Who am I? I am a Daeva of Life.

I have spent my life protecting and caring for all life that resides on Atreia. Plants, beasts, sentient species, it matters not. All life is precious.


Life is a challenge, young Daeva. Since you are here, perhaps you could assist me with one of those challenges?

Some time ago, I was inside of Taloc and I met a rather scraggly Shulack tinker. I tried to approach him, to give him solace and Kinah, but he ran away.

He has been weighing on my mind. Would you check in on him for me?




The inside of Taloc is not exactly a thriving spot to run a business. There must be a good reason for his presence there.

See if he will tell you his story.

His name...his name was...Ah! I remember! It was Dorkin.


Who? Me? I am no one.

You should forget you have seen me. I am only one Shulack, I do no harm. I seek only to make a quiet living here in Taloc.

Kindling, I sell kindling and such. Would you like to buy some before you go?


Oh, Daeva, you do not want to hear my story. It is too sad. Disgraceful. I...I was not wise. I failed my family. Why do you listen? You are unlike other Daevas. You, you seem to care about Shulacks. Perhaps, perhaps you would help one such as me?

It is not for me I ask. It is for my wife, my children. I do not know what happened to them after I left. I have failed them so badly!

Would you find my son Seikin and give him this sack? It is full of supplies I collected and bought. It is not much, but it is all I have to give. And tell them I am sorry...and I miss them....








Who? My father? He sent this? He is really alive?!

I told Setzkiki he was...and I tried to believe it, but I was not sure.

Was it really dad? He is truly all right?


Sniff! I...I miss mum and dad!

They made dad go away. Then, when we were evacuating the village, a Balaur shot mum with a fire arrow!

Do not tell Setzkiki! She is too young to understand. Take this. It is for you. For the good news you have brought us.
