Recover the Farmland

When we were at war with Gracia, all the farmers of this region sought refuge in the east at Castle Gludio. However, when we returned to this land after the war, the turek orcs were occupying the surrounding area!

The lord is at the height of pursuing reconstruction, but his attention does not extend to remote farm villages like this one. However, we cannot wait forever for the lord's help, can we? We are thinking of collecting money to hire mercenaries We will recover the blessed land that we inherited from our ancestors!

When we were at war with Gracia, all the farmers of this region sought refuge in the east at Castle Gludio. However, when we returned to this land after the war, the turek orcs were occupying the surrounding area!

The lord is at the height of pursuing reconstruction, but his attention does not extend to remote farm villages like this one. However, we cannot wait forever for the lord's help, can we? My brother and I have decided to collect money and hire mercenaries. We will recover the blessed land that we inherited from our ancestors!

Now that I come to mention it, you look like quite an experienced mercenary yourself. What do you think? Will you lend us your strength to recover the farmland that the orcs took away from us? I will give you ample compensation.

Say you will drive off the orcs

Very well! Drive out the turek orcs that are camping around this area! If you bring the necklaces the orcs all wear, I will reward you according to the number.

They may be lowly orcs, but they seem to have ranks among them. The one that seems to be the leader has a luxurious necklace. I will reward you a little more for that one.

Ah! And as you know, this area was once the holy grounds for the ancient Elmoreden Empire. In the past, one could find three or four ancient relics each day when digging the earth to till the soil. Orcs also seem to understand about the value of those relics, and some collect them. Do away with the orcs and keep the relics that you find. You will be able to sell them for a high price at a store in the village.

Now it is time for you to leave. Please make an effort to recover the land for the farmers that lost their way of life. May the blessing of the goddess be with you.

You must be the mercenary sent by Guard Leikan. It is good to see you. I have a sad story to tell you...

During the war with Gracia the farmers of this area were driven off of our land. After the war was over we returned to our farms only to find them occupied by Turek orcs!

I'll give the Lord credit for his many restoration projects, but unfortunately we are far from the castle and haven't gotten any significant help from him. We must take responsibility for recovering our farms! Would you help us drive the orcs from our lands? You will be well compensated for you efforts.

"I will drive the orcs away for you farmers."

Please help the farmers who lost their way of living recover their land from the orcs. As I told you, kill the turek orcs and bring their necklaces back as proof, and I will give you a reward.

Also, do not discard the ancient relics that the orcs keep with them. Collect them all. You can sell them for quite a high price at the village. Why don't you think of it as a kind of bonus for this task?

Say you will quit Say you will continue

Young soldier, you have fought well. By the Contract, I will give you a reward according to the number of turek Orc necklaces you have brought. Thanks to your efforts, the farmers who lost their way of living are one day closer to recovering their land.

Ah! Also, do not dispose of the ancient relics that the orcs kept on them, but collect them all. You can sell them for quite a high price in the village. Why don't you think of it as a kind of bonus for the work you've done? Now that I think about it, there is supposed to be a specialist of archeology in Gludin ... That person will be able to tell you the value of these objects in more detail.

Say you will quit Say you will continue

I am sad to see you go, but it seems that our fates which brought us together for a time now must separate. However, only the gods know the destiny of people. I may request your help again someday. Or a day may come when I will help you ... we never know.

May the goddess' blessing be upon your future days.

They say that the turek orcs have trained the ferocious wolves to use as military hounds. Even the smallest creature knows its master. When orcs are attacked, the wolves fight as well, so be careful.

May the goddess' blessing be with you.

Um ... um ... You're fighting with the orcs on the northern coast, right? They say there are many relics of the ancient empire in that region ...

Uh, um ... I majored in ancient relics when I studied at the Ivory Tower, you see ... So ... Um ... . If you bring back pieces of relics, I can restore them to their original state ...

Request assembly of clay jar Request assembly of brass accessory Request assembly of bronze mirror Request assembly of jade necklace

Uh ... Well ... You must have five clay jar pieces to restore it to its original state ... I am so sorry ...

Return

... I see you have collected five clay jar pieces ... All, all right ... I think I can restore the jar with this ...

