SUBJECT: Hunterhorn Mountains Red Lyrium Darkspawn
PARTICIPANTS: Colin & NPCs
DATE FILED: Drakonis 5
STATUS: Complete
SUMMARY: Following a tip from Kal-sharok, discovered the remains of darkspawn with red lyrium growing on their bones, much like the remains of red templars.

REPORT:

Lady Scoutmaster,

Roughly a year ago, Kal-sharok showed interest in an alliance. A term they gave us before they would consider negotiation was that we scout two areas in the Hunterhorn Mountains and take care of the problems there. As it was an old request, when we arrived, we found the dwarves had already dealt with the problem. Or, problems.

When we searched the caves in the mountain, we found darkspawn camps. Not simply stops on the way to somewhere, but actual camps meant to be bases from which they launched attacks. There were no corpses, per se, as all the darkspawn had been burned before we arrived. There was a great deal of ash and bone, and attached to a number of the bones was red lyrium. I heard it described as something like the remains of red templars. So now we have red darkspawn, as if we didn't have enough trouble.

All matters of diplomacy with Kal-sharok have been submitted to Madame Ambassador Petroux, but I wanted you to know about these darkspawn immediately.

Yours respectfully,
Colin
