Elric Shrine, Adventurer!
The Elric Followers worship Kzarka, Lord of Corruption...
Any follower of Illezra would no doubt take interest in the place as well.

infiltrating inside the shrine would've been easy for them.
Sanahan happens to be patrolling that area.
Why don't you go meet up with him?

Seek out the scout Sanahan.
Perhaps he can provide you with some insights about Elric Shrine.

Long time no see, adventurer.
What calls you back to such dangerous place?
As you already know, I've been scouting this area for a long time now.
Nothing big has happened recently, but...
