Initial article for Darroch, black market merchant NPC
Darroch is a black market merchant who boldly operates inside the City of Hernand. Despite his irritable temperament, Darroch is known for honoring his debts. He owes a significant favor to Alustin, and even without knowing Alustin's true identity, he will grant any request made on Alustin's behalf.
Darroch serves as a fence, dealing in goods and information that cannot be obtained through legitimate channels. His willingness to help Kliff stems entirely from the debt he owes to Alustin, making him an unlikely but reliable ally during the Forbidden Knowledge questline.
Darroch can be found in the City of Hernand, where he conducts his black market operations from within the city itself. Players encounter him during the Scholastone quest as part of Chapter 4: The Price of Knowledge.
During the Forbidden Knowledge questline, Kliff receives a letter from Alustin instructing him to visit Darroch. Upon arriving at Darroch's location in Hernand, Kliff can pick up the Scholastone Uniform from him. This uniform is a critical item required to enter and interact with people at the Scholastone Institute. Without the uniform equipped, the scholars and trolls at the Institute will refuse to speak with Kliff.
Darroch has a reputation for being irritable and difficult to deal with. However, those who know him understand that he operates by a strict personal code: he always pays his debts. This combination of gruffness and reliability makes him a distinctive figure among Hernand's underground merchants.
