The Secrets of Suramgamin

The Secrets of Suramgamin is a quest in .

Synopsis
"Our lands were visited by some odd guests – monks of the mysterious Suramgamin order, who preach fighting evil through complete forbearance from violence. They wish to help us, but first they must be sure that our King/Queen is deserving of their aid. Each of the order's masters has prepared a test for him/her – and I bet they won't be easy! I hope the reward is worth the trouble!"
