Wrong Place, Wrong Time

Type: Exploration

Start: Trade Quarter in Kal'Hirol

Destination: Steafan in Amaranthine

Task: Free or kill Steafan

Quest Tips: During your travels through Kal'Hirol's Trade Quarter you come across a caged man, Steafan, who may or may not have been infected with the darkspawn disease (see the Trade Quarter map for Steafan's exact location). Steafan is not infected, but you still have three choices on what to do with him. If you free Steafan and allow him to leave, you can find him again in Amaranthine outside the main gate and he'll give you a monetary reward. You can delay releasing Steafan and grill him some more until he agrees to give you a powerful flame rune in exchange for freedom. Finally, you can kick his cage into the lava if you're feeling particularly evil.

XP Reward: 1,000 XP

Money Reward: 1 sovereign (if you didn't ask for a reward up front)

Item Reward: Masterpiece Flame Rune (if you asked for a reward up front)
