What people say

Questor Offer

Dear [your name], For some time, we have watched you. In fact, we have watched you since you received the unholy blessing of vampirism. You have had your odd and awkward moments, but we are not displeased with the vampire you have become. The time has come for you to learn of your heritage, the proud lineage of [your vampire clan], the greatest of the vampiric bloodlines. To prove your allegiance, however, we require a sacrifice. There is a haunt nearby where lodges a member of a lesser bloodline. Go to the place called [the dungeon], and slay [monster], this foul insult to our race. When the deed is completed, come to [quest giver's town] in [quest giver's place] and find me. I am instantly recognizable: look for a [quest giver]. I will wait for [first part time] days, [your first name]. After that time, I will leave. I hope we do not miss one another. [quest giver]
