Proof of Valor

I feel like true heroes have gone extinct! Back in my day the world was full of them. What's that you say? I'm hard of hearing after the recent concussion. A demon threw me to the ground so hard, I thought it was the end of me. But nope, I'm still here!

What was I talking about? Oh yes, heroes! The soldiers in the Great Astral Campaign were made of tough stuff. I myself am a veteran. Forty years ago I traveled with Nezeb and Skrakan to the June Gates. Few of us made it... We thought it was over! And demons were finally gone! But when we arrived at this allod, those hopes were shattered. Yeah...

Well, what about you? Are you ready for war? Ready to die for the freedom of the world? Or are you simply here to collect a few medals while you let others do the work? Well, I'm going to test your resolve right here and now!

Bring me three amulets from the cultists and three horns from those demons. Of course they won't part with them easily! You'll have to do some convincing! Exactly!

Then I'll know if I can count on you to get stuff done out here.

I remember getting shipwrecked around here during the Great Astral Campaign. A storm swept our ship away from the rest of the squadron and hurled it at the cliffs.

Ah, this land was very different in those days. Perhaps I'll tell you more of that story when you finish my task.

Ah, the horns and the amulets. Let me put them down right here. Hm, well I guess I can rely on you. Good to know that not all the new soldiers are wimps!

Oh yes, let me finish my story. Well, our ship was not the only one to crash against the cliffs. In fact, a Kanian vessel had also been shipwrecked. There on the shore contemplating the war I met one of the League soldiers. His name was Svarog, and we talked at length about the problems of the world.

Remember that one of the most important things in life is to know your goals. Without direction, you are doomed to fail. That is why we must identify the real threat to Sarnaut and put all our energy into stopping it!
