Hey, Player. Are you headed to the Latheron Coast?

It used to be called the Latheron Straits, though there's nothing there now but sand and the ghost of a long-dead sea.

Player: "Have you ever been there?"

Yes, once. It was beautiful then.

Honestly, the only reason anyone ever goes there now is to get to Bab-el-Madeb. There's still some water there thanks to the geysers, though it's nothing like it once was.

The Coast has become a dangerous place, full of ravening beasts who prey on any travelers they find. Even Daevas are not immune to the danger they represent.

Now and then some worthy souls venture in to kill some of the predators and make the journey safer, but it's a thankless task. Only the truly blessed are chosen to try.

Player: "What would you ask of me?"

Do you have the spirit of a true Guardian? I can't abandon my post, but our numbers are few and the need is great. Would you be willing to help clear the way?

While most creatures on the coast are treacherous, the real dangers are Karnifs and Scolopens. Black Mane Karnifs slash with their sharp claws causing heavy wounds, while Poison Tail Scolopens have a virulent poison that weakens even the strongest Daevas, leaving them helpless.

There is little I can offer you but our thanks and the mention of your name in our blessings. You would be doing us a great service, though. Will you?

Player: Accept.

Faith and arms! You are truly Aion-blessed, and we will not forget you.

If you truly are chosen to aid us, eliminate Black Mane Karnifs and Poison Tail Scolopens on the Latheron Coast. Only Aion knows the number of lives you will save by ridding us of these threats.

Player: "I will return."

Faith and arms, you've returned!

The light seems to have shone brightly on you, [%userclass]. Have you ventured to the Latheron Coast?

How many Black Mane Karnifs and Poison Tail Scolopens did you slay?

Player: "All that seemed needful."

Sun's blessings upon you, [%userclass]. Your work here shows you have the spirit of a true Guardian.

The road to Bab-el-Madeb is now safer because of you, for which we here at the Observatory are grateful.

A task done for its own merit is the best reward, but even Guardians must eat. Please accept this small reward as a token of our appreciation.
