Naja's Description

 * ''The Dark Rider is a fearful knight that's part of a legend {sic} arrround here. They say that the underworld is his battleground, where he fights for all eternity... The {sic} rrrumor goin' round is that this knight from the legend is [sic] s'posed to show up somewhere in the Empire. I mean, I didn't believe a word of it at first. But the tales coming out of the marketplace are just to many to ignore... They say he {sic} rrrides a warhorse {sic} bigger'n a marid... And he obliterated a group of Mamool Ja with a single slash of his spear... The Empire can't ignore the sheer number of witnesses anymore, and has been on my back to send someone out to investigate. {Sic}Course, I know they just don't wanna waste their prrrecious Immortals on a job that might turn out to be a fairy tale... In any case, I want ya to go out there and find some evidence that this Dark Rider {sic} rrreally exists. You get your hands on some decent prrroof, and I bet the Empire'll be willin' to rrreward ya for it. Ya got your orders!
