[edit] Detailed Walkthrough

[edit] Orders

Frald the White at the Hawkmorth Legion Garrison in Ebonheart tells you to meet with the Buoyant Armiger Salyn Sarethi in a contest of wit, poetry and honor.

[edit] Defend the Honor of the Legion

Apparently Salyn has been saying that the Legion has no courtesy and it's up to you to defend its honor. When you meet with Salyn on the lower level of the Tower of Dusk in Ghostgate, he clarifies that he thinks the Imperial Legion has no courtesy, wit, poetry or honor. Ask about the riddle to learn more about the contest, which is a series of three riddles you must answer in rhyme. If your Intelligence is less than 50, however, Salyn will first recommend you pick up a copy of The Red Book of Riddles from the Ald'ruhn bookstore (Codus Callonus will give you a copy when you ask him about it. Alternatively, you can find copies of this book in many other places.) As for the riddles, they are not particularly difficult, and the correct answer is always the third choice. However, you must either have an Intelligence of at least 50 or have The Red Book of Riddles in your possession, or you will not be able to give the correct answers.

[edit] Report back to Frald

Report back to Frald for a copy of 2920, Second Seed, a Speechcraft skill book as well as a nice Faction, Reputation and Disposition increase. If you failed the riddle contest, you don't get the book in the end, though the quest is still completed (just don't kill Salyn).
