The constant errands and abuse and being used is a reoccurring theme in this expansion if you pay attention. It is how your character is able tap into the power to become a Dark Knight and Thordan VII also, quite early on, tells you he knows you are used by people.
I really do think part of Haurchefant's popularity stems from the fact that he's the only NPC that doesn't do this to you. You go on what...two quests for him? One is basically the over arching quest of an entire zone and the other is to help him help you help Revenant's Toll. Otherwise he just likes you as a person. And speaking of him liking you...and Tataru...
I will never forget toppling Shiva for the first time then having him rave about how worried he was for me then going back to Revenant's Toll where Tataru is all "Oh, I guess you're back, will you hand out these uniforms to the new recruits? They are doing taff-all in town and we don't have a linkpearl or any of several practical ways to get them to pick up the uniforms. You're not busy, right?"
Not that I dislike Tataru, mind you. She's growing into one of my favorite characters. But my golly her quests....
Anyway I really am hoping this theme of "you are being used" ends up being a real story point. I just want to see our Warriors almost lose it.
It's about time we just...lost it, man.
