The Golden Mantle

Prerequisite: Legend any class

Location: Brush

Quest: Find the majestic brush-lion. I think that he grows up from lower lions (wild lion cub → young brush-lion → large, predatory brush-lion → majestic brush-lion) so don't XP on them! Kill him, butcher for his fur. Go see the Fornost tailor with 50 gold to get your mantle. You will give the fur to him, and it will automatically take 50 gold from you if you have it at this point (so don't also give him the money manually).

For Orcs, it is the exact same thing, but at Kormock instead of at the Fornost tailor. The reward in this case will be a scorched, grisly fur, which is identical to the imposing, golden mantle except in weight (it is a few pounds heavier).

It has been suggested that wearing the mantle as a dark-side character, or the scorched fur as a white-side character, may carry some unknown malus. See golden_mantle for discussion.

Reward: an imposing, golden mantle (white side), or a scorched, grisly fur (dark side)
