| AdiyahGossipAboutNenet NPCTextAudio | Nenet is from a people that currently call themselves the Faridun. They are our rejects. Those we Maraketh left to die in the desert as children for being unworthy or flawed. I do not think ill of Nenet. I do not think of her at all. I am not cruel, exile. It is simply that scattered groups of pariahs wandering in the desert have no effect on the world. She will not find the home she yearns for among these scoundrels. |
| ExitBanterAdiyahToNenet NPCTextAudio | Why do you hide your face, Faridun? |
| NenetContractOneStart NPCTextAudio | I am honoured, Exile, that one of your strength would even speak to me, let alone help me. I am an outcast, and it is that very status which drives me for this mission. I have traveled far, and for many years, to find the resources and allies to do what I intend. Here I am in this place, before you now, ready. Where I am from, the Plains of Vastiri, the Maraketh hold no pity for the weak or the supposedly useless. The other outcasts found me and raised me, and though our lives are harsh, we have a meager culture of our own. We call ourselves the Faridun. The Maraketh believe we are worthless and flawed, but I am convinced I can prove that is not true. There is a legend among my people of a bold warrior who tried to unite the scattered Faridun camps thousands of years ago. His name was Jamanra, and he wished only to unify us so that we might come into our own as a people. If I can prove that he existed by finding the Book of Jamanra, then I may be able to initiate a ritual challenge with the Maraketh to test Faridun warriors for worthiness. If we pass, they will have to accept us back into the lives we should have had! Will you help me win back my home, Exile? |
| NenetContractOneEnd NPCTextAudio | Jamanra did exist, Exile... and they killed him. The Sekhemas agreed to meet with him to discuss recognizing the Faridun nation, but it was a trick. They poisoned him. The supposedly honourable high-and-mighty Maraketh poisoned our greatest leader. I suppose I should have expected nothing less from this brutal world we live in, Exile. You and I know best that hope is an illusion, and that raw force is the only way to take anything for oneself. In any case, I thank you for aiding me. |
| NenetContractTwoStart NPCTextAudio | I have come to a decision, Exile. I do not believe the Maraketh will ever willingly give us a home, or let us make our own. The Book you helped me retrieve tells Jamanra's tale, but it goes a bit further than that. It also tells of his final resting place. You can already guess what I intend, yes? In this land of madness where the dead rise and legendary figures return, I have a reasonable suspicion Jamanra can be found and released from his tomb. If the Maraketh will not listen to our peaceful pleas, then perhaps we Faridun will carve a home for ourselves on the Plains of Vastiri with the sharp edge of a sword. Jamanra can finish what he began thousands of years ago, and if he is empowered by Corruption this time around, then no cowardly poison will be able to stop him. Help me find Jamanra in his tomb and convince him to lead our cause, Exile! |
| SelectionBanterNilesToNenet NPCTextAudio | Ah, the Faridun. |
| SelectionBanterNilesToNenetTwo NPCTextAudio | Out of curiosity, pariah, do the Faridun worship any gods? |
| EntryBanterNenetNilesReply NPCTextAudio | In your mythology, what happens to the Faridun after death? |
| Varashta_AfarudGossip NPCTextAudio | I hold no ill will toward the Faridun, but the Afarud disgust me. They are the pariahs of the outcasts. The rejected of the rejected. The violent, the sadists, and the evil. For generations, they have made plague and darkness their tools. They steal what is ours, and commit unspeakable acts... but only on the fringes, in the dark places. They know the Maraketh would slaughter them otherwise... which is why it is very concerning that the Afarud would make such overt moves now, after all this time. For some reason, they now seek to free Zarokh, the accursed Grand Djinn of Time... they are not loyal to him. They are led by another, someone who remains hidden in the shadows... |
| Varashta_OnSaresh NPCTextAudio | Ah, so the Afarud's secret leader is Saresh, the Necromancer of Weeping Black! I was already bound to the Trial of the Sekhemas by his era. I know only what aspirants and {djinn} have told me. He was a Walker of the White Sands, rejected even by the Faridun, though I know not why. Ahkeli's Order found him, recruited him, and put his unique talents to work... but even they could not stomach his... {interests}. Eventually, they banished him, and he sought refuge in a desert region. He became a Necromancer and built an army of the dead, and eventually waged war on us. Orbala was crowned Garukhan for uniting the {akharas} and defeating him. The Afarud must have stolen him away after... perhaps Orbala's victory was not complete... |
| Varashta_Wish_FaridunMiniboss NPCTextAudio | Face the enemy. |
| Varashta_UniqueComment_KhatalsWeeping NPCTextAudio | That amulet you wear was once known as Khatal's Geyser. The drop of Sacred Water within has been putrefied... my heart grows heavy thinking about it. And that crude engraving... yes, it is true. Khatal was Faridun. We needed every warrior we could possibly arm... and every scrap of power we possessed. He was a male {daiyata}, a tale-teller, if you can believe it. The times demanded it. |
| MirageExecutioner_Glyph NPCTextAudio | For generations, we have endured the hatred of the Maraketh, and the contempt of the Faridun. Saresh is all that we have. Our single hope in this world - not for triumph - but for {vengeance.} There can be no redemption for us, not after what we have had to do to survive. They must all pay the black river's toll! They must suffer as we have! Let them drown in blood. Then, we can all be forgotten together. |
