Text of dialogue:
Tar Cordell says 'Hello Tyrelius. What brings you back 'ere? Wanted to be 'round yer own [kind] again?'

Tar Cordell says 'Aye. A lot of us 'ave returned 'ome these past few months. Seems distrust is brewing among them other races. Now, I don't want to be accused of bigotry, some of those other kind are okay--dwarves and elves are pretty reliable--but the rest . . . you can't trust 'em. Like them blasted dark elves always plotting something. And those lizard things . . . don't even get me started with those. Folks don't feel safe out there anymore so they're coming back to the cities for protection. Why do you think I came back to 'ere! To be 'round more 'umans, folks I can [trust]!'

Tar Cordell says 'Aye, you know what I mean. We need to stick together, form a unified front and let our enemies know we mean business. In fact, right now I'm making armor for the city militia. Hmm, you look like you'd be good in a fight. Perhaps you'd be interested in these armor designs. I can share my pattern [book] or even my armor [patterns] with you provided you don't go blabbing my trade secrets to no dark elves. Can't trust those kind!'

Tar Cordell says 'Excellent, I can make you a pattern book, but first I'm gonna need some materials. Bring me a fire beetle carapace for the cover, a patch of zombie skin for the pages, a golden bandit tooth for the clasp, and a lion tail to grind down and make a salve which will protect and preserve the finished product. I hear these resources can be found in Western Karana. Once I have these things, I can create the pattern book for ya.'

Tar Cordell says 'Aye, I can give you these patterns provided you can help me with some missions for Qeynos. What do ya say? Can you help ol' Tar out? I need someone to spearhead expeditions to [Erud's Crossing], [Kedge Keep], the [Dragon Necropolis] or, if you've got the metal for it, the [valley] on the other side of the lavastorm mountains. I can reward you with some armor patterns for yer efforts. You know the drill. The more the danger, the more the reward! Choose wisely, now.'

Tar Cordell says 'Ha ha! I knew I could count on ya! Seems our ocean trade routes are in trouble again, my friend. I need ya' to travel over to Erud's Crossing and kill twenty o' dem sharks. That should clear the way a bit for our sailors! Bring me four lake pebbles from their stomachs as proof of your kills. Not that I don't trust ya, I just need something to show the boys when I let 'em know the way is clear.'

Tar Cordell says 'Hello Tyrelius. What brings you back 'ere? Wanted to be 'round yer own [kind] again?'

Tar Cordell says 'Aye, well done, my friend! As promised, 'ere is the pattern book. It may take some practice to get a 'ang of these designs, but they should serve you well. Don't forget about us if a war breaks out. I want you up on those city walls with me, aye!'

Got a group together last night to do a Thundercrest Isles mission so I could try to finish this book quest. For step four, the task says to Kill 10 Isle Kirin, however, as we worked our way to an area where there were Kirin, we were killing Isle Drakes... and every single drake counted toward my 10 Kirin kills.. so before even killing a single Isle Kirin, I had finished step four. Unfortunately, we never did get an Impeccable Kirin Horn to drop, and people had to camp, so I'll have to schedule another trip to do a Thundercrest Isles mission and try again.

I'm going to go ahead and lock this. You're all doing a great job, but I'm starting to pull information out of here and put it on the site, so having more info added at the same time will be more than my poor, barbarian brain can handle. Please feel free to keep adding more information in new threads, even quoting this thread if it helps. You could also use any existing threads (that are talking about the quests, not just item and recipe info, please) to continue for your race.

Also, please try to keep discussion of quests for the various races in different threads. One for dwarves, one for halflings, one for wood elves, etc. Most of the mysteries about how the whole process works have been solved. Remaining issues seem to be pretty much on a race-by-race basis.

The dark elf page has just been linked up, btw.

Thanks so much, you're all doing a fantastic job!

Okay, guides are in places for all the races. I tried to pull everything out of this thread, but mea culpa if I missed anything. In that case, or if you have new info, please make a new thread in the DoN Updates forum. Thanks!
