Initiate to Scholar
  • 1 of 5: This quest is given to you by Tymon the Nord in Thjorgard City (in a big building near the NE end). You have to volunteer at least one initiate for promotion in order to get the quest.
  • 2 of 5: If you've fully explored the Thjorgard countryside, you've already found two Magreebs.
  • 3 of 5: They're up in the NE section attacking Bandits.
  • 4 of 5: It's okay if you've already been up there and killed them; it'll count toward this quest, anyway.
  • 5 of 5: Talk to Tymon again and tell him you've studied the Magreeb, and you'll finish the quest after telling him what color it was (you can be honest and say "green," or not).
