Description: Talk with Harknes. Talk with Nonnos. Talk with Outremus. Decipher the report you obtained from Hanarkand Quartermaster. Summary: Outremus sent you to decipher the report. You talked to Harknes and Nonnos and found out that the report concerns delivery of supplies to a protector of some type. You reported these odd findings to Outremus. Full quest's text: Show/Hide Now that I look at it more closely, I think this report may be in some form of Balaur. I know a bit, and it's not exact...but it does have some basic syntactical similarities. We're going to need help from a linguist to translate this. Player: "Know any good linguists?" Harknes. Take the report to him. He studies Balaurea, so he may be able to decipher it. Player: Accept. You can usually find Harknes downstairs, over by the Food Distribution Office. If he can't decipher it, he may know someone who can. See what you can find out. Player: "I'll go find Harknes." Mmmm! Well hello, gorgeous. What can I do for such a fine look'n young Daeva? I've been buried in books since I arrived in Inggison and haven't had time to get out much, so I thank you for brightening my day! Player: "Umm...right. Can you translate this report?" Ah, a report. Let's see. Hmm...you took this report from the Dragonbound? Well, it's not in standard Balaur. Best guess, it's written in an ancient Balaur dialect. That's about all that I can tell you. You should go talk to Nonnos. He's not as charming as I am, but he specializes in ancient Balaur history and knows more about Balaur languages than I do. Don't hesitate to come back and see me...for any reason. Player: "Yeah. Must run now...busy, busy!" Arieluma, young Daeva. What can I do for you today? Do you have something interesting for me to look at? I'm just waiting for Glareth to return with my lunch and a copy of that new report on pre-Cataclysm Balaur industries. What have you got there? Player: "Can you read this report?" Glasses, glasses...where'd I put my glasses. Ah, there they are. Now, let's see what you've got. Interesting. It has similarities to ancient Balaur...see that symbol there? That's the symbol for Aion. I don't recognize many of these other symbols, but I can give you a loose translation. It's addressed to a protector and talks about supplies needed for some type of ritual. Apparently, only half of the supplies are being sent. Oh, and that symbol there, that's Drana. I can't make out much more. Player: "That's very helpful. Thanks." You are back, Player. Did you meet Harknes? What did he say about the report? Player: "Nonnos translated part of it." A ritual? Really? That's terribly dramatic. And what kind of a ritual involves Dranas? Odd. The more we learn, the more mysterious this becomes. Be that as it may, you've done well, Player.
