All's Fair - In Game Side Quest Description:
"Karmong is frustrated by her sister Tu'kari and the zakru caretaker, Tamu. She believes they are too proud to admit their feelings for each other. Karmong suggested I invent a traditional Sarentu contest as part of the Great Games, so Tu'kari and Tamu will take part together. Karmong's scheme worked and Tu'kari and Tamu are finally honest with each other."
