Lore & Dialogue

Jun Sawashima tells you, "The Viamontian assault on Zaikhal was successfully repelled. However, their fortresses remain. We must continue to assault their strongholds in order to keep them off our lands. My associate, Ardry the Dubious, has scouted out the Viamontians' defenses. Here are his notes."
Jun Sawashima gives you Viamontian Reconnaissance.
Jun Sawashima tells you, "Please go to Zaikhal and show those dogs the might of our Queen!"


You give Jun Sawashima Shard of Corcima's Armor.
Jun Sawashima tells you, "A shard of the armor of Corcima himself! Truly, you are a hero. I can use this shard to make armor every bit as good as that which Corcima wore. Take this coat, with my gratitude."
Jun Sawashima gives you Coat of the Zaikhal Defender.


You smear the blood on the helm and the helm thrums briefly with magical power..
