Isbariya the Resolute's warning is worrisome.

We must determine if interrupting that ritual was ill-advised. What were the Balaur trying to accomplish with that rite?

If they were just trying to bolster their power, it's a good thing we stopped them. But what if they were trying to stop something terrible that could affect us all?

Player: "Where do we start?"

That's tricky. It's not going to be easy to find information about some arcane ritual performed by a secretive group of Balaur.

I doubt the Balaur will tell us.

Can I rely on you, Player, to help me get to the bottom of this?

Player: Accept.

Pay a visit to Pilomenes. He's an expert on Balaur culture.

Explain what happened at the Beshmundir Temple, and ask where we might find out more about the ritual.

Player: "I'll get a move on."

It's stimulating to think I stand in the land of the Balaur.

Is it safe? Is it not? Who knows. All I know is I can smell their sweat from here. Pungent and violent.

What is your business here, friend?

Player: "I'm looking for information on a ritual."

A fascinating challenge.

I know much, but I've not heard of such a rite.

Now, don't despair, comrade. History has many ways of persisting. There's a good chance we'll be able to find accounts of this ritual in some of the older Balaur myths and legends.
