Ricardo

Lore & Dialog
Ricardo tells you, "Well met, adventurer!" Ricardo lowers his voice warily and then continues. Ricardo tells you, "My name is Ricardo and I am part of a rebel faction of Viamontians that seeks to overthrow the despotic ruler, King Varicci." Ricardo tells you, "Recently our spies have learned that the King has launched a massive campaign to recover a powerful Falatacot artifact called the Blood Gem of Rikt Zir." Ricardo tells you, "What this gem does is still unknown, but one thing is for sure. We can not let Varicci get his hands on it." Ricardo tells you, "Our sources have unearthed an obscure legend from some ancient Falatacot ruins." Ricardo tells you, "It claims the gem was fractured into three pieces and then hidden in some caves near the ocean." Ricardo tells you, "We believe the caves referred to in the legend are the Coral Caves at 90.5N 42.5W." Ricardo winces and rubs his injured leg. Ricardo tells you, "I tried to recover the gem myself, but was grievously injured and had to take refuge here." Ricardo tells you, "I have no choice, but to ask you to retrieve the Blood Gem for me...No. For the rebellion!" Ricardo tells you, "Return the Blood Gem to me and may the Stag of Bellenesse watch over you!"
