KuraiKaom
NPCTextAudio
A king is human, mortal, vulnerable to the same temptations and vices as are we all. A legend lives on for as long as it is told, its meaning and message shifting to fit the needs of the speaker or the audience. Kaom seems to have found himself stuck somewhere in the middle.

The greatest lesson to take away from the story of the fallen Karui king is this: A leader is nothing without the loyalty of their followers. And, I suppose, that those followers should still have their heads attached.
KuraiContractOne
NPCTextAudio
You've got a contract I have taken out. Excuse me if you know the tale, but I find a well-informed thief is a better thief.

A few hundred years ago, Kaom, a Karui king of note, landed on the shores of Wraeclast and began an ill-fated conquest north. He won a decisive battle against the Eternals with the help of his niece, Hyrri. She and many other women took up bows and ambushed General Lioneye when hubris got the better of him. It was an ingenious workaround of a restriction of the Karui Way.

The poet Victario was present at the battle and later gifted Hyrri with a signed copy of "O' Eternal", one of his works. It now sits in the vault of an Oriathan nobleman. I'd like you to bring it home. It should be a straightforward job.
CadiroOnKaomsHeart
NPCTextAudio
Kaom's Heart? Rotten to the core. I genuinely can't believe that madman commanded an army... ruled through barbarism and coercion, no doubt.
CadiroOnKaomsSign
NPCTextAudio
Word has it that Kaom saw this ring as a sign for him to lead his people to Wraeclast, although I wish he hadn't.
CadiroOnKaomsSpirit
NPCTextAudio
The Karui Way preaches a number of fallacies, all dutifully upheld by its ignorant followers. Kaom was arguably its strongest proponent... but if he had truly been a traditionalist, he wouldn't have murdered his own army.
CadiroOnKaomsRoots
NPCTextAudio
Oh, you're wearing those clanky old things? Kaom's Roots... He fancied himself an almighty warrior, but those rusted greaves could not save him in the end.
