Source: Charter from Restov

Task: The Nomen Centaurs have long caused trouble

for southern Brevoy. Violent and territorial, they

are a constant thorn in the side of any attempt

to settle and civilize the eastern Stolen Lands.

Completion: Either drive the Nomen Centaurs out of

the Stolen Lands, or secure a treaty with them.

Reward: For securing peace with the Nomen (or

eradicating them; either solution sits well with

Brevoy), the swordlords of Restov are willing to

pay a 4,000 gp reward.

Task: Local (and quite eccentric) poet Iosis

Vemarelian wants to write a complex epic using only

pens crafted from manticore quills. He wants a

healthy collection of quills to see him through this

strange project.

Completion: Quills harvested from at least two

manticores should be enough to satisfy Iosis.

Reward: In exchange for a delivery of quills, Iosis

has promised a payment of a rare book of ancient

halfling poetry worth 3,000 gp.

Task: Local innkeeper Beven Armaki has announced

an eel bake, but he’s tired of plain old river eels.

He’s heard that the silver eels of Lake Silverstep

make for particularly fine dining and has asked for

a delivery of two dozen freshly caught eels.

Completion: Catch and deliver 12 silver eels.

Reward: Not only does Beven invite whoever

delivers the eels to take part in the eel bake free

of charge, but he also rewards the fisherman with

a family heirloom: a +2 buckler.

W a n t e d : S piderSilk

Source: A local weaver

Task: Chamaie Lerian has heard that the giant trap

door spiders that live in the hills east of the

Tors of Levenies spin the softest silk in the

area. She asks for a delivery of 50 square yards

of good silk harvested from several spider dens.

Completion: One spider den should yield 10 square

yards of usable silk; bring 50 yards to Chamaie.

Reward: Chamaie promises a cloak of protection +2

as a reward to whoever can supply her with silk.
