Quest Text
Master Bowyer Mossberge told me a legend about the Faydark's Champions and their disappearance during the War of the Fay. He said the location of their last mission took them to the Loping Plains. Maybe if I were to search that area I could find a possible clue regarding what happened to them.
Completion
Huntmaster Viswin of Castle Mistmoore was behind the disappearance of the last of the Faydark's Champions and a portion of the Dragoons of Nay'thox! He infected the Champions with vampirism and the Dragoons with lycanthrope and has pitted them against each other for centuries for his own amusement. In the process of discovering this, I created a Rain Caller bow, the legendary weapon of the Faydark's Champions, which I recovered from the Huntmaster when he stole it from me. Although I defeated the Huntmaster, I have a feeling I'll be seeing him again...
Stages
- Stage 1
Master Bowyer Mossberge said that the last known location of the Faydark's Champions was near the mouth of the Long Draw river in the Loping Plains over three centuries ago. It may be a long shot but I could look around there for a clue.
If I want to begin investigating Mossberge's legend I should start by searching the location in the Loping Plains he mentioned.
Zone: Loping PlainsDone: I found a ranger that claimed to be a member of the Faydark's Champions.
I found someone called Ganelorn Oast that claims to be a member of the Faydark's Champions.
- Stage 2
Ganelorn Oast said that if I want to know more about the Faydark's Champions I should talk to his leader, Captain Trueshot. He said he could be found south of the monk village in the Lesser Faydark.
If I want to learn more about the Faydark's Champions I need to find Captain Trueshot in the Lesser Faydark.
Zone: Exp03 Rgn Lesser FaydarkDone: I spoke to Captain Trueshot.
I spoke to Captain Trueshot and he gave me some information on what the Faydark's Champions have been up to all this time.
- Stage 3(4 objectives)
I offered to help Captain Trueshot in his hunt of the werewolf dragoons. He instructed me to create a Rain Caller bow for him. I need to collect the materials of the bow that are needed.
