(It's a grimy lump of scrap metal about the size of a Human head.)

(Beneath the grime, complex mechanical components are visible.)

(The corrosion indicates the object is ancient.)

(Chairman Vellun would be interested in this.)

Player: "I should see him soon."

Here I thought I had too much to do back in Pandaemonium...hah! I haven't slept in a week!

I know the cause is just, but still, I'm a scholar at heart, not a supervisor.

I don't suppose you've come to relieve me, Player?

Player: "Not exactly...look at this."

Oh my. This is...this object... It predates the Cataclysm.... You said you found this in the Petralith Canyon, Player?

This is a fascinating find. I would love nothing more than to investigate myself, but my responsibilities here keep me preoccupied. Indefinitely.

But this could be very important. I need to locate a scholar in the area.... Blast this personnel shortage.... Ugh, not Tanar.... Itar is occupied...aha! Helline is near there.

She was one of the brightest scholars I'd ever met, but now she's a Dramata Chaser. No idea what that is, but evidently it's important to her. Ask her to investigate this device, and give her my regards.

Player: "I'll do that."

This is one of the most perilous places in Gelkmaros, and that's saying a lot.

I can't imagine what brought you all the way out here.

I don't suppose you're hunting Dramata?

Player: "Afraid not. Vellun sent me with this."

The Chairman? He knows I'm not a scholar anymore. I walked away from that life a long time ago.

Wait...what's this...I've seen this before.... Reshanta comes to mind.

Well.... I don't like shirking my duties as a Dramata Chaser, but this looks important. I can't imagine where or even when it came from, but I'll take a look.
