Everyone's on edge these days! As bad as with that rumor that Elyos spies had followed Deltras here. Oh, that was awful.

It spread like a fever. Locals, people born here, were accused, tortured, then found to be innocent!

There was no basis for it, yet we turned on each other. I fear what will happen now, when there's a real threat!

Player: "What? Here?"

You haven't heard? Daevas are going missing, Player!

Pandaemonium dispatched soldiers to find them, and even they're jumpy. I fear that madness will seize us again if it's not resolved quickly!

Utgar is one such searcher. He's asked us a strange favor. He wants as many Spiner Stones as we can find.

Player: "Any idea why?"

The Stones capture sounds. We've used them for decades to sing our children to sleep.

I wonder...perhaps Utgar thinks they might hold the voices of missing Daevas, and wants to check them.

Can you help, Player?

Player: Accept.

Utgar's mission is strictly confidential, Player. Don't tell others you're involved, or what we're doing.

Just collect the Spiner Stones and take them to Utgar.

And shadow guard you, soldier. I don't want to lose any more of you Daevas.

Player: "I'll do all I can."

Yes? What do you want?

Speak, [%userclass]. I have enough business as it is.

Player: "Kellan sent me."

Oh that blithering--! No doubt he's filled your head with ridiculous stories.

If you want to help, just fetch me Spiner Stones. I'll pay you for them, all right?

Player: "I'll be quick and quiet."

Kellan is a waste of time and skin. Where he gets these outrageous ideas I can't imagine.

I need these stones, yes, but not for the missing Daevas. A craftmaster in Pandaemonium wants them.

If Kellan runs his mouth, he'll get us all in trouble. Take this, and keep quiet, please.
