Name:Bal\'Khan the Great
Race: Dwarf
Found: Some dwarven village; preferably a mining operation or something.
Physical Description: Short (of course), small limbs, bald except for a little spot of white hair on the back of his head.
Purpose: A dwarven warrior. Hires out NPCs to aid you in fighting (if they will ever implement this).
Quest: Bal\'Khan: \"Greetings. Could you help me out?\" (Multiple choice answers) \"Great! An army of Diaboli has stolen my magic sword \'Hagalad\'! Could you hunt this clan down, and return the sword to me?
Quest Reward: Imbues some magical properties upon the item of your choice (excluding potions, remedies, scrolls, books, etc.). May be saved for later use.
I think it would be a fun little quest. He could get you to talk to people around town and ask for any hint on where the clan might be. (And then a little bit of combat, so on...) I also like the idea of renting out NPCs, and I like the idea of imbuing an item with magical properties.
