This is one of many new youngling armor quests based out of Qeynos. Armor pieces are lore (other than bracer), no drop and are restricted to HUM/WAR. This quest originates in South Qeynos with Ebon Strongbear. While we do not have stats for the pieces, it is reported that the armor has a red plate graphic when worn. Please note that while the bracers are not lore, the bracer materials often are, so make your first bracer before you get the parts for a second one

This is not true because my family is held in high regard here and we always pay our taxes promptly. This was simply a ploy to steal money and I do not take kindly to that. I must ask that you retrieve my sisters coinpurse from Beris, he can usually be found in the hills fishing on his off-duty time. Bring me whatever you can from him along with 3 perfect gnoll skins and I will reward you with a finely refined blade for your trouble.'
