Red Mane Cavern was once a Mau Village, but its position and topographical advantages make it an excellent centre for Asmodian and Mau counter-Balaur activity.

If you doubt the strategic value of this place, you've only to look around at who's been assigned here.




Well, let's see--there's the Drakan Punisher Legion, to begin with. We also have a Shadow Executor, the Archons of Dusk...and then there's me.

I was a Centurion at Beluslan Fortress, specializing in Counter-Balaur warfare, before I got orders for Red Mane Cavern.

I don't know how long you plan to be here, but there are a few people you ought to meet if you want to play a part in this operation.




Such as Shadow Executor Savrina and Archon Yoltmund. They may have some plum assignments for you.

And of course Brigade General Thor of the Drakan Punishers.

In my opinion, he’s the most powerful person here.

Tell him that I sent you and then he will speak with you.
Once you've introduced yourself, come back and see me again.

We cooperate more than we used to, but there's still a lot of intelligence going unshared.

I'd be grateful for any help you can provide in that area. Do we understand one another?


You say Freyja wanted us to meet?

Shadow Executors aren't the most popular members of any alliance, but after being assigned here I soon found myself far more interested in fighting the Balaur than matters of internal corruption.

Perhaps I should change jobs, eh?




On the other hand, I'm the only Shadow Executor here, and my fighting and intelligence-gathering capabilities are far inferior to those of either the Drakan Punisher Legion or the Archons of Dusk.

It was good to meet you. I'll keep you in mind if I need someone for an important task.






I can't count the number of times I've told Freyja that I don't actually need any help, and now she's sent someone again.

I gather intelligence, and I'm sure you can appreciate how sensitive a job that is. It's not like I can entrust that sort of job to just anyone.






That's pretty much the way it has to be.

Sometimes Freyja exceeds her brief, I think. But if I need any help I'll be sure to let you know.

No offence.






We've met before, have we not?

What brings you here?
Excellent! We're always short of good fighting Daevas.

The Drakan Punisher Legion goes anywhere Balaur need killing. We fought them in the Abyss before coming here, and we'll follow them anywhere to their certain destruction.

I'm grateful for your willingness to help.




Can you imagine, Player, how bothersome it is to write a daily status report when there's never a change of status?

So have you met all three of them?


I hope that will give you a general idea of how things work around here.

They're all quite capable, but despite some cooperation on the surface, we're all quite protective of our own territory and somewhat distrustful of one another.

Do let me know if there's ever anything you need from me, Player.
