Unfortunately, it's hard to know where to begin. Balaurea is still new territory for us all.

Still, I think I can at least point you in the right direction for now.

Of course, I may be completely wrong, and your efforts may not bear fruit. But we have to try.

Player: "I'm more than willing."

First, look for the Dragon Lord Memorial Towers. They were built to commemorate the dark achievements of the Dragon Lords.

I know you'd rather destroy them, but they might be important.

Get rubbings of the runes from all the towers, and I'll examine them. Hopefully they'll have information on what exactly is going on at Beshmundir Temple.

Player: Accept.

There is one Dragon Lord Memorial Tower for each of the five Dragon Lords. They are scattered throughout Gelkmaros.

Only four of the towers have been found to date--we still don't know where Tiamat's is located.

Any one of them could contain a clue, so make sure to get rubbings from all four known towers. Be careful--I doubt the Balaur will let you meddle with memorials to their gods.

Player: "They'll regret it if they interfere."

I've been musing over your story while you were gone.

The more I think about it, the more it disturbs me, partly because we simply know so little about the Balaur.

But perhaps today will change things. Do you have the rubbings?

Player: "See for yourself."

I'm not surprised you're having trouble. The Dragon Lord Memorial Towers are sacred to the Balaur, so it'd be hard for a Daeva to approach them.

Have you at least located them? Perhaps a different plan of attack is in order.

Still, I can't do much more without the rubbings, so please obtain them soon.

Player: "I'm doing this as fast as I can."

Excellent! Hmmm...yes....

There is much interesting material in here. I could write a dozen papers on what you've brought me. Sadly, nothing on Beshmundir Temple.

In fact, it's never mentioned at all. Which is odd, since practically every other temple and shrine in Gelkmaros IS mentioned.

The mystery deepens. It seems that we need another source of information.
