Overview

I have seen the great dragon, Mata Muram, only once. He flew with his mighty wings over Dranik and to the north.
Some say he changes his form from a mighty dragon to a two-legged flesh creature.
But, know this. The Muramites around me claim their lord has become a twisted and disfigured creature with dark and curious powers that grow more frightening each day. Or they suppose he has. They say he has not received visitors for many months and they believe that is the reason -- that Mata Muram has become a force so terrible that he cannot be interrupted.
It seems some Muramites are worried that their overlord's mastery of his magic and his legion has consumed his every thought. There are whispers of treachery among those fiendish creatures of fire and ice as well.

My elite ikaav, I command you to learn the ways of the riftseekers. You, as the elite ikaav, will be tasked with learning how to command the paths between worlds and realms so that we and I, Mata Muram, can leave this world and continue the effort to build an army for my legion and superiors. We have little time to waste.

Something is amiss, but I will not betray our master to you or anyone. Keep your forces in line and await your orders as we all must do. Hold your ground against the dragorn.

I am nearly done. These trials are grueling beyond anything I could have imagined, but I have found wells of strength beyond what I ever imagined. When these tests are complete I should be more than worthy to serve at Mata Muram's side with my army of Disciples. Soon power will be mine, I will have the strength I need to exact my revenge.

Should you see a riftseeker beyond its borders and alone, detain them and bring them to Anguish for questioning. Do not kill or harm them to such a degree they cannot be conversed with. These orders come directly from Mata Muram himself, our great leader. Commander Grigar
