I could not find much else on Dreadspire and I always enjoyed that zone so decided to mess with writing a simple quest.
NOTE: This is by no means complete yet, I still have to work in to the dreadspire.pl the AE effects that this "turns off" but wanted an opinion anyways.
Am I approaching this all wrong or is there anything I can do better/differently?
