  • Find the Ribbon Spool

  • Area: The Battlefront
    NPC:
  • Lady Dialla The Ribbon Spool: They are {my} ribbons forever more. Forever more... I hate forever. I could tear 'happy ever after' from bards' bleeding tongues!

    You're still here, Not-a-Cockroach? Oh, gratitude. Yes, I should give you a token. A token. What token? This? Is this to your liking?
  • Clarissa Statues: I know, so strange that stone and metal should move and live as you and I.

    Still, I read that Chitus' sculptors used to soften their materials with 'thaumetic sulphite', a by-product of gem refining. It's the only connection that I can fathom between the cataclysm and the living sculptures of Sarn.

    NPC:
  • Lady Dialla The Ribbon Spool: What is that you have, Not-a-Cockroach? My Ribbon Spool! Those black ones wanted them, my Ribbons. Wanted to wrap the city in black Ribbons.

    Now they are {my} ribbons forever more. Forever more... I hate forever. I could tear 'happy ever after' from bards' bleeding tongues!

  • Maramoa The Ribbon Spool: This Ribbon Spool device... why would the Blackguards want to protect it, on this side of the river too? What is its import to them? And why have they not taken it back to their encampment?

    I give you only questions, I know. You found it near the Solaris Temple? Then perhaps that's where you should look for your answers.

    NPC:
  • Lady Dialla Chitus: I was the emperor's favourite, for a time. But Chitus had many favourites. He filled the Sceptre of God with favourites. Every now and then, he cleared away the clutter. Those who pleased him, they were given to his lords and generals. Those who did not... were given to his thaumaturgists.

    I talked too much, asked too many difficult questions. I was gifted to Malachai. My dear, troubled Malachai.
  • Lady Dialla Malachai: I loved Malachai. He gave me gems, divine jewels for his Gemling Queen. For his {dead} Queen. But I didn't want me dead! Malachai begged: for him, for the Empire. I chose me... selfish me. The Empire died, and I live. I live, and live, and live, and live.
  • Grigor The Ribbon Spool: You've been busy. With the Spool back where it belongs, the Ribbons should be able to keep the Ebony Legion at bay. We've both seen what they can do to a man.

    Whether you were saving your own skin or thinking of others, it matters little to me. You succeeded where I did not. You have stood in the presence of the Gemling Queen. I can hope only to meet her in my nightmares.
