    NPC:
  • Petarus and Vanja The Storm Blade: Vanja: You did it! They found it, Petarus, they found it!

    Petarus: By the gods, Garukhan's famed Storm blade...

    Vanja: Do you know what this means, my sweets? Once we find the right collector...

    Petarus: ...we can go anywhere, have anything. We will be like royalty!

    Vanja: But the storm inside is a problem. It's too volatile in its current state.

    Petarus: You're right, we can't trade away a weapon of such apocalyptic nature.

    Vanja: This will require some pondering, my love. In the meantime, thank you, exile. Take your pick of our stock.
  • Niko, Master of the Depths Introduction: Well, this nice little outpost here's been, shall we say, marred. Don't get me wrong, I love a splash of colour, I just don't love that colour splashing on me and my friends here. Why do I get the feeling you were involved...?
  • Niko, Master of the Depths Introduction: Blood everywhere around here... Startin' to remind me of my time in that little room back in Oriath. All that digging really made a mess of me hands. The mitts ain't just for protecting me against the sulphite you know.
  • Niko, Master of the Depths Introduction: How can there be this much blood, exile? Where's it coming from? Where's it going? Know what I think? I think it's going back into the mountain. One big loop, exile. One bloody big loop, and someone's down there pumpin it.
  • Niko, Master of the Depths Introduction: This is a bad omen, exile. A real baaaad sign. What if all the water's turning to blood, eh? They say the Cataclysm did all sorts of strange things. This seems pretty strange to me! Been having a lot of dreams where I drink all that blood up. My body swells up like a big grape. Can't hold it in. BANG! I'm gone. What do you think that means, eh? Maybe I'm the only one who can stop it... Maybe I'm the reason it's here in the first place.
  • Niko, Master of the Depths Introduction: Quite liked it here, you know, right up until the bloody mountainside started bloody... well... bleedin'. Thought for sure I was hallucinating, 'til the others started screaming and scrambling. Always nice to get a little reassurance about your sanity, eh?

  • Area: Highgate
    NPC:
  • Petarus and Vanja The Maraketh Calendar: Petarus: Have you ever heard much of the Maraketh legends?

    Vanja: A truly unique cosmology of strange creatures, pagan gods and powerful treasures.

    Petarus: One such story talks of a magical stone dial...

    Vanja: A Maraketh Calendar, said to detail important events in the future of our world.

    Petarus: General Adus, a war hero of the Empire, reported in his diaries of discovering a dial meeting that description at a dig site somewhere in the Foothills.

    Vanja: It appears the war hero had a secret penchant for archaeologies...

    Petarus: But the cataclysm wiped the land clean, and buried the dig site in rocks and sand. No one has been able to locate it since, nor the stone dial.

    Vanja: Seems that with everything that's been going on of late, knowing what's due to happen in the future, could be a fairly profitable ability...

    Petarus: We know you would never have use for such a gift...

    Vanja: It would remove all the enjoyment out of adventure for someone like you!

    Petarus: Yet, In times such as these, us small folk could do well with a heads up if something particularly nasty were to occur. Besides, a relic like that should sit in a museum...

    Vanja: ...Or our collection...

    Petarus: ...Not be lost beneath the rubble where it benefits no one.

    Vanja: If you were to track the Calendar down for us, we would pay you handsomely, exile.

    Petarus: Yes, we are traders of antiquities after all.
  • Petarus and Vanja Bottled Storm: Petarus: Well, it took some time, but thanks to our Maraketh neighbors...

    Vanja: ...and their ancient traditions...

    Petarus: ...We managed a strain of thaumaturgy, to remove the storm from Garukhan's blade.

    Vanja: We even bottled it for safekeeping.

    Petarus: We'd rather not trust anyone with this sort of power, but perhaps you can use it to clear away that sandstorm in the desert?

    Vanja: Find out what sort of nasties are hiding out there in the desert and put a stop to them!
  • Petarus and Vanja The Storm Blade: Vanja: You did it! They found it, Petarus, they found it!

    Petarus: By the gods, Garukhan's famed Storm blade...

    Vanja: Do you know what this means, my sweets? Once we find the right collector...

    Petarus: ...we can go anywhere, have anything. We will be like royalty!

  • Sin Shakari: In the Maraketh desert, an Oasis lies to the east, its waters shielded from prying eyes by a preternatural storm. The sand will rip the very flesh from your bones, should you be so foolish as to enter into its dark shroud. Yet, enter you must.

    The goddess Shakari hides within that golden blizzard, festering with revenge as she resurrects and rebuilds her ancient army - an army that once threatened to shake the very balance of these lands.

    Should she be allowed to revitalise her troops, the whole of Maraketh will finally fall under the cruelty of her selfish reign. The storm is impenetrable for now, even to the likes of me, but there must be a way in.

    These Highgate locals, they have an affinity for the desert and harsh weather. One of them may know of a way to disperse the storm.
