Herbi Flax

Herbi Flax was a resident of Mort'ton, a small human settlement in southern Morytania. Flax lived during the town's final days in the recent Fifth Age, when an infectious disease from the Sanguinesti region wiped out the town's populace.

Herbi Flax was amongst the first to research a cure for the disease, successfully creating multiple serums that could weaken or temporarily cure the disease. Ultimately, though, his efforts failed, descending into madness at the hands of the disease and never finding an effective cure.

The Diary of Herbi Flax can still be found in his ruined home in central Mort'ton. It contains information regarding the disease, which may be helpful during the Shades of Mort'ton quest.
