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.

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...
