Scales of the Earth (quest)

Objectives
Obtain the Axetail Basilisk Matriarch Scales.
 * Axetail Basilisk Matriarch Scales

Description
While leather armor is strong on its own, integrating scales into the design is what truly sets it apart.

The type of scales you use will determine how many you'll need to fully protect the wearer. And one of the strongest type of scales are basilisk scales.

A fully matured basilisk has the strongest of course. Near the village of Llothien is a basilisk den. Kill the matriarch and return her scales to me.

("Axetail Basilisk Matriarch: Beware her tail. It's as sharp as a dragon's fang.")

Rewards
You will learn the following: Recipe: Battlebound Leggings (Rank 2)

You will also receive:

Progress
You may have to fight past a few of her brood to get to her.

Completion
The basilisk scale is thick. Even a thinned version of this is enough to repel any sword or spear attack.

That strength is what makes these scales so valuable to our craft.
