I hope you're here to help us reconstruct Impetusium.

We're right next to Black Claw Village, so a rebuilt Impetusium would give us strategic dominance over the Mau and over southern Altgard.

But look around you--rebuilding these ruins is an overwhelming task. So let's put you to work, [%userclass].


There are a million tasks to be done. But my biggest problem right now is the Hero Spirit[pl:"Spirits"]s.

Something awakened them a few weeks ago and they rose out of the ground to attack our workers. As they draw near, you can sometimes hear them whisper about battling the Mau.

Because the Mau wiped them out, the Ancient Heroes are out for revenge--and they don't realise that we aren't Mau.


Sadly, yes--we need the spirits disrupted so reconstruction work can resume. We're behind schedule as it is, and Commander Suthran is not known for his patience.

You cannot permanently destroy the Hero Spirit[pl:"Spirits"]s, but you can force them to dissipate for a while--and that buys us time. And time is something we desperately need.




You got rid of the Hero Spirit[pl:"Spirits"]s?

Excellent. Now we have only a million-minus-one tasks to complete...until the spirits reconstitute themselves, that is. Then we're back where we started.

But we can actually make progress if we can appease the Ancient Heroes. And to do that, we must make it impossible for the Mau to summon the heroes' most hated foe: Umkata.


I sent a message to the Fortress, and Centurion Morn came up with a plan.

The Mau chieftain, Umkata the Restless, was notorious for his ferocity and bravery. The present-day Mau revere him and could theoretically summon Umkata's ghost.

The Ancient Heroes died at Umkata's claws, so they're determined to prevent that. But if we--or you, to be precise--summon Umkata's ghost and destroy it while it's still weak, then the Ancient Heroes might rest in peace.


I found out what the three items are that you need. They’re Umkata’s Bones, his weapon and his earrings.

If you place these objects in front of his grave, Umkata will awaken. If we then kill him, he will vanish forever and the old hero’s soul will finally be able to rest in peace.

Then the problem will be solved forever.

Player, will you take on this task? Gather Umkata's Three Tokens, awaken him and kill him.
You can find Umkata's Bones in the Black Claw Village, with the [plur]Brutal Black Claw Bodyguard and the [plur]Feral Black Claw Hunter.

Umkata's Jewel Box, containing his earrings, is supposedly hiding somewhere in the north of Impetusium. Fly there and find them – look everywhere.

The earrings were hidden away because the [plur]Bladestorm Spirit and the [plur]Cyclone Spirit stole Umkata’s Weapon. So if you kill the spirits in Impetusium, you will obtain Umkata's Weapon.

Umkata the RestlessFinally, head to the coast in the south of Impetusium and look for Umkata's Grave. If you place Umkata's Three Tokens in front of the stone, Umkata will awaken, and then you can kill him.
(The tombstone emits a low, throbbing hum.)

(To summon Umkata, place the three objects in front of the tombstone.)
(The hum continues. Nothing happens.)

(Try offering all three at once.)
You're back! That means Umkata's spirit is no more, eh?

Tell me what happened.


Well done, Player. The Ancient Heroes should return to the Aether, and then I can start hiring workers again.

Best of all, I get to report success to Commander Suthran. Soon we'll be back on schedule!

Here's a gift. It's my way of saying thanks for making this enormous reconstruction...well, a little less enormous, at any rate.
