I recieved a strange quest from adair with my 3rd level magician when I stoped there after I leveled near by. I am not sure this is entended for mage's at all.
She sent me to find Merle, which is on the hill behind howth. He asked me to get him four bits of mud from mudmen, then he would tell me something about the unamed rogue.
I shortly returned with his mud bits, and he gave me a choice to learn about one of the following:
The Unamed One, Lobais, or Blaieseach
I have no clue what this part releates too, so I just randomly picked one, Blaieseach, I was told he seeks a moonstone to undo a curse that ***** put on him, and to stay away from him. I also got a good sized chunk of EXP for a 3rd level, about 3 and a 1/2 bubles, not countign what I got for killing four blue mudmen. No coin though.
