Description

Time to put your new disguise to the test.

Your first contact is Vanthir, a merchant from the common district. He is in the Grand Promenade today visiting one of his suppliers.

Tell Vanthir to pay me a visit regarding a shipment of dusk lily bulbs. He will understand.

Beyond that, we will need time to prepare. You should return to Thalyssra.

<Ly'leth hands you a corked bottle of faintly glowing fluid.>

Give her this, with my regards. We will call upon you soon.

You don't need to be disguised as Ly'leth still, you disguise yourself as a nightborn with the extra action button's [spell=202477] spell disguise. If you don't see the extra action button in the lower middle of your screen, you can "click" it anyway by typing:
/click ExtraActionButton1
You may want to create that as a macro, and bind a key to it, since you'll want to cast the disguise quite a bit in future Suromar quests.
