I'm slightly staggered that I even have to spell these out, but these should be done 1000% i/c, cleaner than clean, with absolutely no hint of ICQ use or any crossrace "arrangement" to have 1-on-1 fights against Sei'taer or Ta'varen. If I even as much as get the faintest hint that applicants are altering the "regular course of play" in any way, shape or form, in order to complete that quest, it will invalidate whatever gain you have from that arrangement, and all your gains to date too. Furthermore, people who repeatedly do this may just find that the Dreadlord will never be sufficiently impressed with them to make them into a fade.
