A recent scouting report mentioned suspicious movement among the Balaur.

According to the report, they have been abducting members of the Reian tribe.

Here, take this.


Player: "A blood-stained cloth...?"

We found this blood-stained cloth where the Reian tribe members were abducted, but have a look at it. See how the stains aren't just random? They're patterned, like some kind of message....

Go see Ortiz. He's a survivor from the tribe--and the one who alerted us to his fellows getting kidnapped in the first place.

Maybe he'll have some insight on the cloth.


Player: "Got it."

Did Fjoelnir send you? What's this...?

Ah! These symbols are part of a code my people use--it's for passing messages without the Balaur intercepting it. This...

...this code refers to mind magic. It means some of our tribe's minds have been twisted against them. Against us.... These dragon-worshippers have a horrific way of enchanting others. They plant these... strange seeds inside those they abduct. Then, after a time, the seed releases its curse.

The curse destroys the carrier's memories and ability to reason. It twists them worship Beritra, themselves. This is... well, it's possible to remove the effect, but it is not easy.


Player: "How?"

Here, take this scepter. It was... a truly incredible gift from a Daeva. It can cleanse the minds of my tribesfolk. Just be careful with it--this is a symbol of hope for our people.

Find the Destroyed Gargoyle at the building in the Cursed Underground City. It is a Teleport Statue which can take you to Udas Temple. Our bretheren are surely there.

And if you can, destroy Kura Stormgaze. She has been responsible for twisting the minds of our kin in the past--she is surely involved now.

Player: "I will."

(It is a stone statue of only a torso.)

(A blood smear in the same pattern as the cloth you were given has been left on the statue's base.)

(It seems to be the Teleport Statue that Ortiz spoke of.)

Player: "Udas Temple, here I come."

What happened to the other Reian tribesfolk?

Did you save all of them?


Player: "Yes."

Thank you.... Beritra's curse is... horrific.

We'll get back to the others and warn them, before more are abducted.


Player: "Travel safely."

Good, I am glad it helped. I'll take it from here, and cleanse those we continue to rescue.

Thank you so much, Player. You are a blessing.
