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.

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!

NPCTextAudio
We know where the Lost City is, yes, for we would never forget the birthplace of our people. It has been reclaimed by the sands, though if what the {balbalakh} says is true about the Faridun scouts, recent sandstorms must have opened a path inside. Find that path, or make one yourself. We shall engage the Faridun elsewhere to distract them from your actions.

We will take you to the Valley of the Titans, though expect no aid in infiltrating that accursed lowland. The Maraketh do not step foot there. Instead, we shall guard the entrance, delaying the Faridun should they seek to stop you.

We have never made the journey to our Towers without bearing a fallen {dekhara} to bury in the sky. It is not a place for the living... this shall be a disquieting time. Tread lightly.

RisuIdentitySorceress
NPCTextAudio
I am of the Faridun. You know us, tale-woman. We are your unwanted and forgotten. Some time ago, a foreign woman came to us, and offered us the power to seize what was ours. We took her deal. We had no idea what it would cost us. When she finally brought us the Beast, it was not the glorious power we'd been promised. It was horrifying. Those of us who did not want to make war, those of us who were afraid of the Beast... Jamanra sealed us in the mine when his Dreadnought was complete. This madness must end! Some may call me a traitor, but I do not seek the destruction of my brethren. I seek their salvation.

DefectorOnTheArdura
NPCTextAudio
Meeting the Ardura is disconcerting. Like most Faridun, I was left to die in the desert as an infant. Perhaps someone here is my mother or father... I look at each of them wondering what my life could have been if... if they had wanted me. My people are full of anger and distrust, for reasons I hope are clear. They are blinded by this.
MysticOnNasima
NPCTextAudio
Nasima, yes, Nasima! A great warrior, though with a complicated legacy. Born with eyes the color of blood, she was left to die among the dunes for being blind, but the Faridun found her and raised her. A {balbalakh}, one might think, but no. She became an impressive warrior in her own right, and when called upon to raid her people, she recognised her mother's voice, and turned and slaughtered her Faridun captors! A true role model from the ancient days, and a wonderful sleep-tale for the children.

DefectorOnShambrinAfterHelping
NPCTextAudio
Now that she is willing to talk to me, I find that Shambrin is very kind. I think she understands what it is to be an outsider. If she had been born blind, she would have been a sister-outcast among the Faridun. Being blinded as a warrior, however, guarantees her place among her people. Had I been an Ardura warrior whose lungs became weakened by sickness rather than birth, I would have been her sister here. I think about that life sometimes.
DefectorOnTheFaridun
NPCTextAudio
The Maraketh have no idea how great we number. We are larger than any one akhara by far, and my brothers and sisters held a great bitterness even before Corruption came among us. Everything we do, from our garb to our food, is made opposite to the Maraketh out of spite. I still feel some of that anger when I see them here, standing proud and colourful. Asala promises them a return to their glory days, but do they not have such glory now?
DefectorOnCorruption
NPCTextAudio
This Corruption that plagues the land. I cannot bring myself to fully believe it is the reason for my people's sickening turn. I know that when the Beast first came to us—when Jamanra was raised from death—he quickly became covetous and prone to fits of rage. Soon, that fervor gleamed in the eyes of those around him. You say it is Corruption, but I have not seen anything in my brothers and sisters that was not already there. Corruption may exist, yes, but it does not fully control. It only... excuses. The Faridun are warring against the Maraketh because they desire to do so. They have always wanted this conflict. They want to make those who abandoned us suffer.
DefectorOnTheDreadnought
NPCTextAudio
We Faridun have never had grand caravans. In our preparations, Jamanra tasked our people with building one of our own. The intent shifted as madness crept upon him. Soon, it became the greatest war machine the Vastiri has ever known. The wish for a better life was gone. Only thoughts of hatred were left.
DefectorOnTheCountess
NPCTextAudio
This... Oriana... the one you called a 'Countess'... Jamanra has declared her our Queen. She first came to us from the south, and seemed sympathetic to our cause. She promised us power... the power to take back our lives. She left for Ezomyte lands, vowing to return with something that would resurrect our greatest hero, Jamanra. With that hope dangled before us, the Faridun united for the first time since his death. We prepared, as she asked. We took the quarry. We began working on the Dreadnought. I am ashamed to admit I was a devout believer in the cause... until the day she kept her promise. She did return. She did bring the power to resurrect Jamanra. She brought... the Beast.

She is a devoted follower, and there is no difference now between Maraketh and Faridun. Both serve me, under my united banner. The glory days of our people are nigh, {jingakh}. If you wish, you may return once you have destroyed the Seed of Corruption, and you, too, may share in what we build.

