Description

Corastrasza, currently stationed at the Vermillion Redoubt

^{[29, 25]}

in the Twilight Highlands, has intercepted a coded message of grave importance. I'll let her explain the full situation, but we need your expertise to unravel the cipher!

Take your decoder ring to an ethereal thaumaturge in your capital city - he should know how to charge it. Acquire the encoded cipher from Corastrasza and use the ring to decode it for her. Hurry! Time is ticking...

Progress

I was hoping Lord Afrasastrasz would find us a competent <class>.

What have you got for us, <name>? Do you have a means of decrypting the message?

Completion

What's this about? "Ravenholdt Manor?" I thought that was just a motley band of thieves up in the Hillsbrad Foothills.

What would they want with a dragon egg? More importantly, how did they find out about it?

We're going to need some answers, <name>!
