Appearance: Once a moderately handsome young man, Almos has clearly suffered some form of great, magical tragedy. His face is horribly disfigured and he has a great difficulty speaking. Almos is quiet, sincere, and believes in the value of a hard day's work.
Quest Details: It's a two day ride to the small farming village of Riverbend. Almos escaped one afternoon and made his way to Caer Scima to find and petition a shardbearer for help in his home village. His story is that a wealthy, newly retired Seelie soldier bought land and settled in the area, and while no one was too happy about a new landowner, it wasn't all bad at first. Then, a few months later, the soldier began to use a creature in his possession to control the people there and set himself up as a petty dictator.
This soldier, Seoririn, has a dream-eater. This beast consumes the dreams of the sleeping and then can take those dreams and make them real. Almos explains that this is what happened to him - after all, who hasn't had a dream that their face was melted and ruined? He spoke out against Seoririn and was punished.
Riverbend is too close to Seelie territory for Harry to safely go there himself, and so he's asking Porthos to go, kill the dream-eater, and free the people of the town. To help him on his quest, Harry will provide a small flask of dreamless sleep potion - just enough for a couple days. The beast's powers are strongest when using one's own dreams on a person, but it can take another's thoughts and apply them with less lasting damage.
