I assume Pilomenes explained the basics to you.

Neither of us is sure whether it's the Balaur or their followers who are responsible, but there seems to be a way of opening up a new Stigma slot.

As a Stigma Master, I couldn't help but be intrigued. But the document tells some of how the ceremony is conducted.... Nothing else.

Player: "So you need more information?"

Indeed. Pilomenes is the only Daeva who can shed some light on the ceremony. After all, he's read the entire document repeatedly.

At the very least, he'll know where to start looking. Would you talk to him and find out where we should begin?

Player: Accept.

Thank you, Player! Odd that Pilomenes sent you to me without this information, but we'll play it his way for now.

See if you can bring back any materials we may need, too. If we can get this to work, I'll open a new Stigma slot for you as payment for helping.

Player: "I'll get what we need."

Arieluma, Player! Did you see Reemul?

Why are you back here so soon?

Player: "We need a location."

A location? Hmmm, I had hoped he might know. I suppose I'll have to figure this out myself after all.

Let me ponder this...maybe start there...no, no, that won't work...the temple....no, no....

Ah! I got it!

Player: "What?"

Faithful Respondent Utra! He's connected to much of what's in the Ancient Dragonbound Document, including this stigma ceremony!

Given time, I should be able to reconstruct the ritual itself, but we still need to find the necessary components. Utra will tell us that part.

You already poured Perfumed Oil over the altar in Beshmundir Temple, so simply putting your hand on it should summon Utra.

Player: "That's a great idea!"

Ye who awakens me...may ask what thou wishes.

Player: "What do I need for a Stigma slot ceremony?"

The Spirit's Incense Burner...

And Scroll of Repose...

Player: "Where can I find them?"

T'was at one time...in the Oracular Chamber.

Nary 'tis now. Whither goest, I know not.

Player: "Where were they last seen?"

Tiamat's servant Aeshma...hath thine Incense Burner.

Stormwing's servant Bhemah...hath thine Scroll. Hither in Beshmundir.

Player: "Thank you, Utra. Rest now."

At last, you've returned, Player.

Pilomenes taught me the Stigma slot ceremony. All we need now are the materials. Did you get them?

Player: "Here's the incense burner and scroll."

I held faith that you would find the items needed to make this ceremony happen, Player. We can start by opening a new Stigma slot for you.

(Lighting the incense burner and opening the scroll, he raises his hands overhead and chants a spell.)

Can you feel the energy flowing through your body, Daeva? It is working. You now have a new Stigma slot...for your journeys ahead.
