Canyt Klannarr |
|
YOU: Have you discovered anything interesting lately? |
|
-Canyt smiles happily.- |
|
Canyt: Oh yes! |
Canyt: I just uncovered this most interesting find. |
|
-Canyt picks up what looks to be a skull.- |
|
Canyt: This appears to be the skull of a Derghir. |
Canyt: It is very old, perhaps thousands of cycles. |
Canyt: It looks different. |
Canyt: Perhaps this is a sign of how much Derghir have changed over time. |
Canyt: This could be a very valuable find for study. |
Canyt: It could help us understand the Derghir and where they came from. |
Canyt: I need to keep looking. |
Canyt: In the mean time, can you take this to my sister, Nyshyn? |
Canyt: You can likely find her by the ruins near Gugrontid, across from the lake. |
Canyt: Will you help me figure this out? |
Canyt: I will pay you for your time. |
|
YOU: Sure, I'll be happy to help. YOU at your service. |
|
Canyt: Oh thank you. |
Canyt: I'm going to see what else I can find. |
Canyt: For now take this to Nyshyn and see what she says. |
|
-Canyt wraps the skull in a cloth and hands it to you.- |

Nyshyn Klannarr |
|
YOU: Canyt found this and wants your opinion. [You hand Nyshyn the package.] |
|
Nyshyn: My sister? |
Nyshyn: What does she think she's found this time? |
|
-Nyshyn takes the package and unwraps it.- |
|
Nyshyn: Hmm, a skull? |
Nyshyn: It appears to be Derghan. |
Nyshyn: Nothing remarkable about it, other that it appears to have sustained some damage over time. |
|
-Nyshyn continues to examine the skull.- |
|
Nyshyn: There looks to be some scratch marks here, like from an animal, but they seem more recent. |
Nyshyn: I think that's all for now. |
Nyshyn: There's not much more I can say without studying it awhile. |
|
-Nyshyn wraps the skull in the cloth again and hands it to you.- |
|
Nyshyn: Maybe my sister is onto something here, hard to say. |
Nyshyn: You might want to take it to Jardet Forsill. |
Nyshyn: He knows about Derghir. |
Nyshyn: Maybe he can tell you something. |

Jardet Forsill |
|
YOU: This was found near the Eagle Bronze Doors, what can you tell me about it? |
|
-Jardet takes the package and unwraps it.- |
|
Jardet: A skull? |
Jardet: It appears to be Derghan. |
|
-Jardet continues to observe the skull.- |
|
Jardet: This has sustained quite a bit of damage. |
Jardet: Derghir are like Kran, you know. |
Jardet: They are made of stone, not flesh like you and I. |
Jardet: So they decompose much differently. |
|
-Jardet points to a spot on the skull.- |
|
Jardet: Here. |
Jardet: There is a mark, like it was scratched by something. |
Jardet: A large bird, perhaps. |
Jardet: Could be a pterosaur. |
Jardet: Check with Krestal. |
Jardet: He's familiar with those big birds, he trains them. |
Jardet: You'll find him near the temple. |
Jardet: And do come back at some point and let me know what this is about, I am curious now. |
|
-Jardet gives you a smile as he rewraps the skull in the cloth and hands it to you.- |

Krestal Dhusho |
|
YOU: This skull was found near the Eagle Bronze Doors, what can you tell me about the marks? |
|
-Krestal takes the package, unwraps it and takes a look.- |
|
Krestal: Ah yes, these marks… |
Krestal: They are from a large bird. |
Krestal: A ptero…no not a pterosaur, smaller. |
|
-Krestal uses his finger to measure the distance between the marks.- |
|
Krestal: This is made by a megaras. |
Krestal: They are smaller than pterosaurs. |
Krestal: Hmm, Eagle Bronze Doors you say? |
Krestal: Yes, they like to fly around out there. |
Krestal: They have a tendency to pick up things with their claws. |
Krestal: I hope this helps. |
Krestal: I would tell that to whomever gave this to you. |

Canyt Klannarr |
|
YOU: The skull has fresh marks from a megaras. |
|
Canyt: Aha! |
Canyt: That might be how it got here. |
Canyt: But that still doesn't explain where it came from. |
Canyt: At least we're are getting somewhere. |
Canyt: And look! |
Canyt: I found this amulet nearby. |
Canyt: I think it has a connection to the skull, in fact I'm sure of it. |
Canyt: Another piece to this mysterious puzzle. |
Canyt: We will figure this out yet, YOU. |
|
-Canyt seems excited as she hands you the amulet.- |
|
Canyt: Let's start with my sister again. |
Canyt: Give the amulet to her and see what she says. |
Canyt: I'll see if I can find anything else. |

