Levied Tax

The village's tax levy has been stolen! The principal has implored me to find the thieves and return the tax money to Senator Gracchus, but the Guard wouldn't let me through. Now I'm supposed to go to the Drunken Elf tavern and wait there for Gracchus.

Inside the "Drunken Elf", a man named Liosilath told me the so-called taxes were really just a bribe and that the entire government is corrupt. He said if I wanted to do some good, I should give the jewels to some teachers on the northwestern edge of town. He also hinted at more adventure if I meet him at the Academy afterwards.

I gave the jewels to the teacher. Made me feel good, actually, I think I'll head back to the Academy and see what Liosilath has in mind.

Through the Wall

Liosilath said the war is bigger than just the clergy and nobility. He's sent me to track an expedition that got lost in the Orc regions. But first I've got to find the secret tunnel into the Human territories. What a strange man - very down to earth. He seems more likely to spend his time drinking beer in the local pub than leading a movement to fight evil.

I have arrived at the wall. One of Liosilath's contacts has given me access to the secret tunnel. This tunnel is below the wall that separates Elven And Human territories.

Long trip, but I found the tunnel. Who knows what's on the other side. Deep breath. I'm ready to go.

Chapter 2 - Artamark

Beyond the Wall

The innkeeper in the Human Village gave me some valuable information. According to him the Elven expedition started out from this village several months ago. They hired a man called Jaftar as a guide. He lives in a small village not far to the west. I should go there and see if I can find out something more.

I found the guide of the lost expedition. Apparently his transport service wasn't limited to expeditions - he was taking some girls to Thylysium as I approached, he attacked me and I had to kill him.

One of the captured girls told me that another man is behind the Human trafficking. Apparently her sister knows who it is, but she is severely ill and probably die soon. The girl I rescued begged me to find a Scroll of Release in order to save her sister's soul. I should be able to obtain such a scroll at the local healer's.

I received a Scroll of Release from the healer. Now I must take it to the dying girl.

To my surprise, the girl recovered. She thinks I cured her, but I didn't do anything! Apparently the man behind all this is named Enadris and he lives in Orcish Byway. If I want to help the girls, I have to go there and stop him. Also, if he traffics in Humans, he might know the fate of the Elven expedition.

Gar'Colossus

I found the broker scared witless. A Golem was attacking the town, and he said if I killed it, he'd stop the slave trafficking.

The Gar'Colossus has been dealt with. Time to focus my attention on the broker again.

After I killed Gar'Colossus, the broker gave me his word that the women in his region would be safe from now on. He said he'd seen a Golem like this before, in a place where the Orcs say "The magic flows from the earth." That's where the Elven expedition was heading. He also said a strange man was waiting for me at the academy. Sounds like Liosilanth is in town.

The Golem I killed seems to be a giant version of earth elementals that constantly spawn from a magic pool. The Orcs use the area as a ritual fighting ground for their young warriors.

Liosilath claims that there are more of these sites and he would like to learn more about them. At the same time I have to find the lost expedition and attempt to help the Grurag-Clan. Not much on my plate then! I hope I will be able to handle it all.

Chapter 3 - Nor Plat

Among Orcs

I arrived at the place where "the magic flows from the earth". An Orc told me to enter the fighting area and prove my skills by killing the earth elementals. Maybe they will accept me when I am successful.

I have killed enough Earth Elementals. Let's hope that the Orc is satisfied now.

I am supposed to speak to a wise female. Hopefully, she will be as wise as they claim her to be.

The Orc Elder was a strange old lady. She acknowledged I was a good fighter and claimed that she could somehow look inside my head. Anyway, the she made me an honorary member of the Grurag Clan, and now I can travel through the Orc territory without being attacked by Orcs from my own clan.

If I want to achieve anything I will have to talk to the Clan chiefs. My new brother-in-arms tells me that I will be allowed to speak to the leader of the Clan if I can prove my worth in battle. Trolls are attacking a village of the Clan in the west. Killing several of them will be sufficient proof of my abilities and reliability.

"I found the place where the Trolls are attacking the Orcs. The local clan chief told me to kill ten of them and bring back their teeth as proof.

The Trolls are dead and I removed their teeth. Now I have to bring them back to the Orc chief in the village.

The necklace is being made, I must be patient.

The Orc chief made a necklace from the teeth and now I must take it to his superior in a village north of here. It is supposed to be proof that I am great fighter and that he is doing well against the Trolls.

When I got to the village, the local Orc chief told me that they are being attacked by Ore-Thag Clan. Let's see what the chief has to say now.

The Orc chief seemed very happy with my success. Apparently I have earned the right to meet the great leader of our clan himself."

Wet Danger

I finally met the clanleader of the Grurag Clan. He says the clans have called a temporary truce to try and solve a problem. Something has blocked the river that flows through the region, backing it up into a lake. A water monster called Octagolamus has risen up out of this lake and it is attacking the members of all the clans. It has become a point of honor to see who can kill the monster, and whichever clan succeeds will become extremely influential in the Orcs' society. The clanleader confided in me that he believes the monster is strong only in the water and on swampy ground. Where the ground is dry, it's weaker and slower. I must escort a shaman to the river. He will perform a magic ritual to run dry the well.

We have arrived at the spring. The shaman will now attempt to dry out the spring with his magic ritual. I better stand aside and let him get on with it.

The shaman dried out the spring. Now let's see how strong the Octagolamus is with dry feet.

I did it! The Octagolamus is dead! This should make me popular with the clanleader!

The clanleader was ecstatic that I killed the monster, because it has earned the Grurag Clan a lot of respect. This might even bring and end to the war between the Orcs.

As a reward, he told me where the Elves of the lost expedition are being held and he said I could set them free. So I have finally found them! Now I need to know what they have learned!

Unfortunately, the Elves didn't learn very much about the magic leaks before they were captured. All they could tell me is that the leaks are coming from a network of ancient pipelines. The only ones who might know more about this are the Seraphim. I suppose I will be on my way to the angels then.
