{{town|Rampart|noname=}} [[Lord Falorel]]: The [[Ring of Life]], the second component of the [[Elixir of Life]], is hidden in the valley of [[Dagrond]].  There lives a group of powerful Elven nobility who are the caretakers of several warrens of gold and green dragons.  These [[Dragon Lords]] have always been loyal to [[AvLee]], but we fear that one of these lords has been corrupted by the [[Necromancers]].  If this treacherous [[Dragon Lord]] gets the Ring before you, he will become an enemy too powerful for the forces of [[AvLee]] to withstand.

{{TEheader}}
{{TErow| 1 |Opening|Somewhere in the Valley of [[Dagrond]] is the [[Ring of Life]], the second component needed for the [[Elixir of Life]].  The Ring is located in a valley where the [[Dragon Lord]]s live.  The [[Dragon Lord]]s care for the green and gold dragons living throughout [[AvLee]].  However, the one [[Dragon Lord]] in this region is corrupt and now conspiring against [[AvLee]].  We believe he is in league with [[Deyja]], working with the [[Necromancer]]s.<p>He has discovered that the Ring is here and intends to claim it for himself.  You need to make certain that he does not do so.  Obtain the Ring for us so that we can create the [[Elixir of Life]] before the [[Necromancer]]s get their clutches on this powerful artifact.}}
{{TErow| 3 |More on the [[Dragon Lords]]|We now know for certain that this [[Dragon Lord]] is working against [[AvLee]] and her people.  He is in league with dark powers, entities so twisted they would have you believe he is an upstanding member of the [[AvLee]] nobility rather than a treacherous murder.  The facade he shows to the world is that of a well-respected [[Dragon Lord]], while he allows the [[Necromancers]] to secretly harvest our people.  Destroying him and his followers will be a great service to [[AvLee]], one for which they shall reward you handsomely and remember your name for generations to come.}}
{{TErow| 8 |The Ring|Rumor has it the [[Ring of Life]] is to found near a lake made of pure flames.}}
{{TErow| 11 |[[Lord Falorel]]|Your work for [[Lord Falorel]] has been excellent for honing your skills.  Not since the days in early training at the Forest Guard Academy have you seen so much action.  Though you fear that dark times are on the horizon, you feel you are participating in a noble cause.  The [[Elixir of Life]] will help heal many of [[AvLee]]'s ills.}}
{{TErow| 18 |Smoke on the Horizon|The smell of smoke in the morning wind leads you to suspect that this lake of fire you seek is south of here.}}