We have spent our time wisely. The journey so far has cost us several weeks, but our most distant outriders have managed to distract the Faridun with targeted raids. We should be able to reach at least one more destination before they do.

Our skirmishes against the Faridun's outriders have gone well, but their so-called King has made moves of his own while we have protected your flank. You may very well find that he has ridden ahead of us, but we must still try.

As the tale-women spread word of our victories with my name lauded, I find myself growing stronger. This must be the beginnings of Divinity. I will use this strength to defeat the King of the Faridun. Perhaps it will even be enough to destroy the Seed of Corruption.
MarakethMatriarchAscentQuestStart
NPCTextAudio
You have done as well as can be expected on your own, {jingakh}. It will soon be time for our goals to coincide. Many other {akharas} have heard of our victories, but more have suffered from the sudden tide of Corruption. Our distant sisters have chosen to join the war to defeat this would-be King and destroy the Seed of Corruption.

The Faridun have assembled a tremendous Dreadnought far larger than any one caravan. As we speak, it is barreling through the heart of the Vastiri, leaving devastation in its wake. The Faridun seem to have some unknown destination in mind, but we intend to converge our {akharas} upon them before they can reach it. Join the pursuit. There will undoubtedly be creatures of Corruption in the wake of the Dreadnought.
MarakethMatriarchAscentQuestBoard
NPCTextAudio
The time has come for a final confrontation. The Faridun have united, but for the first time in many generations, the Maraketh have as well. I intend to infiltrate the Dreadnought and face the Perennial King myself. If I defeat him in personal combat, I can end this war. The Faridun and the Maraketh alike will witness my victory. That will be my chance to unify them under one banner. I can feel myself on the verge of some great transformation... and so, too, will my people transform, should we win the day. Glory will be ours again, {jingakh}. I want you by my side for this final battle, for the King will no doubt be supported by legions of Corrupted abominations.

The future beckons. Are you prepared?

NPCTextAudio
That foreigner escaped with the Seed of Corruption, but my outriders have found their trail. It leads away from the path that I must follow for now. There are some among the Faridun and the Maraketh who refuse my rule. I must unite the Vastiri Plains under a single leader if we are to restore this land to its former glory. I assume you will choose to part from us here and pursue the Seed. I understand that choice. I will send reinforcements to help you when the unification is over. Until then, I wish you luck in the Wastes to which the enemy has escaped.

To have a place at the table. Or... They can remain outcasts. Either way, it is time to write a new chapter. Who knows what the future holds?

HoodedOneA2OnTheFaridun
NPCTextAudio
They call themselves the Faridun in this era, but they have died out and been reborn many times. They are not an independent culture. They are the Maraketh's dark secret, the inevitable consequence of life's haphazard nature. A society cannot simply purge itself of the weak, the ill, or the disadvantaged. Those unwanted newborns who are abandoned among the dunes... they rarely die, no matter how much the Maraketh wish to make them simply disappear. No, they live. The Faridun are the shadow of the Maraketh, always just out of sight, always watching. They rescue those children and raise them on the outside, looking in. An unspoken relief for the father and mother that must give up their child, but a gathering storm fated to one day return home with a fury.

ZarkaA2OnJamanra
NPCTextAudio
Jamanra? That's a tale I rarely tell. Every few generations, the Faridun stir up trouble. Jamanra was their most successful attempt at causing problems. A very long time ago, he spread dangerous ideas among the outcasts, and spoke to the Maraketh as if they were equals. His offenses were so great, the Sekhemas joined together to approach and rebuke him. The tale says that he was so in awe of the glory of our leaders, he ended his own life, and chose to fall forgotten in the sands. It is a strange conclusion to his tale, I must admit. But this is what is told. If he has been somehow reanimated through Corruption, he will have only one goal: harming us.

Jamanra has risen... It is... Almost unthinkable. To resort to necromancy and corruption... The Faridun's desperation knows no limits. In a way, it is rather sad. In another, it is harrowing. Either way, this King of theirs, must return to his death.

With that speech, she has woven a hopeful tapestry for our future. Our Sekhema leaves nothing to chance. By beheading Jamanra, she has both dealt a deadly strike and begun the process of healing an old wound. Perhaps it is enough to begin a conversation with the Faridun. Perhaps... There is a way forward for all.

Our people have lived in the shadows of the dunes for too long.

Countless generations have been forgotten, will be forgotten. We are not 'Faridun,' we are Maraketh, and if we work together — if we unite — then they will be forced to acknowledge us.

We must show them that casting us off is a mistake. We must show them our strength.

Perhaps we can one day rebuild Keth itself, for all those who live in the Plains of Vastiri.
