    NPC:
  • Clarissa The Ankh of Eternity: Exile... you've helped me before. You can help me again, can't you?

    The Ankh of Eternity. If the legends are correct, the Ankh has powers over life and death... when paired with the correct Azmerian ritual.

    I've learned the ritual. All I need is the Ankh of Eternity and I know I can bring Tolman back.

    Will you retrieve the artefact for us?
  • Hargan The Ankh of Eternity: A word of caution. That ankh, it might have had some miraculous powers but I bet there's a nasty reason why Veruso hid the bloody thing away. I've tried to warn Clarissa, but her ears seem as dead as that boyfriend of hers.

    • Area: The Sarn Encampment
    NPC:
  • Clarissa Tolman: Poor Tolman... he was never really with me, was he. Just the shell of a man I loved. Wherever he is now, I hope he is at peace, and that he can forgive me for not being able to let go.

    Here, take something, for at least helping me. And thank you, for... for everything.
  • Clarissa Tolman: How could I have been so stupid? Veruso didn't hide the ankh out of shame. He hid it out of fear, out of... oh my, what did the ankh really do to his wife? Everything I saw, that I read... lies to cover the truth of what Chiara had really become.

    Alright, I'll destroy the ankh. We've come a long way since Veruso's day so I'm thinking I can manage where he so sorely failed. At least that's something I know I can do right.

    I'll meet you back at the encampment soon. For now I need to... look, I'll just see you there. I promise.

  • Maramoa The Gemling Legion: I was out hunting food for our encampment. Like a prowling cat I was, but what I saw marching across the ruins made me feel like a little mouse.

    Gem-studded warriors pounding the earth, lead by their strongest... a Captain. I've known of these gemling legionnaires, how they were once the personal swords of Emperor Chitus. But now they rise again, with this Captain at their fore. Swallowing my fear, I followed the Captain and found a force being gathered within the Grain Gate.

    Exile, I know it's not fair for me to ask, you have done so many things for us, but if you were to find the Captain and slay him and his men, I would honour you greatly.

    Our little town would not survive an onslaught such as the Captain is likely to enact upon us.
  • Maramoa Clarissa and Tolman: If I am a watchful owl then you are the courageous hawk, swooping with sharpened talons to wrench the serpent from the child's neck. Clarissa will bear that wound for the rest of her life, but I am glad you were there to save her from following poor Tolman into the dirt.

    Perhaps now that Clarissa has lost her love of death, she will finally be able to embrace life.
  • Cavas, Forgotten Spirit Cavas' Past: I was a Templar, yes, but now I remember that I secretly despised them. I understood that they were a diseased organization prone to brutal oppression. Friend, was I exiled as well? I cannot imagine my resentment would have gone over well with my superiors. Maybe I kept my thoughts to myself and lived a life of quiet desperation, but I feel like I was the kind of man to act.

    So what did I do?
