TheWoWDBThis is the saddest a single quest has ever gotten me; the only quest chain that made me sadder that I can remember offhand is the Bridenbrad chain. So well designed.
Edit: And the Taelan chain was very, very sad also.

Description
It's funny the things you remember. I spent 16 hours a day working the fields, and every seventh day I'd head into bustling Andorhal to sell what I'd grown. It was a tough life, but we did alright. But I barely remember any of that. When I think back to those days, I think about Gloria's smile, or Andrea waving from the window whenever I'd look up from the plow. The farm's just a bit to the east, but I'm not sure I'm ready to go back, {name}. I'd just like to make sure I hold on to these memories.
