You can obtain this solo task from Moliwyn in Pal’Lomen. You can find Moliwyn at /waypoint 598, -1123, 8. He is on the find tool as well CTRL F.

You say, 'Hail, Moliwyn'

Moliwyn's face could chisel stone with its deep wrinkles and jagged edges. You can tell this man has been fighting some sort of fight for a long time before Pal'Lomen was on fire. Grey ash flecks across his armor and hair, dark smears of soot can be seen on his hands and face, where his sweat would have collected the soot before he tried to wipe it away. He addresses you in a way that tells you that he doesn't expect you to survive much longer. 'Hail?' he says with a wince. 'Hail is what you say when you have hope. If you can't see the situation before your own eyes, then I wonder why you are so full of mirth and merriment.' He glowers into the direction of the Rallosians for a moment before looking down at the ground near his feet. He stomps out a glowing ember that landed by him before continuing. 'Whatever, I care not, I have more pressing [matters] at hand.'

You say, 'What Kind of matters?'

Moliwyn cringes for a moment, sighs and says, 'As you can see, our home is gone, and our people are scattered, those damned Rallosians have sacked our home and have hunted us for sport.' He tamps out another ember by his feet, 'I have to confess, the fires of our home are nothing compared to the rage I feel for these invaders. Alas, I have my own people to think about. As much as I feel that [Elthar] is right, I cannot dive head first into battle. I want nothing more than to give back the torment these monsters have brought to us. I want to be covered in their blood, I want them to know who I am and I want them to tell their children to fear me when they are tucked in at night.'

You say, 'Elthar'

Moliwyn scans the area you are in for a moment before continuing, 'Elthar is an eager warrior who has taken it upon herself to slay as many of the Rallosians she can. Her hubris is magnified by the fact that she thinks she has been chosen for this role. She's young and foolish, she is going to get herself killed if she keeps going the way she does. Her advice has been to gather what we can and storm into their camps, killing their leadership and she thinks that will cause the Rallosians to retreat. I'm not that [foolhardy]. I know that a direct assault on their camps would be the end of us. I don't intend to lose any more lives today, but I will take them when I can.'
You say, 'Why do you find that tactic to be foolhardy?'

Moliwyn says, 'Because they are more tactical than Elthar thinks them to be, it would be like walking into where a trap should be, and letting them build one around you. We have to be subtle and just as cunning. Luckily for us, the Rallosians are monsters and there is no honor amongst monsters. There is a member of the Rallosian leadership who is trying to climb up the ranks in their army. To do so, they feel they need to betray the other members of the leadership, their [hubris] will be their downfall, so we will use that to our advantage. And by 'we', I mean, you.'

You say, 'hubris'

Moliwyn says, 'There is a goblin scout by the name of Snart who has been spotted in several different areas outside of the camps. He caught Sorifyn attempting to lead more refugees out of Pal'Lomen. In exchange for letting our citizens get to safety, he asked Sorifyn to deliver a message to me saying he wants to talk. I don't trust these cunning devils so I need someone who can hold their own in a fight to go talk to him. There is, unfortunately, a [problem] when it comes to finding Snart.'

You say, 'problem'

Moliwyn winces painfully before speaking, 'This little deviant doesn't think we are smart enough or strong enough to help him. So he has made trying to speak to him a chore. These monsters have been tormenting us for some time now. Their cruelty always finds a new low. The other problem is that he seems to be everywhere all at once. Sorifyn has ran into him a couple times and each time he finds new and vicious ways to cause torment to our people. He wants us to find him but he won't tell us where he is, which leaves us with very little in the way of [options].'

You say, 'options'

You have been assigned the task 'Shady Neighbors'.

Moliwyn says, 'The only option I can see here is that we have to find who he commands and get the information out of them. Your will need to 'convince' them to tell you where he is. Start there and once you find Snart, speak to him and see what his plans are, then come back to me.'



Moliwyn is the reluctant leader of the Elddar people in Pal’Lomen. He has been tormented by the Rallosians destroying their home for weeks and is in need of a counter offensive. He ahs asked you for help in the evacuation by infiltrating Rallosians to the west and using theri hubris against them. This will allow them some time to get the rest of the evacuees out.

Snart is a crafty devil who prides himself on cruelty and cunning. Moliwyn would like you to speak with him but the first step is finding him. One of the Rallosians goblins may know more about how to find them. Start your search by “convincing” these troops to spill their intel.

    Pro tip: setup a campfire next to Moliwyn as you will be returing to him often.

    1.Slay goblins to find a clue where Snart is 0/1 Pal’Lomen
    Good spot to fight the goblins is at -605.36 1044.11 -33.06 **Note grab the Mecenary Quest "Royal Rallosian Rumble" because killing these mobs contributes to this quest.
    --You have looted a Snart's Riddle from a Rallosian marshal's corpse.--
    --You have looted a Snart's Riddle from a Rallosian lieutenant's corpse.--
    --You have looted a Snart's Riddle from a Rallosian scoundrel's corpse.--
    --You have looted a Snart's Riddle from a Rallosian archivist's corpse.--

    For some reason, you may be the message, "This doesn't seem right. You already have Snart's Riddle" on your group leader/masterlooter if you already have a "Snart's Riggle" in your inventory. Just ignore it and keep killing if more group members need one. It will continue to drop.

