EpiQuest 2

-------- far less text this time. It won't choke a horse. Nor will I shoot myself having to read through it all in the game. This is just for the NPCs.

TOWN 1 ORAE

Clergy

There is a parish southwest of this village.

At the Daylaw parish, you can take on one of the three ordeals.

Not everyone is qualified to take on the Wisdom Ordeal.

This region was once a beacon for evil energy.

The mine to the north was overtaken by dark forces many years ago.

The king had the bridge to the west of Orae destroyed to contain the reach of evil forces.

Patrons

All the same equipment as Jayhic only four times the price? What? Stronger metals? Heavier weights? Bah! I'm going back to Saranoa where its safer!

Mages

There are several elementals in Ramwillow County. May I recommend that you stock up on spells?

Enemy mages have studied their own specific element. They are not labeled fire mage, or ice mage. Instead you will know their element by the spells they cast.

Do not think that fire mages are weak to water. Nor ice mages weak to fire. Mages are humanoid like you and me, so they will not be weak to certain spells.

The Wisdom Ordeal takes place in a catacomb. When I went through the ordeal, I was shocked to see reanimated skeletons and corpses walking the floors!

The monks at Daylaw Parish have sealed off the Wisdom Ordeal until someone can kill the unholy evil in the mine.

Level 2 magic hurts 20% more than level 1 magic!

Fighters

If you just came from the Saranoa region, equip yourself with our weapons and armors. Saranoa was a cakewalk compared to this region.

Earth spirits can be physically attacked while the other elementals cannot.

The Sandscoop Fortress to the northwest may look like it is in shambles on the outside, but the inside is immaculate.

There are around fifty soldiers in Sandscoop Fortress.

You can go through the Courage Ordeal at Sandscoop Fortress. They won't go easy on you either. I know from personal experience.

To the north in Ramwillow County, there are huntresses that will stalk you before attacking. Don't let them sneak up on you!

You need to get buff to carry this new equipment!

Thieves

I have an apprentice that has found her way to Jayhic town. She is skilled at late night burglaries. If you just came from that town, perhaps you have heard of her.

Crime is not a problem here. There is nothing worth stealing and everyone knows that.

Townies

To the north of the village is a bridge that leads to the next region.

The next area to the north is Ramwillow County. It would be a rustic place if it weren't for all of the spiritual elementals that roam the pathways.

Welcome to Orae! You will find the services on the south side of the river and the residences to the north.

We are a small farm village that sprawls as far as the eye can see. Most of the farms outside of the village are too small to notice.

I love to watch canoes row through the river in the city. It is so fun to wave hello to them as they go by.

Even with the bridge destroyed, I don't feel safe knowing the evil that stalks the mine.

I used to work the mine before the monsters came in. Many of my comrades were... They didn't make it out of there!

In order to undertake the Wisdom Ordeal, you must cleanse the mine of its evil.

Gushers around here try to dissolve you. It doesn't hurt though! It kind of tickles! Assuming you're wearing the right armor.

When bandits appear, they will ask you for a small fee. Give it to them! Trust me! You don't want to feel the tip of their axes!

Many men from our village left here to be soldiers for Sladaria.

TOWN 2 ENYAK

Clergy

There is another ordeal to undertake at the Eastbank Parish.

We need religion now more than ever to combat the evil tunneling up from the inner sanctum of evil!

You will need to complete the Wisdom Ordeal to enter Startask tunnel.

There are evil fanatics in the woods to east. That place needs a better cleansing than a thunderstorm.

I pray that the king makes it to heaven.

I came from Eastbank Parish. If you're going there, you will need a boat.

When I came here, I thought that this would be a treat to seat me right under our lord heavenly light. Now I know its just hot here.

Patrons



Mages

Ghosts roam the woods to the east and they're only vulnerable to fire and holy magic.

Rain spirits lurk Roughgrief Woods and they're the ones that have caused all of the storms.

You can learn spells to damage all enemies with special staves, rods and wands. You need to make them yourself though.

Water enemies are weak to ice. There are plenty of water enemies in this region. Which is odd, considering the west half of West Sladaria is desert.



Fighters

Orcs and rogues will try to disarm you in battle. Once you are disarmed, you will not regain your weapon until the fight is over.

I have seen ogres in Roughgrief Woods.

There is a six armed giant that stalks the woods. He is worshiped by fanatical followers.

There are big things out there in this region. Big things that need big weapons to kill.

The Courage Ordeal is operated by the Sladaria Legion. I have a feeling that they use it to train new recruits.

Thieves

Rogues attack in packs. While they might be weak individually, as a gang, they can overwhelm your party.

Assassins sneak up on you and they're virtually invisible until they attack. Beware!

Townies

To the east is Roughgrief Woods. It is a terrible place. Fanatics, rogues and assassins roam freely.

Certain plants have been known to sap their prey's spirit when threatened.

To the south in the desert is Sandscoop Fortress.

Water please! Can you spare some water for this old man!

You may notice there aren't a lot of old people in the city. It gets so hot for them.

Decades ago, Enyak had to build its very tall walls to protect us against invaders from other kingdoms.

Enyak is really the only city left in west Sladaria. A ruthless king sought to conquer our kingdom and ended up destroying much of it.

There is someone here in the city that has a canoe. After living in this dry town, I'd like to see how it feels to travel on water.

Welcome friends to Enyak! You will find many fine shops and merchants here. Most of the shops are in the south of town, but there are other merchants by the oasis.

This is our oasis!

Plenty men from our city became soldiers. At least the fortress is so close, so they aren't so far from home.
