Courier Falken

Courier Falken is a Shining Blade messenger that can be found relaying information throughout Kryta during the War in Kryta. He will randomly appear at portals between Krytan zones and start a messenger run along the road until he reaches another portal, fighting off White Mantle ambushes along the way. If you can successfully escort him from one portal to the other, he will reward you with gold, experience and War Supplies.

After the civil war's end, Queen Salma sent the the Krytan courier on a diplomatic mission across the Clashing Seas, the Empire of the Dragon prospers, with an important letter for the Ascendant Emperor of Cantha.

Seeing a foreign hero like you fight for our country has inspired me to think about what I can do beyond just being a courier. I'm thinking about starting up a unified organization to deliver messages between countries. By keeping everyone informed, we could prevent groups like the White Mantle from deceiving us in the future.
 * And after all that is done, maybe I'll go adventuring up north, I hear there's a Dwarf up there that loves fist-fighting as much as I do!"
