Quest Acceptance
Almet: What you seek lies in the heart of the K'mul Astropolis. Unfortunately, it too was sealed shut by order of His Eminence. If we are to open it, we must first look to the Morning Stars. Come, I will show you the way.
Speak with Almet
Almet: You were able to keep up, I see. Well done. Ahead lie the Morning Stars, four monuments built in tribute to the guardians of Rak'tika. Beyond them is the Great Pyramid of Ux'ner, where the flow of magic must be restored. It is said that the monuments are themselves the keys to opening the pyramid. Though I know not how. That is for you to discover. Y'shtola: ...Another puzzle. Wonderful. I would have a closer look.
Almet: I must confess, there are times when I too wonder what lies within these ruins. But I would never defy the will of the emperor.
Speak with Y'shtola
Y'shtola: It is indeed another puzzle, but for a blessing, it appears to be similar to the one we encountered at the lake. These statues are all depictions of the divine beasts mentioned on the tablet. No doubt they will open the way into the pyramid in like manner. We have but to discern the correct order. Let's split up and search the area for clues. Almet: These ruins are covered in ancient inscriptions. The answer may well be hiding among them. Y'shtola: Indeed. It may be best to transcribe them if they are as numerous as you say. Better that than risk overlooking something. Though transcription would prove impractical for you, not being versed in Ronkan script... No matter. You will employ a different approach: impressions. Here. I had thought to use these clay tablets to record any significant imagery we discovered, but they will serve you just as well. Take impressions of any inscriptions you find. We will start at the base of the pyramids. You begin at the top. When you have finished, return here and I will translate your findings.
Use the clay tablets on the inscriptions
You take an impression of the writing inscribed on the monument.
Deliver the clay tablets to Y'shtola
Y'shtola: I trust you've made good use of those clay tablets?
Y'shtola: Well done. A moment while I decipher what you've found.
Y'shtola: Apologies for the delay. Nothing we saw at the base of the pyramids gave any hint as to the solution of the puzzle, focusing instead on how to proceed having solved it. Your findings, on the other hand, appear to form a riddle. Once assembled, it reads as follows... Y'shtola: “Come together, share despair. Y'shtola: “Go thy ways, dread burdens bear. Y'shtola: “Mark the crown, heed its call. Y'shtola: “Avert thy gaze, forever fall.”
Y'shtola: I had assumed that the puzzle would involve a sequence, but from what Almet and I were able to gather, it is but a matter of suffusing one of the statues with aether. The question being: which one? Have you any thoughts?
Speak with Y'shtola
Y'shtola: Now, which statue will it be? Owl Statue Y'shtola: All right. I pray this works.
Y'shtola: The aether has been absorbed... Y'shtola: You really do have a talent for these things. When you were swimming to open the seal, notice the position of the statues (Answer is - Owl Statue.):
Speak with Almet
Almet: The way should be clear now. Come, let us─ Almet: Someone approaches!
Cymet: Sister! <pant> <pant> Sister! Almet: Cymet? What are you doing here? What has happened? Cymet: Eulmoran soldiers. They have entered Yx'Maja! Y'shtola: Eulmoran soldiers!? And what of the Blessed? Cymet: Nothing specific, but it seems the Eulmorans had little interest in Slitherbough or its people. According to our scouts, their general and his men made all haste for the gate to Yx'Maja upon finding it. Together with Thancred, Uimet and some few others have engaged them at the border. Almet: You are to return and assist Uimet at once. They are not to set foot near the ruins or Fanow. We will see to matters here and return as quickly as we can. Understood? Cymet: Yes, Sister. Be careful. Y'shtola: Though I knew time was short, I did not expect the Eulmorans to move so swiftly... Y'shtola: But we have come too far to turn back now.
