He has a task that he assigns, but calling it a task may be misleading (even though Zam does refer to it as a task).
RECAP: Yes Is this an NPC? Is NPC quest related? Would the race/species of this NPC give birth to live young? Is NPC found in or before the expansion Prophecy of Ro? (Could be misleading) Does this NPC have 2 legs and 2 arms? Are they wearing a robe? Does NPC assign the task/quest? No Is the benefit of this quest limited to one or a couple of classes? Is this NPC found in original Everquest? Is NPC found in a zone in or before The Planes of Power? Is NPC meant to be killed? Is NPC found in or before The Gates of Discord?
No, he's not found in any other zone, though he may be from a later expansion. Sorry for the long delay. I was at a picnic that lasted way longer than I thought it would.
Is NPC in one of the traveling quests like Dragons, Dragons, Dragons; Giants, Giants, Giants; Death, Death, Death?
