Can you believe this is the third effort to reclaim Brusthonin? Third. Zero-Three. Two failed, one to go. Fascinating, isn't it?

After the first two attempts failed, people abandoned the place. They figured the land would never be able to support settlers again. Now, it's just deserted--well, except for all the Undead.

When I first arrived, I was really surprised. Only the area around Baltasar wasn't contaminated or overrun.

Player: "The tree keeps them at bay?"

Oh, yes. Baltasar not only prevents contamination but also keeps undead from invading.

We couldn't have established ourselves here if not for Ervin's intercession and Baltasar's help.

Thanks to them, Humans can live here safely and we soldiers can sleep easy knowing this place is protected.

Player: "That must be a comfort."

It is, but Baltasar's power doesn't protect us from every danger.

The Kurins and Karnifs in Sudorville, for example--their numbers used to be rather small, but lately they've become a real problem.

Actually, it's a problem that a Daeva could solve easily, now that I think about it. Are you up for it, Player?

Player: Accept.

Very good. If you go out the north gate of Baltasar Hill Village, you'll see Sudorville.

Spotted Kurins and Pale Karnifs are all over the place.

Just get rid of them. We've got our hands full with the undead, but these animals are a constant danger to Humans so I appreciate you taking care of it.

Player: "The task is mine!"

The fact that the Kurins and Karnifs are increasing in numbers isn't all bad. There was a time when not even insects could live here. It's a sign that the area is recovering.

Of course, we still have to deal with them. Did you get rid of some of the Kurins and Karnifs?

Player: "So far I have..."

It wasn't that hard I imagine. No matter how vicious an animal is, it's no match for a Daeva, right?

Thank you for your help. Every extra hand is appreciated here in Brusthonin.

Shadows protect you, Daeva.
