Result of Misunderstanding

Now I see. The Mist Slasher symbolizes revenge to Orcs in the southern area. They give this as a token of revenge. Well, Castor isn't an Orc, but I'm sure he gave it to me with that intention. He would never just give me a present. How should I pay him back? Right... I'll give him a curse that is most fitting. You'll find a tombstone lying underneath a small pond north of Wind Plain. A Cursed Ring is hidden under the tombstone. Deliver the Cursed Ring to Magic Trainer Castor southeast of the village.

I know the ring exists, but I don't know the story behind it. You should find someone else to tell you about it. Please don't bother me anymore. Just get the Cursed Ring beneath a tombstone north of the Wind Plain and deliver it to Magic Trainer Castor southeast of the village.

This is what is known as a Ring of Curse, but that name is somewhat misleading. The tombstone commemorated a former Thief King in that region. Although he was a thief, he was a champion for the less fortunate and weak. After his death, his body was cremated and his followers buried his ring, placing a tombstone above it. When the great troops of Orcs swept across that area, they all protected that Tombstone with their lives.
