You used to be able to journey to Alukina's Palace. The sea itself floated in the air!

Anair Lighthouse lit the path for Daevas to wing their way there.

Sadly, the Quartz Lens disappeared from the lighthouse and the way has been lost. It's heartbreaking, really.

Player: "How did it disappear?"

Pirates. Only scum like that would sink so low.

They stole it and buried it in their den or some other hidden retreat.

If only we could find the lens... We're hampered by the fact that most of those pirates are long dead.

Player: "And the dead are rarely chatty."

There might yet be a way. I've heard some rumors that might point you in the right direction.

Years ago, before ...well...before this was a frozen waste, Baugi was a pirate. To his credit, he's worked hard to make up for it.

He might know something that could help. Ask Baugi about the lens--see what he knows.

Player: "I'll speak to him at once."

Yes, it's true--I used to be a pirate. I was young and I needed the work.

It wasn't like a career. I never even bloodied my sword.

Mostly I swabbed decks and stayed out of everyone's way.

Player: "Do you remember the Quartz Lens?"

Quartz Lens...I heard rumors, but I never saw it myself.

If I had to name names, I'd bet that Captain Hinden was involved. He met a pirate's end, but I hear his spirit still gives orders...

Go to the shipwreck in Anair Harbor. If you can find Captain Hinden, you might find your next clue.

Player: "This should be fun..."

(This might be the one.)

Player: "Let's see if I can open it."

(This time for sure.)

Player: "Let's see if I can open it."

That light-blasted Hinden! I told you pirates stole it!

Haha! Serves him right to linger as a ghost. All that mischief he caused....

Thanks to you, the way to Alukina's Palace is clear once more.
