  • The wandering minstrel wishes to hear all about how you raged against the machine.
  • Inspired by your battle against the colossus, the minstrel launches into song once more, portraying your trials and tribulations in the Dravanian hinterlands in predictably hyperbolic fashion. Make your way along the shores of the Thaliak and discuss your recollections of the event with Redbrix.
  • Whether it be through the gift of the Echo, the power of the poet's verse, or a combination of the two, it would seem that you can now relive your exploration of Gordias. Though you are generally loath to look back, it is not impossible that stepping into the past may be of benefit to you in the future.
    • ※Gordias (Savage) may be accessed via the Duty Finder.

Talk to Wandering Minstrel in Mor Dhona (Accepting the Quest)

Wandering Minstrel: The whispering winds bear tales of an adventurer's derring-do unto mine insatiable ears.
Wandering Minstrel: But one episode in particular whetted mine appetite. Did you perchance encounter a colossus of steam and steel in Dravania?
Wandering Minstrel: Ahhh, so it is true. Pray speak on then, friend. I would hear more of your trials and tribulations within the towering automaton.
Wandering Minstrel: ...A god born of goblin prayer? A citadel upon legs whose very life spelled death to all without? How...how marvelous!
Wandering Minstrel: My muse stirs at the mention of such wonders...and moves me to song! Hearken now unto your own tale, brave hero!

Talk to Redbrix
