Red Mane Cavern was once a Mau Village, but its position and topographical advantages make it an excellent center for Asmodian and Mau counter-Balaur activity.

If you doubt the strategic value of this place, you've only to look around at who's been assigned here.

Well, let's see--there's the Drakan Punisher Legion, to begin with. We also have a Shadow Executor, the Archons of Dusk...and then there's me.

I was a Centurion at Beluslan Fortress, specializing in Counter-Balaur warfare, before I got orders for Red Mane Cavern.

I don't know how long you plan to be here, but there are a few people you ought to meet if you want to play a part in this operation.

Such as Mostin and Delris. They may have some plum assignments for you.

And of course Brigade General Thor of the Drakan Punishers. He wields most of the power here.

Be sure to tell him I sent you. That should carry some weight, I think.

Once you've introduced yourself, come back and see me again.

We cooperate more than we used to, but there's still a lot of intelligence going unshared.

I'd be grateful for any help you can provide in that area. Do we understand one another?

You must be quite sure of yourself, to decline an offer of introductions to people in high places.

But in absence of direct orders, a Daeva must act according to inner wisdom.

Best of luck in your endeavors, your character.

You know what's harder than getting a bunch of Mau to cooperate? Getting Asmodians to.

You balk, but I can tell you from experience, all that "Blood for blood!" talk goes out the window once you get outside of the fortress.

I hope you'll find a way to cooperate with your Asmodian brothers and sisters out there.

On the other hand, my fighting and intelligence-gathering capabilities are far inferior to those of the Archons of Dusk.

It was good to meet you. I'll keep you in mind if I need someone for an important task.

I can't count the number of times I've told Freyja that I don't actually need any help, and now she's sent someone again.

I gather intelligence, and I'm sure you can appreciate how sensitive a job that is. It's not like I can entrust that sort of job to just anyone.

That's pretty much the way it has to be.

Sometimes Freyja exceeds her brief, I think. But if I need any help I'll be sure to let you know.

No offense.

We've met before, have we not?

What brings you here?

Excellent! We're always short of good fighting Daevas.

The Drakan Punisher Legion goes anywhere Balaur need killing. We fought them in the Abyss before coming here, and we'll follow them anywhere to their certain destruction.

I'm grateful for your willingness to help.

Can you imagine, your character, how bothersome it is to write a daily status report when there's never a change of status?

So have you met all three of them?

I hope that will give you a general idea of how things work around here.

They're all quite capable, but despite some cooperation on the surface, we're all quite protective of our own territory and somewhat distrustful of one another.

Do let me know if there's ever anything you need from me, your character.

1. Introduce yourself to Mostin.

2. Speak with Delris.

3. Get acquainted with Thor.

4. Report back to Freyja.

Visit Mostin, Delris, and Thor in the Red Mane Cavern, and assess the situation.

Freyja explained what was going on in the Red Mane Cavern and urged you to meet a few of the more senior staff.

So you met Drakan Punisher Elite Mostin, Drakan Punisher Adjutant Delris, and Drakan Punisher Brigade General Thor.
