Editing Portogus Rex (section)

==={{DQ3}}===
The King is particularly fond of [[Black pepper]], which he calls "the greatest treasure of the East", but has had little luck in obtaining a consistent supply: attempted expeditions to the east has resulted in many deaths due to the rise of monsters under [[Baramos]]. When the {{Hero 3}} arrived in [[Portoga]] looking for a [[ship]], the King seized the opportunity and promised to award them his own flagship if they could deliver black pepper; to that end, he gives the {{Hero 3}} a [[Royal Missive]] to present to [[Nordy the Dwarf]]. When the {{Hero 3}} returns with the [[Black pepper]], he declares them and their {{Party 3}} to be true heroes, and honors his promise and gives them his [[ship]].

The King is friends with Nordy, who says he is "honest and straightforward… And he knows how to treat a dwarf". Their friendship is such that the normally-curmudgeonly Nordy will grant passage through [[Nordy's Grotto|his grotto]] to those that the King vouches for. The King's friendly disposition extends to his own people, as evidenced when a woman states that he gave her a large chunk of his personal supply of pepper in the dead of night.
