Pre-quest Dialogue
 * Herdsman Zekanu:"Elder Jonah, Surely you see how much of a crisis this will become if ignored!"
 * Elder Jonah:"I hear your concerns Herdsman Zekanu, but my hands are tied."
 * Herdsman Zekanu:"Elder Jonah, it is your duty to protect us. Why have you not pressed this issue with the captain of the garrison?"
 * Elder Jonah:"I have appealed to the garrison many times on this issue only to be rebuffed each time. What more can I do?"
 * Herdsman Zekanu:"Take this matter straight to the capital...to the Warmarshal herself if you must! These ruffians must be stopped or it will be the death of us all! Am I the only one who sees this?"
 * Herdsman Zekanu:"How will we feed our children when there is no meat left? Soon the garrison will have taken it all."
 * Elder Jonah:"The soldiers seem to be far hungrier of late. Or perhaps there is something else in that garrison with a powerful hunger for meat. I have implored the local captain to have mercy on us, but to no avail."
 * Herdsman Zekanu:"Grazing in the shadow of the fort only makes them easy targets. Moving them out of sight may take them off the minds of the soldiers. Maybe your Sunspears can help?"

Dialogue
 * "I'm well aware of our duty to feed the garrison here, and never have I complained before... but lately the soldiers there have gotten out of hand. They've been demanding far more of my herds than ever before.  I even saw one of them using my cattle for target practice!  At this rate, the entire village will starve come winter.  I'm afraid that because the herd grazes so close to the garrison, the cattle make easy, tempting targets.  Please, seek out Herdsman Mehnosi in the shadow of the fort and help him protect my herds as they move to safer pastures."

Reward Dialogue
 * "Some are still wary of the Sunspear presence here, but there is no doubt you have done us a great service this day. Now I know why Melonni has been so quick to side with you.  Those who still doubt will surely rethink that position every time they put meat on the table."

Walkthrough

Leave the Sunspear Sanctuary, via the Marga Coast portal. After the brief conversation between the Elder and the Herdsman, obtain the quest. Proceed south, and then east, until you see the herd of cows, and Herdsman Mehnosi. Speak to Herdsman Mehnosi to start the cattle moving. You will probably come into contact with a Kournan patrol or two. Once the cattle have made it to their new home just outside of Nundu Bay, retrace your steps to Herdsman Zekanu for your reward.

Tip: There is a resurrection shrine just south of the Elder. The priest there will give you a bounty for killing Kournans.
