Dialogue

Initial dialogue

Mirza Veldrunner

"Do you sense it, pridemate? Of course not. How can the two-legged know of such things? Strange stories about the plants in the surrounding regions are pouring in every day. I feel a vile corruption spreading throughout the land upsetting the balance of nature. It would not surprise me if the Kournans are somehow linked to this. If you humans are truly allies, then you will help us learn more about these incidents.

Seek out Yera Swiftlight in the Sunward Marches. He is one of our best scouts and will lead you in the right direction. May the spirit of the Ancestor Tree be with you."

 Accept: "You can count on me. I'll get to the bottom of this."

 Decline: "Inspecting plants might be fun for you nature-loving types. I'll pass."

 Ask: "Have you spoken to Yera Swiftlight ? He's patrolling the Sunward Marches."

Intermediate dialogue

Yera Swiftsight

"The vegetation here is not natural. A great demonic presence is slowly consuming the entire region. But mere words cannot describe the terrors I have seen. Go examine the suspicious shrubs that are so abundant in this region... then you will see the evils of which I speak."

Suspicious Shrub

"This plant emits a dark aura that makes you shudder. It's corruption runs deep."

"This plant looks to be a cross between a Rosa Tyrianus and a Psychilis Canthania. How interesting..."

"This is an Elonian jongo berry bush. It's most famous for its use in making Kournan Jomba Juice."

"It's a bush...a bushy bush...were you expecting something else?"

Reward dialogue

Mirza Veldrunner

"The demonic corruption of the land is worse than I suspected. What source of evil would be powerful enough to infect such a large area? Perhaps we should consider ourselves lucky that we don't know."
