This is the companion quest for Coran, the rather seedy (although Chaotic Good in alignment) Fighter / Thief from the First Cloakwood area.

Coran has been tasked with obtaining a Wyvern head by Kelddath Ormlyr, governor of Beregost and priest of the Song of the Morning Temple in the Temple area east of Beregost. Kelddath has offered a substantial reward — 2,000 gold pieces for a single head — and Coran wants your assistance in obtaining one.

The head must come from an adult (as opposed to Baby Wyvern) Wyvern, of which there are two in the Wyvern's Cave ^(4100.1650) in the Fourth Cloakwood area.

Note: In the Enhanced Edition, one specific adult wyvern must be slayed in that cave, and the head of any wyvern brought back; in the original, no specific wyvern must be killed, only an adult head brought back, such as heads from Wyverns in ambushes while traveling to and within Cloakwood.

Return the head of one to Kelddath at the Temple. In the original game the other can be sold to Officer Vai for 1,000 gp. In the enhanced edition she's strictly interested in Bandit Scalps. Selected merchants (like Thalantyr) pay 500  for each one of them (starting price, subject to depreciation).

Note: Coran only needs to join your party momentarily to get the initial journal entry. After that he can be removed. You can always complete the quest and collect the reward, regardless of whether he has been in your party or not.

Completion Timer

After seven in-game days, Coran will complain of his impatience if a Wyvern Head has not yet been acquired. Coran: "I could while away days on end in the company of friends, but there is business to attend to as well. We must set out after our wyvern quarry soon lest we lose the chance at all."

Rumours to the contrary notwithstanding, after another seven days, he will leave the party, and the game, if a Wyvern Head has still not been acquired.

Quest title: Coran the Wyvern Hunter

Entry title: Coran, Hunter of Wyverns

Quest begins:

We have decided to join up with an elf named Coran in hunting down a wyvern. There has been a substantial reward offered for the head of the beast. We can collect the reward just east of Beregost at the temple of Lathander. That is where the mayor of Beregost is to be found, as he is also the head of the temple.

Entry title: Wyvern Hunting Season

Quest completed:

I have been well rewarded for delivering a wyvern head to Kelddath. No doubt this 2,000 gold shall come in quite handy.
