In Xarabydun:

Master Craftsman Takahume tells you, "Greetings!"
Master Craftsman Takahume tells you, "I am Master Craftsman Takahume, and I had been tasked with the reconstruction of the large and impressive Gear Knight Primus standing beside me. Now that he is complete, and once again functional, we are collecting further pieces, to be sure that he keeps operating at peak efficiency."
Master Craftsman Takahume tells you, "To this end, I am rewarding adventurers for the collection of Aetherium Power Cores, Aetherium Ore, and Gears from the invading Gear Knights found in either the Direlands, or along the coast of the eastern shore of the Inner Sea."
Master Craftsman Takahume tells you, "If you wish to assist us, just bring me whatever Aetherium Cores, pieces of Aetherium Ore, or Gear Knight Gears you find, and we will reward you when you've contributed different set amounts of parts."

Merkitz ibn'Akadh tells you, "Good day to you. I have managed to craft a portal spell to the Invasion area in the Direlands."
Merkitz ibn'Akadh tells you, "If you wish, for the small fee of an MMD note, i can summon a portal to that location for you."
Merkitz ibn'Akadh tells you, "Be warned, however, you must be at least 150th level to use the portal I crafted."

Atamarr tells you, "I have a task in which you may be able to aid me. I have managed to subvert a small number of Gear Knights in the Iron Blade's invasion, and they have identified a Gear Knight in a position of influence within the forces whose loss would slow the expansion of the Iron Blade"
Atamarr tells you, "There is an Iron Blade Warmaster who has recently arrived from our home realm. My spies tell me that he is a gifted tactician, and if his skills were given time to be exercised, it could spell trouble for us."
Atamarr tells you, "You will find the Warmaster deep within the excavations that the Iron Blade have made in the heart of the area they control in the Direlands."
Atamarr tells you, "I would expect he will not be easy to kill, so take care in this mission. I have also been told that he stays on the move, speaking with the troops and formulating plans, so he may be difficult to find. Search in the deepest areas of the excavation, and I am sure you'll find him soon enough. Once he is dead, return to me."

Kaytin tells you, "It is an honor to speak with you, small one. I am Kaytin, one of Atamarr's entourage, as well as his acting supply officer."
Kaytin tells you, "In Atamarr's quest to rebuild and maintain the rest of our companions, I have been given the task of collecting parts retrieved from those Gear Knights who are acting against this place and its people."
Kaytin tells you, "To this end, I am rewarding adventurers for the collection of Aetherium Power Cores, Aetherium Ore, and Gears from the invading Gear Knights found in either the Direlands, or along the coast of the eastern shore of the Inner Sea. If they wish to present themselves as enemies to the peoples of this land, they can at least be put to more productive use in deactivation."
Kaytin tells you, "If you wish to assist us, just bring me whatever Aetherium Cores, pieces of Aetherium Ore, or Gear Knight Gears you find, and we will reward you when you've contributed different set amounts of parts."
Kaytin tells you, "Also, if you are willing, I have a secondary task for you. The Iron Blade invasion in the Direlands will have a storage box placed deep in their defenses. It is common for their House to hide updates, orders, etc. in these boxes, where they will go unnoticed by invading forces."
Kaytin tells you, "Acquisition for me one of these boxes, and I will see what we can learn about their plans and reasonings in this invasion."
