Lore
Mr. K'ryn is a prolific writer on folk history and fairy tales. Working separately from any of the respectable institutions, Mr. K'ryn has a reputation for making outlandish claims that undermine his impressively detailed and well-researched writing.
Mr. K'ryn has an interest in Giants and Giant history and may ask adventurers to perform a few quests.
- Sending & collecting messages to Giant camps: Before any other quests, Mr. K'ryn will ask adventurers to deliver and retrieve messages and research materials to and from Giant camps. Players will need to find the giants and offer gifts to earn their trust. Once they have proven their abilities, he may ask them to:
- Investigate Mallows Ruin - Mr. K'ryn is researching a second book on Giants and needs someone to travel to Mallows Ruin to try and find some proof of the rumors that the Giants were already living on Ataland when the boats landed and had a powerful kingdom on Broaye.
- Relocate the Giants of Yitebville - The giant hamlet of Yitebville has been troubled year on year by Vastra zealots. Mr. K'ryn is trying to organize the relocation of the surviving 15 Giants to reunite them with more of their kind in a more defensible location.
Adventures
- A Giant Pilgrimage: Are the giants of Broaye returning to Mallows Ruin?
- History of The Giants: Find a lost book called "The Halganonian."
