Today we have released one of the longest and most challenging quests yet
King Narnode Shareem of the northern Gnome settlement has decided to send an envoy of the Royal Guard, the 10th squad, to oversee the decommissioning of the Gnome owned ship-building facilities on the eastern coast of Karamja. The 10th squad has mysteriously gone missing and it will be up to you should you decide to help, to track them down.
