Description

What? Treason? No, no. I assure you, my intentions are completely harmless.

Is it so wrong to help those who wish to ease the painful ritual of courtship? Come, that is no crime.

And to prove that I mean no harm, I will even tell you my source.

They were shipped to me by a Staffron Lerent, an apothecary of some sort. I never spoke with him.

Our goblin middle man said that he worked in the foothills over Hillsbrad past that mysterious Ravenholdt Manor. I wish you luck in finding him.

After you complete this quest the ghost of a human female appears, and the following conversation unfolds:

Annalise Lerent says: Staffron...
Apothecary Staffron Lerent says: Annalise? Is that you?
Annalise Lerent says: My dear Staffron, have you forgotten what it is to love? The love that we once shared?
Apothecary Staffron Lerent says: Have I forgotten? Of course I have... I have forgotten about love, happiness... of life itself.
Apothecary Staffron Lerent says: But I do know this - love makes the heart and body weak. It can be exploited. Without your love, I have only my work, Annalise.
Annalise Lerent says: But of course I love you, Staffron. And it pains me to see you suffer so.
Annalise Lerent says: I pledge my love to you forever. Death cannot erase that, even as I am sure that you still remember your love for me.
Annalise Lerent says: And if you do not, then I am truly lost.
Apothecary Staffron Lerent says: How could you love me, Annalise? Look at me. I am not the man you once knew.

[Annalise begins to fade out]

Apothecary Staffron Lerent says: Annalise? Annalise! No, don't leave me!

[Staffron cries]

Apothecary Staffron Lerent says: Annalise... you're right. I-I can't do this. I must find another way.
Apothecary Staffron Lerent says: You there. You're welcome to take the contents of my cauldron. It was to be the second stage of my plan - amorous clothing.
