Quest text

The Royal Apothecary Society is under extreme pressure from the Dark Lady to develop a New Plague. We are working diligently and have made much progress. It is our belief that the success will be achieved much faster if we share information amongst the Society.

For that reason I want you to deliver my latest findings to Apothecary Lydon in Tarren Mill, a small town nestled in the Hillsbrad Foothills. The journey will be a long one.

Head south and stick to the roads. Follow the signs closely!

Progress

You have something for me?

Completion

Ah, most excellent. Apothecary Renferrel has my utmost respect. I am anxious to study his work.
