On the edge of the Sanseretour Valley and the Gorgon Foothills is the main thoroughfare running south of Castel Ravello Vineyard. As you approach a small cave mouth on a hillock along the north side of the road, you’ll find Count Beledal and his two bodyguards poring over a map. When you speak to him, the Count greets you warmly; he’s a big fan of your work, and has a “rather extraordinary proposition” for you. He wants you to act as an exploration guide on a mission to “preserve” the wildlife in these parts. Optionally ask the Count to tell you more about himself, before requesting what exactly the job entails. The bodyguards make mention of his daughter Clarissa, though the Count seems reticent to talk about her, except that she looks forward to receiving a souvenir when the Count returns home.
You and the Count are to admire the local flora and fauna, while Beledal “preserves” it using a strange device called a parestisomach. Think of it as a movable, wearable megascope that captures moments and transforms them into illusions, which the Count then paints. You can agree to the job to continue this quest, or optionally bargain for a better rate beforehand.
After you agree, you’re given a local hunter’s map pinpointing some habitats the Count is interested in.