Look at the pattern engraved on this piece ... It is in the style of the early empire age ... If I match the pieces where the pattern continues ...

Ah! It is done! ... You can see the lines of the cracks, but ... One way or another ... I have assembled the jar to its original state ... A relic of the empire that is over one thousand years old ... this is a very precious legacy of history ...

Return

Ahh ... Oh dear. You must have five accessory pieces ... Only then ... Can I restore it to its original state ...

Return

That I am assembling such a precious relic with my own hands ... It is so exciting ... However, I have not seen this accessory in the book ... Should this piece go on top? And if the rest are connected to the bottom ...

See! It is a three-level crown used by the priests of Elmoreden ... Isn't it absolutely beautiful?

Return

Ahh ... I'm sorry! I must have five Bronze Mirror Pieces to restore it to its original shape ...

Please take a look at this diagram ... "Bronze mirror used by noblewomen in the Elmoreden age" ... According to this diagram, to assemble the mirror, it is impossible to do so with only the pieces you have ...

Return

Wow! You have brought five pieces of bronze mirror fragments ... With this, I can restore the mirror as it is seen in this illustration ... This piece goes with this piece ... And if I connect it underneath with this ... And so! It is complete!

Do you know? This mirror was used by the noblewomen of the Elmoreden age ... It contains the life of the ancient people ... It is a very precious relic ...!

Return

... Uh ... To restore the jade necklace to its original state ... umm ... well ... Please take a look at this diagram ... To assemble the necklace as you can see in this illustration ... You need five beads in all ...

Return

... You have found five jade beads ...! Yes ... I believe I can assemble it ... As it is shown in this diagram ... That I am restoring such a precious relic with my own hands! I am so excited my hands are trembling ...

... Like this ... I line up the beads and connect them ... Ahh ...! It is done! See! It is the same as the picture, is it not? This jade necklace ... The explanation reads that it was an ornament worn on the necks of court magicians ... It is truly a precious relic ...!

Return

Ah ...! Oh dear. What am I to do ...?

By mistake, I have ... smashed the relic pieces ... I am sorry. Terribly sorry ...

Return

Are you the mercenary Piotur hired? What is going on over at the Orc Barracks? They say that ancient relics have recently been discovered there. Have you found any?

Old relics wouldn't be of any use to a mercenary like yourself, now would they? If you bring some of them I will give you several useful items.

What do you say?

"I will trade relics for items."

I have no interest is small pieces or fragments of relics. Trader Asha would be interested in the smaller pieces, she is an expert in restoring relics.

Do you have any relics I might be interested in?

Give him a Clay Pot. Give him an Ancient Brass Tiara. Give him an Ancient Bronze Mirror. Give him an Ancient Jade Necklace. Quit

Oh, my! Look at the spiral pattern on the surface... the delicate carving of the handle... This is a genuine Imperial urn! It is exquisite! Thank you!

You shall have your reward!

Take these! I have packed several items that will be useful to a mercenary!

Return

Oh, my! It is gorgeous! An actual tiara from the Imperial era! Isn't it beautiful? Thank you for your hard work.

You shall have your reward!

Here are some things that a mercenary will find useful.

Return

Oh, my, how stunning! A bronze mirror from the Imperial period! I imagine it was used by a female aristocrat of the Elmoreden kingdom... Good job!

You shall have your reward. Here are some items that you will find useful.

Return

Oh, isn't it lovely! A jade necklace worn by the Mystics of the Imperial court! How did you find such a precious item? However you did it, good job!

You shall have your reward as promised.

Here are some items you will find useful.

Return

Are you some kind of idiot? You can't sell something you don't have!

Return

You should get rid of all that excess baggage! I'll take all the relics you have!

Give him a Clay Pot. Give him an Ancient Brass Tiara. Give him an Ancient Bronze Mirror. Give him an Ancient Jade Necklace. Quit

It's been a pleasure doing business with you. Bring me relics anytime!

So the rumors are true ... That the mercenaries fighting the Orcs on the northwest shores are secretly selling relics of the ancient kingdom ...

How could they sell such valuable historical artifacts to businessmen ...! Objects that represent the lives of our ancestors ... They'll be degraded into mere decorations and displays ... This should not happen!

