Restricted Zone

Developer Commentary:

Recently, the merchants who come and go on the trade routes connected to Valencia City have been troubled due to the unprecedented enemy attacks or destruction of their goods for reasons unknown. And the mysterious verdant fog, source unknown, has been adding to the troubles as it slowly encroaches upon Valencia.

News of the troubles have reached the royal family of Valencia. King Shahzad Nesser of Valencia, sensing the seriousness of the matter, has placed a restriction on the zone. He has also announced that he'll find an Adventurer with special qualifications for a thorough investigation on this matter.

What would make one qualify in the eyes of the king? Also, who shall be the one to venture into the danger-ridden Restricted Zone and complete the mission?
