Paushs Ooan: Ah, Alphinaud's friend. You and your companions have done much to repair the damage caused when the waters parted...
Paushs Ooan: ...Anything elssse you can do? Hmmm... Have you been to the Walls of the Forgotten?
 
Q1: What will you say?
 
A1: I...think I've just come from them.
Paushs Ooan: The remnants to the northwest, yesss? You visited them unbidden? Pshhh... Could it be that your footsteps were guided by the ancientsss...?
 
A1: Are they the ruins to the northwest?
Paushs Ooan: Yesss, that is the sacred site of which I ssspeak. Could it be that your footsssteps were guided there by the ancientsss...?
 
Paushs Ooan: I believe it may be ssso. Listen then, and I will tell you of our plans to bring light to the Walls, that we might answer the shining call of the illuminated land.
Paushs Ooan: We have requested a finless craftsman to shape for us a sssacred lamp. He is odd for a land-dweller, choosing as he does to live in the ocean, but his ssskill is beyond question.
Paushs Ooan: It is concerning, however, that we have heard nothing of his progress. If you were to visit this artisan and return with our long-awaited light, then any doubt as to your purpossse would be laid to ressst.
Paushs Ooan: His name is “Grenoldt.” You will find his workshop in a metal structure to the sssouth.
Paushs Ooan: Go, visit Grenoldt in his “Workbench.” Bring back the lamp we asssked for, and all will be as the ancients desired.
 
Grenoldt: Oh, that's just great, that is. Me mind's playin' tricks on me now. “Look, Grenoldt! Someone's come to visit ye ''at the bottom o' the bleedin' ocean''!”
Grenoldt: Or might be as yer a ghost, eh? Go on, foul shade, feast yerself on me rotten soul...
Grenoldt: I've got no use for it. A craftsman what can't craft is more pointless than a sea slug with a domin' hammer. An' that's an insult to bloody sea slugs...
