Quest-Related Events

King of Dust

When approaching her, she will be waiting impatiently:

"Hmm, where could it be?"

Her group have been spying on Dominion activities in Zuuk and found out that a Kothringi villager was captured and may have knowledge on a keystone, however he needs to be rescued from Dominion captivity:

"Not so loud. You'll betray our position."

What are you doing?

"I'm one of the vicecanon's scouts. I've been watching Dominion activity in Zuuk for days.

Zuuk has been abandoned for years, the only one who lives there now is a crazy Kothringi. The Dominion tied him up in the center of the village."

What's happening now?

"They're searching for a magical relic called a keystone. If they find it, they could cause much havoc in Shadowfen.

Maybe that Kothringi can help us find it before the Dominion does. Could you infiltrate Zuuk and rescue him?"

Yes, I can.

Asking her further questions about the Kothringi and the keystone:

"Be careful with that Kothringi. From what I've seen, he seems a bit unstable.

That's if he's really a Kothringi. He'd be the last of his kind."

Who are the Kothringi?

"Some say they were descended from the Nedic humans. They lived in Black Marsh as far back as records go.

The Knahaten flu destroyed their culture. We thought they were all dead."

What's a keystone?

"They're relics that tap into Loriasel's power. Anyone who controls all the keystones and Loriasel itself would become nearly unstoppable.

Obviously, it would be disastrous if the Dominion got them."

What is Loriasel?

"Loriasel is an Ayleid ruin.

We knew it protected a well of great magical power, but we never knew how to unlock it, not until the Dominion started poking around for the keystones."

After freeing Drillk, you can ask her about Zuuk:

What do you know about Zuuk?

"The Kothringi settled around an Ayleid ruin.
We heard all the villagers were killed by the Knahaten flu, but there's one survivor."

After you freed Drillk's subjects and before you speak to Drillk:

"Have you found out anything about the keystone yet? Why are you out here?"

Drillk asked me to do a few things before he'll tell me where the keystone is.

"By all the…fine. Then you'd best get on with it. We can only hope the Dominion doesn't find the keystone while you're doing errands for a mad Kothringi."

After the quest:

"The Dominion still hasn't found the keystone, you should still be able to swipe it under their nose."

Into the Temple

After speaking to Drillk and before entering the Temple of Sul:

Drillk says it's inside the Temple of Sul. I'll be heading there soon.

"Watch yourself in there. Ayleid ruins are no place for the unwary.
I must remain here to encode a report for the vicecanons. They'll be very interested in what you've uncovered so far."

If you absorbed the keystone, then speaking to her will lead to this conversation:

"You've been gone for some time. How'd it go?"

I recovered the keystone, so to speak. I seem to have absorbed it.

"Absorbed it? I'm not sure how I'll report that to the vicecanons, but you recovered it. That's all that matters."

If you left the stone with Drillk:

"You've been gone for some time. How'd it go?"

Drillk would've died had I taken the keystone from him. We can't use it.

"Hey, I wouldn't want the death of the last Kothringi on my conscience. Far as I'm concerned, the keystone was lost to the swamps."

If she's spoken to after the quest is completed:

"You go on ahead. I'm going to stay here to see if I can learn about the Dominion's plan for Shadowfen. Thank you for keeping the keystone out of their hands."
