>Hail, Megosh Thistlethorn

Greetings Xxxxx! I am Megosh Thistlethorn first Ranger of the Storm Reapers of Rivervale.
I journeyed many years ago to the Surefall Glade far to the west of our lovely shire.
It was there I trained with the human and half-elven rangers that like the Storm Reapers are faithful disciples of Karana.
I have returned now to Rivervale to teach our interested young people the ways of a ranger of the Storm Lord, so that we may defend our shire and the wilds of Norrath from the [evil forces] that would see it destroyed.

>What evil forces

Currently the Death Fist Clan of Orcs, a race of bloodthirsty humanoids concerned only with expanding their territory and slaughtering all who stand in their path, threatens our homeland.
The Orcs have long had a minor presence in the Misty Thicket but lately they have been amassing in greater numbers.
The Death Fist has been chopping down our trees and quarrying rock from the nearby mountains.
We know only that they have been shipping the materials to the commonlands and stockpiling it for what purpose we do not know.
As rangers of the Storm Reapers it is our duty to [stop the desecration] of the thicket.

>I will stop the desecration

First you must outfit yourself for battle with the Death Fists.
Seek Bipdo Hargin here in Rivervale and give him this letter.
He will instruct you further on getting yourself outfitted for the tasks ahead.
Once you have been outfitted in a suit of Thorn Mail Armor return to me and I will instruct you for your [next task].

(Bipdo Hargin)
Pleased to meet you Xxxxx! You must be one of Megosh's new trainees.
Megosh has asked me to help get you outfitted in a suit of armor to protect you from the vile weapons of Rivervales foes.
I have assembled a kit for you that will allow you to construct the armor pieces once you have gathered the necessary components.
The required components vary according to which piece of Thorn Mail armor you are planning on assembling.
Do you wish to craft a [thorn mail coif], a [thorn mail bracer], [thorn mail gloves], [thorn mail boots], [thorn mail sleeves], [thorn mail leggings], or a [thorn mail tunic].

>I wish to Thorn Mail Sleeve

To assemble Thorn Mail Sleeves you will require two [silk thread], thorn drakeling scales, and two giant fruit bat wings. Once you have the necessary components combine them in your Mail Assembly Kit with this Tattered Sleeves Pattern.
