Dialogue
 * "I've heard talk among the townsfolk of unsettling rumors coming from Meerak the Scribe. Instead of babbling to random strangers, he ought to send word to the authorities if he's come across something truly important, but i'm sure he's too engrossed in his books to think of anything practical like that."


 * "My duties in town keep me from looking into this matter myself, but if you could go to Ashford Abbey to the north and ask him about it, I'd appreciate it."

Walkthrough
Devona asks you to speak with Meerak the Scribe: he's spreading unsettling rumors amongst the townfolk, and needs to be reminded to report anything important to the authorities. You are to head north to Ashford Abbey to do this.

I'll let you find the way there; use the arrow on your compass and you can't go wrong! When you get to the gates of the Abbey, walk through them. When the zone loads, you'll notice you're amongst players again. Ashford Abbey is one of many outposts in the game. An outpost is any neutral zone that isn't instanced for each party. At an outpost, you can buy and sell items, form a party, and go exploring. Your Death Penalty, if any, is also removed whenever you enter an outpost.

Anyway, speak to Meerak, and he'll give you a message to deliver to Armin Saberlin in Ascalon City. He also teaches you about an important, unique feature of Guild Wars: map travel. Any outpost or city can be reached with the map. Press 'M' to view the map screen, and click on any place you want to visit. In this case, we need to go to Ascalon City, so click on it, and then click Travel. You're there!

Armin Saberlin can be found to the southeast, near Sir Tydus. Give him the message to receive your reward.
