You know, I went inside Taloc once. Just once, though. I haven't been affected like other Daevas, but it did make me quite sick.

I saw the oddest thing inside, though: a Shulack. He seemed to be living there. In fact, he tried to sell me something.

Player: "Quite strange indeed...."

I didn't have a lot of Kinah, so I didn't even really look at what he was selling. I think he was disappointed.

Well, I also wasn't sure if I was hallucinating the whole thing to begin with--I'd been feeling ill for a while by then.

Lately though, I've been thinking about him again, and I've come to the conclusion that he was real.

Player: "And the point is...?"

I want to know what happened to him, what he's doing there. You've been inside Taloc safely, which is why I'm asking you.

His name was...something like...Doris? No, Doria? Wait, it was Dorkin! If you ever return to Taloc, can you find this Dorkin and ask about his life?

Player: Accept.

Thanks! The curiosity is killing me! Besides, it's dangerous in there, and I'm a little concerned.

For a Shulack like Dorkin to live in such a place alone, something must've happened.

If he needs anything like food, let me know. I'll be happy to send whatever he requires.

Player: "Wish me luck."

Whaaa...? No, do not hurt me! I did not do anything....

What? Oh, you are a Daeva. I thought you were...no, never mind. Did you want to buy something?

Player: "I'm curious about you...."

Oh, it is a pretty uninteresting tale.... But I admit I have a shady past.

I was actually exiled--this was the only place I could find to live. My family was exiled too, but of course they did not want to stay with me. Hurting them is my biggest regret.

Actually, maybe I have met you for a reason. Have you heard of my daughter, Chenkiki? If so, please give this to her. It's food for her and other refugees.

Tell her that her father loves her, and misses everyone....

Player: "I'll be sure to tell her."

M-my father? He died in an accident long ago. My family has been wandering since I was very young.

Why do you ask about my father? Do you know something about him? I have always wondered--my mother would not tell me much.

Player: "I met someone named Dorkin...."

He...he is alive? My mother lied to me? She died when Balaur drove us from the village, so I cannot ask her now.

But he...now...I do not know what to think....

Please leave me alone for a while, Daeva. I need to think. But take this as thanks for telling me the truth.
