Glysander Cartoth
Glysander Cartoth tells you, "Hello, I hope that you are here to help me! My name is Glysander Cartoth.  I seek to recover a series of letters that Elysa Strathelar wrote to my older sister, Lania Cartoth.  They were friends from childhood on Ispar and they corresponded for some time here in Dereth.  One day my sister disappeared.  I believe the letters may hold a clue to her disappearance.  I will reward you with Experience Points for every letter you bring me.  Furthermore, my sister once said something to me that leads me to believe the letters may direct you to items of great worth: Thorsten Cragstone's Armor or his axe! I know not whether these items are truly attainable but..." Glysander Cartoth tells you, "There is a man, Brontynn Marshad, who promised to try to track down the letters but I have not heard from him in some time. He was staying in a cottage south of Eastham, near the beach.  There is a chest in the cottage inside which he said he would leave letters for me to pick up periodically.  I give you the key to the chest, for I am unable to make this journey. Please see if there are letters in the chest and give Brontynn this note, should you find him.  This not authorizes Brontynn to give you any letters he may have.  Thank you, and best of luck!" Glysander Cartoth gives you A Certificate of Permission. Glysander Cartoth gives you A Bronze Key.

I know he is anxious to recover the letters but alas, I cannot continue this quest now." Brontynn Marshad tells you, "Here are two letters I have found. I can tell you where to find another letter, or its exact copy. Find Lia Tze in Baishi. She has a letter in her possession, and I was informed she might have a means for you to obtain a replica of Thorsten Cragstone's Armor. Or you may go to Tou-Tou and seek out a man named Tai Wo. He has a copy of the same letter Lia Tze has and may have knowledge of how to obtain a replica of Thorsten Cragstone's Axe. But beware- do not go to both of those people, for there is bad blood between them! Choose only one of them, for they will not deal with anyone who has had contact with the other.  Now I will rest here for a bit and return home. Farewell!" Brontynn Marshad gives you Elysa Strathelar's Letter to Lania Cartoth. Brontynn Marshad gives you A Letter of Correspondence.

Tai Wo gives you A faithful copy of Elysa Strathelar's Letter to Lania Cartoth. Tai Wo gives you Wax. Tai Wo tells you, "Should you find it, you should leave it in its hiding place, however here is a quantity of wax with which you may make a mould of the axe. Having been an armorsmith in the past, the axe is of historical interest to me and I would very much like to make a replica of it. Bring me the mould with the impression of the armor and I will make a fine replica of the axe for you! I wish you luck in this, for the way sounds treacherous."

Lia Tze tells you, "If you seek it and find it, I doubt you can remove the armor. Nor should you. However, I have also given you a quantity of wax with which you may make a mould of the armor.
