It's a plague, %pcrank. It seems Naril Viri was yet another victim of it.

One soul at a time. That's how the Three's work is done.

Naril Viri passed away? Oh dear. Perhaps things went poorly with the smugglers he was getting involved with. I can only pray that he finds peace and forgiveness with his ancestors.

Thank you for guiding Naril back to the right path, %pcrank. He has a long road ahead. I'm surprised that you were able to convince the governor to help him. Speaking frankly, many in his House are too busy begging for the Imperials' table scraps to look at their own peoples' welfare. Here, have this book for your trouble. Rather foundational as Vivec's teachings go.

Thank you for guiding Naril back to the right path, %pcrank. He has a long road ahead. It doesn't shock me that the governor refused to give him any aid.

I'm impressed that you paid for Nelar's bull netch yourself, %pcrank. Nobody else was likely to do it. Speaking frankly, most in this city are too busy begging for the Imperials' table scraps to pay attention to their own peoples' welfare. I'd like you to have this book. Have this coin as well. It's not all of what you gave to Naril, but I'd feel guilty if the charity was yours alone.

The thought hasn't even crossed my mind since our talk. I'll find another way forward. I swore it.

There's no more need for that. My new bull netch is just over there. See him? I'm in the Temple's debt, through life and death.

I'm shocked that you got that miser to actually pay for a new netch. A thousand thanks to you, outlander.

Thank you for snapping me out of that madness, outlander. I don't know what I was thinking.

A thousand thanks for your generosity, outlander. I'll make sure the Temple is repaid in kind some day.

Alright. I'll be here.

You were able to sway Governor Samalsi? I don't know what to say. He clutches his coins tighter than a goblin warchief. I worried every night that I would have to shame my ancestors to fix this, but you've spared me that. Thank you, friend. I'll make sure to repay the Temple in kind once the ranch gets back into the swing of things.

I didn't think of it that way. And I had no idea about how bad things have gotten in Narsis. I don't know what scares me more, the thought of these people killing me or the thought that I could become like them. I'll find another way, outlander. You have my word.

Are you sure? For nothing? I don't know what to say except thank you. I worried every night that I would have to shame my ancestors to fix this, but you've spared me of that. Once I get back on my feet, I swear to you I'll find some way to repay the Temple for this.

Is this some kind of joke? You don't even have that much gold on you.

I'm sorry. I know it must offend the Temple, but I don't see any other way out. A new bull netch would cost me four hundred gold. Without a bull netch, I have no way of coming up with that much coin.

I know that it's a grave sin, outlander, but I have no other options. My bull netch was carried off by a passing swarm of skyrenders. I took the matter to Shipal-Sharai, but Governor Samalsi refused to give me any restitution. I was barely scraping by as it was. Without a bull to breed more netch, the ranch won't make it another year. I received an offer to store a stash of greydust here in exchange for enough gold to recover what I lost and more. I don't see any way out other than to take the offer.

What a ridiculous thing to say. Drug smuggling? Priest or not, if you continue with these accusations I'll have to ask you to leave my home.

You have my hospitality as a representative of the Temple, but this is a private matter. I'm not sure that I trust you personally enough to talk about it.

I can't believe it was all over a lost bull netch. He could've just told me. I have the coin. But Naril never liked that I moved into the city. No, not one bit. Asking me for gold would've hurt his pride too much. Still, you have my thanks for helping the oaf.

You have my directions. I only hope it's not too late to get Naril out of this.

Thank the Three you came. Naril's ranch is hard to find, so you may want to write this down. To get to the ranch, start in Shipal-Sharai by either foot or cart. Take the road south out of town and follow it to the rope bridge that hangs over town. The dirt road at the end of it will lead you to his roped-off netch herd. Please, try to get Naril to listen to reason. It's that awful greydust they want him to help them sell. Unless you stop him, he's either going to end up in a dungeon or dead. I'm sure of it.

You were able to save him from himself. Well done, %pcrank.

I will keep you and the rancher in my prayers. Serve the Three well, %pcrank.

This plague is even spreading outside of the city. I've done what I can here, but every day more and more young people are giving into the temptation of easy coin. Tell Naril that these people do not care about him. They'll give him gold, sure, but that doesn't matter to them. They make more of it in a week than he will in a decade. What matters to them is their freedom. Righteous men are a threat to that. If he ever hesitates, even a little bit, they'll kill him without a thought.

Naril's ranch is somewhere west of the city. You'll have to ask his sister Falynu at the Tanners and Miners Hall for more specific directions. As I said, though, I'd recommend going to Rilen Giral for advice before you leave.

The misguided brother's name is Naril Viri. I need you to go to him and convince him not to start down this path. He lives in a ranch west of the city. His sister Falynu can give you more exact directions. She's a clerk at the Tanners and Miners Hall in the St. Veloth Quarter. You may also want to speak with Rilen Giral before you leave. His duties often involve him in similar situations and he may have some advice on how to best deal with Naril.