    2. Speak with Snart 0/1 Pal'Lomen
    Snarts loc
    -846.95 923.49 -31.85
    You say, 'Hail, Snart'
    Your task 'Shady Neighbors' has been updated.
    Snart guffaws loudly, spittle flying out of his mouth while raucous laughter bellows over Pal'Lomen. Luckily, the sound coming from the trees drowns the laughter from being heard by others. 'What a disgrace, I can vanish without a trace and your boss sends a fresh face? He will be remembered as a coward, and I will be sure to pay that forward. Now, the matter at hand involves you helping me with my plan. In my way, there is a fool named Glerbard. Finding her won't be hard as she likes to spend time in the yard. She has Dok's ear, and that has been grinding my gears. She goes nowhere without her trusty stabber. Go find her and stab her, then bring me that dagger.'

    3. Deliver Snart's Riddle to Moliwyn 0/1 Pal'Lomen
    You offered 1 Snart's Riddle to Moliwyn.
    Your task 'Shady Neighbors' has been updated.
    Moliwyn cringes as you tell him about your conversation with Snart. 'Gods,' he says, annoyed, 'what an annoying little cretin. Luckily, he's too smart for his own good and we can use that against him. Glerbard is the leader of the goblins in Pal'Lomen. She has been directing their cruelty, so it makes sense that he would want to get her out of his way. However, what is very interesting is the relationship between Glerbard and their leader, Dok. Dok has an unrelenting need for onslaught. Glerbard is his conscience, if you want to call her that. Without her, Dok will more than likely start making terrible calls, which will help destabilize the rest of the Rallosians. When you erode trust in the management, the rank and file get restless. That's when we will strike.' He quickly corrects himself, 'I mean, that is when we will get the rest of our people out of here.'
    You complete the trade with Moliwyn.

    4. Find and Kill Glerbard 0/1 Pal'Lomen
    Glerbard spawns up top of the structure things, not sure what they are called. Good spot to fight Glerbard is loc -472.58 906.58 -30.03. Invis up group before traveling. He has a large agro radius.

    5. Loot Glerbard's Dagger 0/1 Pal'Lomen
    Note: can confirm you are able to loot Glerbard's dagger before step 4 although turing it into Moliryn prior to this step being active does nothing.
    If you already have the dagger, you get a message displayed on your screen that I could not quite remember but it goes something like, "Clearly.... the dagger... exists." So if you prelooted it, you will need to destroy it and get another one of Glerbard to complete this step. Glerbard dropped six daggers, I did have a full group when killing him.

    6. Bring Moliwyn Glerbard's Dagger 0/1 Pal'Lomen
    You offered 1 Glerbard's Dagger to Moliwyn.
    You have been given: Glerbard's Dagger
    Your task 'Shady Neighbors' has been updated.
    Moliwyn's face shifts from a chiseled stoicism to an approving nod accompanied by an impressed frown. You think the frown is just how his face is shaped, but it does appear that he approves of your assistance. 'Glerbard's dagger. Well, this certainly is proof that you can handle yourself. Thank you for bringing me this. It fills me with hope. Maybe we can survive this ordeal after all.' You almost could swear that you see a half smile form on his face. 'I will let the others who are a part of the evacuation effort know what you are capable of doing. While I am doing that, bring Snart this dagger. I'm sorry that you are going to have to deal with the little devil again. Insufferable as he is, he has helped us deal a decisive blow to the Rallosians without even knowing it. Come back to me when you are finished.'
    You complete the trade with Moliwyn.

    7. Deliver Glerbard's Dagger to Snart 0/1 Pal'Lomen
    You offered 1 Glerbard's Dagger to Snart.
    Your task 'Shady Neighbors' has been updated.
    Snart cackles as you hand him the dagger, clearly pleased with this turn of events. 'You fool! You tool! You piece of stool! Now that our forces no longer have a voice of reason, you should know that your deaths are in season!' His very punchable face is as smug as ever. 'You did me a solid, so I will return the favor. Leave here you stolid or your blood will be our next flavor.' Snart farts while you depart. It appears that their incessant limericks are contagious. It will be best to egress.
    You complete the trade with Snart.

    8. Return to Moliwyn 0/1 Pal'Lomen
    You say, 'Hail, Moliwyn'
    Your task 'Shady Neighbors' has been updated.
    Moliwyn nods approvingly as he sees you approach. 'Excellent. Snart will be the victim of his own demise someday. Once Dok finds out about what happened, there will be enough infighting to get us the time we need to evacuate. When you get a moment, speak with Hathnyr, our armorer. When I told the others about your work today, he said he had something he would like some help with. Thank you for your help today "YourName". Our people owe you a debt of gratitude.'

    9. Catch up with Shalowain 0/1 Pal'Lomen
    You say, 'Hail, Shalowain'
    Shalowain scans the horizon when you are speaking to her. 'I remember this fateful day. We thought we had a leg up on the Rallosians. We thought we were at least safe for a while. We were wrong. Seeing this place, coming back to it again and again and seeing this destruction in my dreams for all of eternity... It wears you down. It grinds your soul and eats away at your courage. It casts doubt about whether anything you did during your life was even worth it. The outcome never changes and yet, we keep trying over and over to fix it. We can't fix it. I understand this now. Please "YourName", I beg you to stop your digging here. Leave this moment and never come back. You have been warned.'

    Your task 'Shady Neighbors' has been updated.
    Moliwyn sings praises of your work on this day. Your efforts here will not change the fate of Pal'Lomen, but you have a further understanding now of the pain and suffering the Elddar people had to endure.
