dain tells you, "He hunted these lands looking for treasure and glory, but three years ago he failed to return home. I could find nothing else to explain his disappearance, then one year ago a warrior told me that he had seen Gareth shortly before he went missing. The man said that Gareth had been fighting a group of Sclavus in the crater hills somewhere around here."
Talira Dain tells you, "I moved to Candeth Keep with the hope that I could find clues to tell me what had happened to Gareth. Recently my husband's dear friend Dalius found a Temple in a crater west of here."
Talira Dain tells you, "He says that the crater was filled with a howling sandstorm. He bravely fought his way to the eye of the storm to find a Temple protected by Sclavus. I am sure that this must be the same temple that my husband was last seen at."
Talira Dain tells you, "Please, go and find out what happened to my husband. I just need to know what really happened."

Speaking with Dalius Kendmar:
Dalius Kendmar tells you, "Hello friend, did Lady Dain ask you to speak with me?"
Dalius Kendmar tells you, "I must ask a favor of you. I recently discovered something while searching for my long lost friend Gareth Dain."
Dalius Kendmar tells you, "I was exploring the wastelands west of here when a giant sandstorm blew in out of nowhere. It stung my face and made it almost impossible to breathe, but I forced my way onward. I eventually came to a calm at the center of the storm where I found an ancient temple. When I approached the structure a great number of Sclavus sprung from the sands and attacked, forcing me to retreat."
Dalius Kendmar tells you, "I have told Lady Dain what I discovered and we believe that this is the very Sclavus Temple that Gareth was last seen at. I do not however hold her belief that her husband still lives. She has obsessed over his disappearance for three years now and I dearly wish to see her mourning end."
Dalius Kendmar tells you, "Do her a noble deed and find proof of her husband's death. I am sure that my friend Gareth would have come back if humanly possible, so I know him to be dead. I ask of you to be sure that you bring only proof of his death, she has suffered enough and I could not bear to see her suffering continue. Do this for me and I will reward you."

Speaking with Dalius and Talira again:
Dalius Kendmar tells you, "I have told you of the temple to the west. Search for a great sandstorm and find it's eye."
Dalius Kendmar tells you, "Lady Dain may be able to tell you something of use, but I warn you not to cause her undo stress."
