Initial Conversation

 * I can see you are a most inquisitive individual.
 * Allow me to feed that burning curiousity with a delectable nugget of knowledge.
 * You are familiar with the Ruins of Alzadaal?
 * Yes, those expansive ruins that honeycomb the western regions of this might nation.
 * Mount Zhayolm, Arrapago Reef, Bhaflau Thickets, the Silver Sea... Wonderfully rare pieces of armor have been discovered within the remnants at all of these locations.
 * How wonderfully rare, you ask?
 * Why, these relics are so splendidly rare that even I, an avid collector, have been unable to acquire a single piece!
 * Rumors among my fellow armor aficionados say that these lost treasures belonged to foreign mercenaries that fell in battle while escorting an archaeological research team.
 * The rumors also say that these were no ordinary mercenaries, but famous adventurers to whom the Imperial Palace extended a personal and lucrative invitation...
 * Funded by the inexhaustible coffers of the palace, the exquisite armor they wore was forged by the finest craftsmen, without regard for trivial matters such as "cost."
 * Oh, how I would dearly love to behold such masterpieces...
 * But let us not dwell on such negative emotions. I have piqued your interest, yes?
 * And now I have a request: I would ask that should you come into possession of such a wonderous treasure, that you surrender it to my greater expertise.
 * Though I may seem quite savory, I have connections with the Al Zahbi underground--specifically the Rogue Artisan Guild. They have expressed an interest in examining the craftsmanship of this armor.  Although I cannot deny my own desire to gaze upon...
 * Ahem. Naturally, I do not make this request devoid of the promise of compensation.  After the armor is examined, it will be returned to you in pristine condition, reforged into a more powerful form.
 * Perhaps this catalog will better explain what you stand to gain...


 * There are five sets of armor that can be forged in this way, but I can only handle negotiations for one set of armor at a time. Why, I can barely imagine staying conscious in the presence of but one of these fantastic creations...
 * Feel free to bring me even a single piece you have found in the remnants--I shall store it in my gallery with the utmost care and vigilance.
 * Hm? Will the armor be safe?
 * My dear sir, that gallery was built to store my precious collection! An army of marids could not batter down its darksteel doors!
 * And yet it still does not house a single piece of....
 * Ahem. Yes.  I will glady offer the use of my gallery, if only to display those treasures, for a short time...
 * Do not be concerned with my zeal--the armor will be available to you at any time.
 * I anxiously await any news of your success in obtaining these truly epic pieces.
