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.
