• Lieutenant Paval ReetheDustwallow Marsh · Level 15-30

  A glint of light on the ground catches your eye from underneath the rubble. Brushing debris and ash caked onto the object reveals the insignia of a gold anchor on white, enameled on the surface: the sign of Theramore. Underneath the anchor is embossed the name "Lieutenant Paval Reethe".
