Dialogue
 * "Human you smell. You smell...to my surprise...of light and honor. The Kournans reek of darkness and evil.  If you would stand against this darkness, stand with us now.  Varesh has sent a full company from the Dejarin Estate in reprisal for our actions.  If we survive, my people will feast on Kournan flesh for months.  This time we hold no ultimatum over your heads.  It is your choice to make. Zhed has faith in you, and so do we.  Will you stand with the centaurs ? "

Reward Dialogue
 * "That should keep them at bay for a while, and feed my people even longer. Varesh will undoubtedly conscript more locals to compensate.  This darkness still spreads...even now.  I can feel it in the earth, air, and water. Something has changed. Our people, like yours, know this legendary nightfall.  Strange times are indeed upon us.  But now, you are not merely human, you are part of this pride. I will teach you some of the old ways of my people.  Some skills that, perhaps, will come in handy.  First, please accept this token of our gratitude."

Followup
 * A Bushel of Trouble

Walkthrough
This is your basic Defense quest. There are pretty much three things you must be careful when doing this :
 * Groups will be coming in from both directions ( front and back )
 * No matter what, do not leave Mirza alone, especially between waves.
 * Kill the ranger boss, Captain Kuruk, as soon as possible. This boss has no green item.
