Hmmm...well...the armor is shabbier than I would have expected...the eyes don't harbor much courage...and the nose is a little off...but....

Player: "Your face is a little off."

There's no mistaking that scathing tone! I knew it was you, Player!

Lord Marchutan himself prophesized your arrival, and it seems now is the time for you to accept your destiny!

I'm sure that you have questions, but this isn't the time for answers. You need to know that Lord Marchutan has entrusted me with a piece of leg armor that is meant to be yours, but to receive it, you must first pass a test.

Player: "What's the test?"

The Empyrean Lord wants to test your bravery, Player.

I can't tell you the exact nature of the test unless you accept it.

While great courage allows us to face powerful foes, it takes more to leap into the unknown. Are you prepared to accept your destiny?

Player: Accept.

Very well. Listen closely, Player.

Proceed to Mitrakand and slaughter the Balaur. Then take the Hardened Drakscales from their corpses.

You must do this until you have become worthy of marching into battle at the side of Lord Marchutan.

When you return, bring 150,000 Kinah in addition to the scales as a donation to the Convent of Marchutan. The amount is nothing compared to the value of the leg armor the Lord has entrusted to me.

Player: "The task is mine."

Hmmm...I didn't think you'd return so soon, Player. Lord Marchutan's confidence in you may not be misplaced after all.

Do you have the Hardened Drakscales and the 150,000 Kinah?

Player: "Here--the scales and the Kinah."

150,000 Kinah is no paltry amount, Player.

Are you sure that you're willing to make this donation?

Player: "I'm sure, here's the Kinah."

You lack conviction, Player.

An Empyrean Lord may have taken a personal interest in your destiny, but you're a disappointment to my eyes. You'd never make it as a Dramata Chaser.

If you want to prove me wrong, do as I have asked. Go to the Mitrakand and slaughter the Balaur, and return with their Hardened Drakscales, and 150,000 Kinah.

Player: "I'll be back."

You've brought back the scales. Very impressive. But is it impressive enough for Lord Marchutan?

I'll consult with him to see if he believes in your strength. If he is satisfied, I'll give you the leg armor immediately. Otherwise, you have more work to do....
