Blast! I can't make heads or tails of this. It must be a code, but it's not one I've ever seen. Shards!

I don't know how to decipher this. We need the advice of an expert.

Player: "Do you know anyone?"

Perhaps Wistron? He's here to study Balaurea and should be able to decode the report. He's nearby...can you run this over to him?

Player: Accept.

You'll find Wistron to the left of the stairs in this very building.

Tell him that if he's unable to decipher it, he needs to introduce you to someone who can. We must know what that report says!

Player: "The task is mine."

Greetings, Daeva. Thank you for taking the time to visit.

I wish the other Daevas here at the fortress were a bit more cooperative and friendly. It seems like every time one of them speaks to me, they have a favor to ask.

So, what brings you here?

Player: "I...errr...have a favor..."

I am not surprised. Give me that report....

Hmmmm..... You took this from a Dragonbound? Well, it wasn't written by one of them. My guess is it's written in ancient Balic--which I cannot read.

You might try Athis over there. He studies ancient history and knows more about the ancient Balaur. Or perhaps you should look up Player--a wise Daeva, if the rumors are true, and one I hope to meet someday.

Player: "I will d...wait a moment...."

How may I help you?

Perhaps you'd like to know something about ancient Balic legends or Gelkmaros Fortress?

Player: "I need this deciphered."

This is similar to the language spoken by the ancient Balaur, though it's not a perfect match. My guess is that it's just a code using ancient Balaur in place of key terms.

Without more time, I can't decipher the full text, but I can give you the gist of it now....

Yes, this is...a report for a...sealer? Abjurer? I can't tell, but this talks about a material for some kind of ritual.... Drana would be my guess. It says they are sending only half.

Beyond that, I'm not sure.

Player: "You've been a great help."

That was quite fast, Player. Did you speak with Wistron? Did you find out what the report says?

Player: "I did, but Wistron was..."

Yes, Wistron is like that. Quirky fellow. But a ritual, you say? I wonder what kind of ritual might involve Drana. Religious in nature, perhaps?

Regardless, thank you for the errand Player.