Please ... If any relics of the ancient kingdom should chance to fall into your hands ... Don't sell them at the shop, but bring them to me ... I can't pay you, but ... I will try to share some of my knowledge with you ... And I will make sure that the relics that are recovered will all be used as research material for the researchers of the Ivory Tower.

Give Clay Pot piece Give brass decoration piece Give Bronze Mirror Piece Give Jade Necklace Bead Give all completed ancient relics

Why are you trying to give me something you don't even have? I can't understand you at all.

Return

This Clay Pot piece ...? By the looks of the repetitive spiral designs, it looks like it was made in the early kingdom style. That such delicate craftsmanship was available thousands of years ago ... It's unbelievable.

Thank you very much. The relics you have brought me will all be used as research material by the historical research society of the Ivory Tower. Take pride in the fact that you have played a part in revealing our forgotten past.

Return

This brass piece? It is part of a crown! However ... it's not the crown of a ruler, but a portion of the crown worn by priests during ceremonies. Look at these delicate carvings ... Beautiful, aren't they? It doesn't look like this item was made thousands of years ago, does it?

Thank you very much. The relics you have brought me will all be used as research material by the historical research society of the Ivory Tower. Take pride in the fact that you have played a part in revealing our forgotten past.

Return

This is a piece of a broken mirror. This is probably a portion of one of the bronze mirrors used by noblewomen of the Elmoreden age. Truly this is a very valuable artifact, that holds images of the lives of the ancient ones.

Thank you very much. The relics you have brought me will all be used as research material by the historical research society of the Ivory Tower. Take pride in the fact that you have played a part in revealing our forgotten past.

Return

... The bead appears to be part of a necklace ... Yes, that is probably it. It is the jade necklace worn by magicians of the royal Elmoreden court. Truly, it is a very valuable cultural artifact that records the lives and traditions of the ancient ones.

Thank you very much. The relics you have brought me will all be used as research material by the historical research society of the Ivory Tower. Take pride in the fact that you have played a part in revealing our forgotten past.

Return

These artifacts...? Who restored them? Restoring broken artifacts to their original state is a job that requires great delicacy... Whoever worked on these is very talented.

I will send them all to the Ivory Tower. They will be precious resources for historical study. I will make sure that your name appears in the Ivory Tower scholars' research paper.

Back

At one time the land northwest of Gludio was fertile farmland, yielding bountiful harvests of wheat and barley. During the dark days of the invasion of Gracia, when the farmers were in hiding, the land was taken over by the filthy Turek orcs.

Some day, my people will drive them out and restore the farmland to its previous state...

(This quest may only be undertaken by a character of level 25 or above.)

At one time the land northwest of Gludio was fertile farmland, yielding bountiful harvests of wheat and barley. During the dark days of the invasion of Gracia, when the farmers were in hiding, the land was taken over by the filthy Turek orcs.

Some day, my people will drive them out and restore the farmland to its previous state...

One of the farmers, Piotur, has taken the initiative to drive the Turek orcs from his land. He is looking for a few good mercenaries.

This should be easy for you. Do you wish to help the farmers regain their land?

"I will aid the farmers."

Excellent. Take this letter to Farmer Piotur. He is bravely tending his crops while being overrun by filthy orcs. His farm is near the east entrance of the Orc Barracks.

You must hurry and take this letter to Piotur. His farm is near the east entrance of the Orc Barracks. I pray that you are able to recover the lands for the farmers of Gludio.

Ah, you again! How was Piotur?

By the way, in case you're interested, I've heard that some relics from the ancient empire have been discovered near the Orc Barracks. You could make quite a bit of money selling those.

"Tell me about the relics from the ancient empire."

Bear in mind that this is a rumor, I've not seen it myself. I was told that mercenaries have been seen returning from the area near the Orc Barracks with relics from the Elmo-Aden period.

Although they are little more than pottery shards, they fetch a high price. If you are interested you should visit a relics expert.

"Where can I find a relics expert?"

I know that Trader Asha is an expert in the restoration of relics. He can be found at his magic store. Magister Iris is researching relics of ancient empires at the temple...

Also, Trader Nestle is an avid collector of relics. He can be found at the grocery store in the southwest part of the village.
