Zathe Vraine: What on earth happened here?! Managed to shut that gate before nearly being chopped in half by that menacing looking undead. Don't tell me you had anything to do with this!

› No, there was an evil necromancer... →

Zathe Vraine: We have a rogue necromancer on the loose?! Fantastic, that's the last thing we need around here! Well what happened, where is he now?

› Can't really say, I was trapped and had to make my way out through here. →

Zathe Vraine: Hm... Well, it can't have been easy to cut your way through all those undead. I'm Zathe, by the way - a retired warrior, right hand of the Mayor of Haywind, some would say. Though if you ask me, he listens more to the advice of a different man these days...

Zathe Vraine: Never mind that. Riders came in with reports of a strange storm and lights at the cemetery here. Dusted off my armor and rode like the wind to get here, only to find the crypts full of undead on my arrival.

› You were sent by the mayor of Haywind? →

› A retired warrior, eh? →

› Tell me about Haywind. →

› I should get going, good luck. →

Zathe Vraine: Aye... we were in the middle of a meeting all too common these days, discussing recent hordes of bandits menacing our countryside. That's when it happened... a shockwave ran throughout the land...

› Do tell me more... (end)

› You say you're a retired warrior? →

› Tell me about Haywind. →

› I should get going, good luck. →

Zathe Vraine: Oh, just an old veteran really - a hothead mercenary from the waters of Traire down south. Got myself hired on several campaigns by the Royal Army of Melloria in my younger years.

› Continue →

Zathe Vraine: Nowadays I'd prefer some peace and quiet, but... well, trouble keeps finding its way even here and I can't seem to not stick my nose in it. Sometimes I just wish Haywind's mayor would heed my advice a bit more.

› You were sent by the mayor of Haywind? →

› Tell me about Haywind. →

› I should get going, good luck. →

Zathe Vraine: The largest growing city this far north. I reckon life around Haywind became a lot more hectic ever since those Magi of Hydrobor migrated their academy into the region. Now there's an odd bunch of characters...

› Continue →

Zathe Vraine: Before then, Haywind used to be pretty poor I think. Damp and cool, hard to farm you know? But the magi offered to improve the weather. Crops flourished, Haywind prospered and now... now we're besieged by a bandit plight.

› You were sent by the mayor of Haywind? →

› You say you're a retired warrior? →

› I should get going, good luck. →

Zathe Vraine: Right, I'm going to stay here for the time being and see if I can clear some of these monsters out. When you happen to be traveling to the big city, I have a favor to ask; please, consider delivering news of these undead to the Mayor of Haywind at his Town Hall. It's not the kind he's wanting to hear, but he should learn of what's happened here.

› I'll consider it. (Bearer of Bad News: starts the quest) (end)

› I'll consider it. (end)

Zathe Vraine: ... dusted off my armor and rode like the wind to get here, only to find the crypts full of undead on my arrival. Which brings us back here.

› Tell me about Haywind. →

› You say you're a retired warrior? →

› I should get going, good luck. →

Zathe Vraine: Heavens, man, try not to sneak up on me again! This place is enough to make my skin crawl as it is.

› You were sent by the mayor of Haywind? →
