Script
We're keeping it quiet, but Poporia is in trouble and Consul Dougal ordered me to have someone investigate.

Head to Popolion and investigate the source of the disturbance, but take no chances. Whatever the problem, it mustn't spread to Val Aureum or other provinces.

(I'm on my way)

I need you to understand me. If stopping this threat means burning Popolion to the ground, then that's what you do.

Take the Pegasus and head to Popolion now.

(I understand.)

I came to see the general, but I guess he's not here now.

[player name]! I heard that you've had your commissioning ceremony.

Congratulations, but keep in mind that only the best become a justicar.

(O-kay...)

I have orders to go to Popolion. Something about a "Mad Blood Disease".

I don't know why a justicar should be handling this, but maintaining trust with the poporis is important enough.

I'll be next hero of Velika after this is done. You should get my autograph now, kid.

(Maybe later.)

You're the federation agent? Not a moment too soon! The bad news? Trouble everywhere outside Popolion. Is it a disease? A curse? There's talk about vampir blood magic, but no one knows anything for certain.

The good news? Not much. Two baraka scholars have been braving the woods seeking answers, but it's too dangerous out there for normal folk.

We call it Mad Blood Disease. Affected people suffer from a kind of Bloodthirst!

The obvious cause would be vampir blood magic... but we can't jump to any conclusions yet.

The vampirs have always been friendly neighbors. We don't want to risk that.

(So what changed?) OR (We should get rid of them.)

Well, there's been a religious movement lately, calling for the revival of Lok.

A lot of our people fell for the dogma. Maybe...the duke fell for it too?

First things first, though: We need to stop this disease!

(How?)

Head southwest and you'll run into Camp Vigilance.

Find Brohua at the camp and see what you can do to help.

(I understand.)

At last - some outside aid! If nothing else, it is comforting to talk to someone sane! I am Brohua, Bedoram's assistant, at your service. Nothing much to report yet, although we have concluded that this is less a plague or curse than an...emanation? Hard to say. What we do know is that the longer you stay, the deeper it affects you.

It has affected my colleagues, thought I do not think they realize it yet.

(Where is Bedoram?)

North, examining the vampirs. You should ask Amallen for specifics.

Can I ask you a favor?

The Disturbed Constructs were once our men... but the unending battles against the mad monsters turned our men into those things.

Go straight through them - try to drive them off - and you should be able to find Amallen.

Good luck.

(I understand.)

What's that? [player name]? And you're looking for Bedoram?

He stopped in briefly, on his way to Forsaken Fields to get his equipment from the caravan.

Go find him. Our lives may depend on the outcome of his research.

(I understand.)

Summary Upon Completion
General Samael dispatched you to Popolion to investigate some wild rumors. Unchecked aggression was raging across the landscape and bizarre aberrations had attacked the locals.
