Palkeote

Do you know the legend of Palkeote, the grey mother?

She is the spirit of an ancient kodo who walked this land in the distant past, in the days even before the sundering. This land was green then, and she roamed it for many years with her mate and her children.

One day, one of her sons fell ill with a sickness that would not leave him. He fell further behind the pack with each passing day, until he finally collapsed northwest of here, near a river that has now gone dry.

Palkeote stayed with her son, but she could do nothing to stop his passing. She would not leave even then. Her herd moved on and the seasons passed around her, but still she remained, until she herself passed away beside him. Her watch did not end even then, and she remains as a mighty spirit.

The Earthmother pities the suffering of all life, and she pities the suffering of mothers most of all. Palkeote's vigil has made her strong, but it is time for her to rest. Muster your allies and end her long watch, <class>.

Have you found Palkeote? Do not face her alone ? there is no honor in a hunt without hope.

<Harnor bows.>

I am glad that the grey mother has found peace at last.

You and your allies have my thanks, and the thanks of all the kodo of this land.
