You say, 'Hail, Plagus Ladeson'

Plagus Ladeson says, 'Greetings, ______, and welcome to the bunker. Are you a [new warrior] or a [veteran]?'

You say, 'I'm a veteran.'

lagus Ladeson says, 'I apologize for not knowing. I am new to the bunker. I was a trainer at the Hall of Steel in Qeynos before this. I left Qeynos in search of [Milea] and instead found myself joining the bunker's weaponmasters.'

You say, 'Who is Milea?'

Plagus Ladeson says, 'Milea Clothspinner. She was my one true love. She, too, is a Steel Warrior. When she left Qeynos in search of adventure, my heart left also. I never saw her again, but I decided to transfer my skills to Freeport. It is probably best I did not find her. She was in love with adventure. <sigh> The woman I am attracted to are always in love with another. Just like [Toala].'

You say, 'She's in East Karana.'

Plagus Ladeson says, 'You have seen Milea Clothspinner! This is great news! I wish I could travel to see her, but Cain will not allow me to do so at this time. You must take her a note for me. Here, take this to her. As a master in this order, I command you to do so immediately. Go!'

You receive a Sealed Note.

Upon giving the note to Milea Clothspinner:

Milea Clothspinner says, 'Oh great! I thought I'd seen the last of Plagus, or as all the women in the Steel Warriors called him, the Plague. Please do not tell him where I am. It must have been a long journey for you. Here. A little something for your wasted trip. I found it on the ground. Have fun going back to Freeport.'

Your standing with Steel Warriors got better.
Your standing with Guards of Qeynos got better.
Your standing with Corrupt Qeynos Guards got worse.
Your standing with The Freeport Militia got worse.
Your standing with Knights of Truth got better.
You gain experience!!

Need other quest rewards if any.

Is the best possible reward here. Anything else isn't worth the run from Qeynos to EK, and not worth having to make the run repeatedly until you do get it.

Plagus Ladeson is located in East Freeport at location 700, -725 under the Arena.
So, Quest Started By: Where: East Freeport
The letter given by Plagus Ladeson is Sealed Note [Love Letter To Milea].
It is given after saying 'She is in East Karana' and not 'She's in East Karana' as Chameleonlost88 has stated.

I recently did this, this is what I found. When talking to Plagus Ladeson the phrase: 'She's in East Karana.' did not work. You have to say 'She is in East Karana' to get the letter. When I gave Milea the letter, Faction hits as follows:
Steel Warriors has been adjusted by 5
Guards of Qeynos as been adjusted by 1
Corrupt Qeynos Guards has ben adjusted by -1
The Freeport Militia has ben adjusted by -1
Nights of Truth as ben adjusted by 1

Did this quest again to confirm if there was no reward. This time I got the Damask Cap. So it still gives rewards. Also got Golden Earring, Fur-lined Shoes, and Jasper as well as on the rare occasion, nothing but faction hits and exp.

Well I went to Freeport, got the note from Plagus Ladeson, walked to EC where I got a port from a friendly druid to NK.

I walked from NK to EK, all the way down the gorge, got the cloak, then tried to get back to Qeynos. I did this by going through HHP (Camo on) finding my way, eventually, to Kithicor, then on to Rivervale. Eventually found my way to Misty Thicket and a nice Halfling Rogue showed me to the PoK book there.

Total time taken: 1hour 45mins.
Total gain: +2AC +5HP

Like an idiot I stopped in Qeynos and asked Nerissa Clothspinner about her sister. She gave me a note to, yes, give to Milea Clothspinner for the "Clothspinner Sisters" quest. So now, my journey will be:

Qeynos -> PoK -> Misty Thicket -> Rivervale -> Kithicor -> Highhold Pass -> Eastern Karana -> Northern Karana -> Western Karana -> Qeynos Hills -> Qeynos

I'll pay Milea's rent if she'd just move somehwere closer to her family!!!

You should try Misty Thicket > Runnyeye > Gorge of King Xorbb > East Karana.

Shorter and much less dangerous.

Last night I ran this quest for the first time. Here are the details:

8th Enchanter
Everywhere I went I was invisible. I stopped and prepapred to recast as soon as I began to fade.

Started: Warriors Guild, by the Arena, SW corner of FPWest. I just said "Milea is in East Karana" and immediately had the letter.

E Commonlands, West Commonlands: Ran through, no SoW present.

Kithicor: Fortunately, it was 8AM by the time I got there. Invisible, I ran through using a copy of the map from EQAtlas.

High Hold Pass: Entered, Invisbled up, Saw 1 Orc, and using a map (my first time through here) I worked my way through. NO other creatures seen. I think I got very lucky.

E Karana: Invisible, I ran down the long ledge. At the second Square tower (On the south wall; there is also a face carved into this wall) the slope down into the canyon was easily managed. I turned and ran (in the canyon) back towards HHP. About 1.5-2 minutes, I came across a tunnel under the overhead path I had run down and in that tunnel I found Milea. She is in armor and had black hair and a sword.

Her Loc was (-1808.17, -6069.36, 6.17)

I gave the letter and got a Rusty Spear. Rather poor item for all that work, but I got 2+ gold for it.

Gated back to the Soulbinder in FP. It was too late (in game terms ) to try and brave Kithicor so I camped out.

Time: Approx 40 minutes real time.
Payout

This is a much shorter quest as a 19 dru, use karana ring and gate to transit.

Milea gave out the following in order: Blackend Iron Coif (very nice), Lantern, Gold Ring, Backpack, Wood Shield, cloth Shawl, Griz Cape (nice). Good payout for 2 hours work total. Just con both Milea and Plagus each time as your Faction with them (they are both freeport malitia) slowly goes down as you repeat this quest.

Too find Milea, head toward Highpass Hold, but go left down canyon instead of up ramp, she is way down canyon a in short tunnel, never moves.

Happy hunting

The stupid letter is lore? So you have to run all that way for???????? a cloak? what about faction?

Shaka,
I have done this a couple of times on the way to Qenous, I have recieved http://eqdb.allakhazam.com/item.html?item=1432 once as has a shamen in my group, I dont know how often it is given, but worth the stop on the way I think. The one she gives you is called blackened iron coif but has all the same stats.
