Vrex has learned much of the history of the Sslik. The Saris have a legend about a clan of Fyakki known as the Bloodletters, the very same clan that threatens Lesser Aradoth to this day.

Quest text[edit]

<player> wishes to hear of the Bloodletter Clan? It is a curious tale, one told by the Saris and passed down from generation to generation. The legend predates the arrival of the Sslik on Lesser Aradoth, but it is curious nonetheless.

The legend speaks of the Bloodletters, a deadly brood of fyakki that roamed the jungles of Lesser Aradoth more than one thousand years ago. It speaks of death and chaos the brood caused and of many failed attempts to destroy them by the Saris. For centuries before the jungles that the Sslik now call home were empty and few ventured there for the Saris much preferred the sandy beaches and central lakes of the island. Into this jungle came the Bloodletters, quietly at first and the brood built large hives and nests and multiplied.

The Bloodletters, however, were not content to remain in the jungle for the fyakki desire battle, warm blood and fresh lands to overrun and consume. The warriors of the Bloodletters began attacking the Saris nearest the jungles, killing many and disrupting trade. Eventually, the danger reached the Crystal Lakes and Parsinia itself and the Saris could no longer ignore the threat.

The Saris fought back and war raged for many years. Despite many deaths and setbacks the Saris were able to push the Bloodletters back into the jungle, but could not root them out for the brood was entrenched and defended their hives with deadly abandon.

In the end, the Saris say that Merrasat herself intervened. Fire rained down upon the jungle, burning it, and chasing the Bloodletters into the caverns of the mountains of the island. Merrasat, however, was not content and the island shook for the goddess' anger was terrible. For days the land rumbled and groaned, causing much damage in the villages and towns of the Saris, but numerous rockslides eventually sealed the caverns and the Bloodletters inside. They were never seen or heard from again, until now.

Most curious, is it not? A warning, perhaps, to all of the Living Races not to grow too complacent.
