After being ambushed by familiar warriors along their journey home, the Variags of Khand have found a new enemy in their old allies: the Khundolar.
'We have been betrayed, ${PLAYER}...
'We were paid half our share to travel to the fields of Gondor, and now, the Khundolar have sent assassins to slay us before we could return home. Only the Lord that bought our blades could have arranged such an ambush, and his name is Zarhal Kôz.
'He is a coward among Easterlings, but his wealth grants him all the power he desires. He offered us the remainder of our share upon our return, but it's clear that he didn't intend for us to survive long enough to demand the rest of our gold.
'My men will hold this position, but we have need of a scout... and after all, you are still in our service!
'Search the surrounding lands for signs of the Khundolar or their assassins. Then we shall see about taking our gold back, and then taking quite a bit more!
'And then, ${CLASS}, you shall have a reward fitting of a King!'