Nyshyn Klannarr |
|
YOU: Canyt found this amulet. |
|
-Nyshyn sighs, seemingly annoyed.- |
|
Nyshyn: What does my sister want now? |
Nyshyn: An amulet, eh? |
|
-Nyshyn takes the amulet and takes a quick look at it before handing it back.- |
|
Nyshyn: What does she think I'd know about it? |
Nyshyn: Try Jardet again. |
|

Jardet Forsill |
|
YOU: Can you tell me anything about this amulet? |
|
-Jardet takes the amulet and looks closely at it.- |
|
Jardet: Well it has seen it's better days, hasn't it? |
Jardet: It was found with that skull? |
Jardet: Perhaps it was worn by the owner. |
Jardet: Hmm, I have an idea. |
Jardet: Not far from here is a Derghir village, near the pass. |
Jardet: Derghir tend not to say much but see if they can tell you something about it. |
Jardet: If you have one of those Derghan bells, I'd suggest you take it with you. |
Jardet: It could make communicating with them easier. |
|
-Jardet hands back the amulet.- |
|
Jardet: And let me know what you find out. |

Boilghere |
|
-[You give Boilghere the skull and amulet.] Excuse me, can you tell me anything about these?- |
|
-Boilghere slowly sways and eventually looks at the skull. His reaction is subtle, then he looks at the amulet. He begins to sway quickly and breathes heavily, clearly agitated.- |
|
Boilghere: It is my ancestors. |
|
-He looks back at the skull.- |
|
Boilghere: They belong to my father's father! |
Boilghere: We lay the items to rest when I was still young. |
Boilghere: Why do you have these?! |
Boilghere: Did you disturb them? |
Boilghere: I take these and put them in their rightful place! |
|
-Boilghere holds the cloth with the skull and amulet closely, then settles down and goes back to swaying.- |
|
YOU: They were found by an archaeologist. |
|
-slowly sways and look at you. continues to sway and stares at you, clearly angered.- |

Jardet Forsill |
|
YOU: Seems it's the remains of an elder. |
|
Jardet: Interesting. |
Jardet: That makes sense. |
Jardet: While you were gone I remembered something I read awhile ago in my studies of the Derghir. |
Jardet: Upon the death of an elder, they make a trek outward towards the labyrinths, often near the Eagle Bronze Doors because of the cavern there. |
Jardet: They slowly make their way to the bottom and bury their dead. |
|
-Jardet snaps his fingers.- |
|
Jardet: I got it! |
Jardet: Here is what I think happened: many years ago, they buried the elder. |
Jardet: The dirt there was probably washed away over time by weather. |
Jardet: A megaras comes along, grabs the skull, and drops it where it is later found. |
Jardet: The amulet must have still been attached to it and fell away when it was dropped. |
|
-Jardet smiles with satisfaction.- |
|
Jardet: I do believe we have solved the mystery. |

Canyt Klannarr |
|
YOU: [You tell Canyt what happened and what Jardet told you.] |
|
Canyt: What? |
Canyt: You mean… |
Canyt: I have disturbed someone's remains? |
Canyt: Oh no! |
|
-Her ears droop and she puts her head in her hands.- |
|
Canyt: I - I thought - it looked so old, like it was ancient. |
Canyt: I am so disappointed. |
|
-Canyt shakes her head rapidly.- |
|
Canyt: Ah well, no matter. |
Canyt: Such is the nature of archaeology. |
Canyt: You never know what you'll find. |
Canyt: Sometimes it's rare and exciting, sometimes it's someone's relatives. |
Canyt: I was so hopeful though. |
Canyt: Please don't tell my sister about this. |
Canyt: Just tell her it turned out to be unremarkable. |
Canyt: Otherwise I'll never hear the end of it. |
Canyt: Thank you for your help, though. |
Canyt: At least the mystery is solved. |
Canyt: As promised, here is some coin for your time and travel. |
Canyt: Also, here is a book I got recently, a shield making diagram I think. |
Canyt: I got two and already gave one to my sister. |
Canyt: I was just waiting for someone worthy to give the other one to. |
Canyt: Thanks again, YOU. |
|
-Canyt gives you some tria and a book.- |
|
Canyt: And remember, tell my sister there was nothing special about the skull. |

-Nyshyn rolls her eyes.- |
|
Nyshyn: Figures. |
Nyshyn: All that and it turned out to be nothing? |
Nyshyn: Ah well, that's Canyt for you. |
