Accept Marcus' task to prove yourself
Briefing
Your dress is odd for a man, yet I recognize great power in you. At least I hope I do.
I need soldiers who fight to keep the seed of all our power from a very dangerous foe, a demigod from Hades, who seeks to steal this power from humanity and use it but forhimself and his ilk. These are dark times here in Cimerora and my allies are few. To prove to me that you are a person who I may trust, I would have you fulfill a task for me.
Excellent... Hero, is it? An unfamiliar name, I admit. No matter. I am a soldier, not a poet.
Your task is simple. Romulus' men have been using one of the caves hereon the peninsula as a "meeting ground" of sorts. Inside, a man by the name of Aulus Sempronius riles up those traitorous dogs just before a raid on our post.
I have information that tells me he is gearing his men up for another one soon. I need you to stop him, and his men, before they attack us agin.
You have 45 minutes to complete this mission.
Mission Objective(s)
Ale, sweat and the cries of men gearing up for mayhem. This is, most definitely the place. Time for a little smackdown, ancient-style
- Defeat Aulus Sempronius - 45:00
- Defeat Aulus Sempronius
You have successfully completed your task
Enemies
Notable NPCs
- Aulus Sempronius (Cimeroran Traitors Praefectus Castrorum)
Aulus Sempronius:
- Today, our attack on Cimerora will deal a killing blow to Imperious and his pathetic army.
- Once we have defeated the majority of his soldiers, we will move in for the kill. The women and all their resources will be ours.
- Cimerora will be but one of our many conquested lands. Soon Romulus will spread his legions across the world!
Debriefing
You bested Aulus Sempronius? I knew my faith was not misplaced, Hero. I do now believeI can trust you with my most important tasks. That is, if you are willing.
Accept task to destroy shadow crystals
Briefing
As you may know, Romulus has allied with the Dark Ones, creatures from the very depths of Hades. They lurk in the shadows of the surrounding caves, harnessing the power of their shadow crystals. If we can destroy these crystals we can gain a tactical advantage in the war against Romulus.
Mission Acceptance
You must find these shadow crystals and destroy them, Character. I know now what foul manner of magic they contain, but I do know that they are the source of the Dark Ones' incredible power.
You have 60 minutes to complete this task.
Unnecessary Solicitation
Time is not on our side, Character. Not only do the Dark Ones use these crystals for power, but I believe that they have magical ability to move his men from one place to another!
Mission Objective(s)
The task is clear. Destroy the crystals.
- Destroy the shadow crystals - 60:00
- 3 shadow crystals to destroy

Accept task to retrieve Eonus' remains
Briefing
Romulus has sent his men to enact a most heinous and treacherous act. In the night, his men broke into the sacred tomb of one of our townsfolk' ancestors and stole his remains! This act is so distasteful that I struggle even now to speak it aloud to you. You must return with those remains so that the family may set them to rest once more.
The Eonus family are most devastated by this act. The men see this act of desecration and their morale plummets. I worry that if this continues, the war will be lost before they even enter another battlefield.
You have 30 minutes to complete this task.
Mission Objective(s)
Remains of ancestors dead thousands of years once rested peacefully in this family cavern. No more.
- Retrieve stolen remains - 30:00
- 6 remains to retrieve
