Bestowal Dialogue
'Surâsh, one of my scouts, has returned to me with a harrowing report from southern Imhûlar. The rest of her scouting party has gone missing, and haven't reconvened in a fortnight. She fears the worst. I am duty bound to stay here and defend Urmâkh from Okhíso and his Barkhûshim in Kûr Anzar, but I wish to ease her fears and deliver a resolution to these disappearances.
'Would you investigate these rumours with Surâsh? She can be found near the swamps of Zahûmakh, in southern Imhûlar. I will mark the location on your map. I would consider it a personal favour, <name>.'

Speak with Surâsh at the site of the missing scouts. The site can be found south-east of Urmâkh, near Zahûmakh.
- Surâsh: 'Mizâdi said she was sending her best. That is you, I assume? I am heartened. I fear that we will find some danger out here. This is where we all were supposed to meet. I dare not investigate further south, for fear of not coming back myself. I am not worth much in a fight, I'm afraid.

- 'Thank you for bringing these to me. I fear there is some new group of fiends harassing our southern border.
- 'This banner? I have not seen it before. Strange. It is quite similar to my own banner. The lion... I wonder. No matter. If they are attacking my scouts, they are no friend of ours. We have quite enough to worry about with Okhíso in Kûr Anzar, but I will think on this more. Thank you, friend.'
