The Old Paladin’s Trial
Editor: Halcyon Translations
In a sense, 'Love and Family' was a Paladin's rite of passage from selfishness to fairness, from cynicism to compassion. Paladins would learn what it meant to be truly faithful and know about the light's glory.
The players of other professions could only experience this touching quest through words, and would never truly understand this old Paladin's experience.
Lu Li was a Thief.
Thieves walked in the shadows, and to most Paladins, this made them the most repugnant profession.
As such, Lu Li didn't expect to receive a quest from old Fordring at all.
He had just come heal to have his wounds healed and to pay tribute to a celebrity. If he managed to strike up a good conversation, he planned to ask for a few of Fordring's bandages.
He didn't expect for old Fordring to actually ask him to kill some Carrion Grubs.
Carrion Grubs were not unusual; they were everywhere in the Plaguelands. They were large, bumpy bugs, with a thick layer of skin that was laced with poison.
