Journal
- Linu Vali is cooking up a plan to improve relations with the Zundu.
- ※The difficulty of this quest will be synced to your current level.
- The relations between the Zundu and Gundu have been strained ever since Linu Vanu's remarks at Ok' Zundu. However, Linu Vali has a plan to invite the Zundu to Ok' Gundu Nakki for a feast, an important gesture of friendship in Vanu Vanu culture. Her responsibility is to prepare fish for the main dish, but she requires a rare seasoning, Abalathian rock salt, which is possessed solely by the Vundu. She will head to Voor Sian Siran with her fishing pole, and she asks you to steal into Ok' Vundu Vana and procure a chunk of the salt from the Vundu stores.
- ※Please note that the difficulty of this quest has been synced to your current level. Furthermore, you may not proceed with a class or job that is different from when you accepted this quest.
- After searching the Vundu village, you find their stores of Abalathian rock salt and pick the purest looking chunk you can find. Return to Ok' Gundu Nakki and give the salt to Linu Vanu.
- You hand over the Abalathian rock salt to Linu Vanu, who is confused as to why his sister asked you to deliver it to him. It seems Linu Vali has neglected to tell her brother of her plans for the feast. Linu Vanu is impressed at her initiative, but regrets that she must go to so much trouble on his account. He thanks you for standing by his sister's side during these troubled times, and even though he knows she has grown, he still worries for her safety, asking you to go check on her at Voor Sian Siran. Journey to the islands and see if the novice cloudfisher has caught anything.
- You arrive to see Linu Vali cowering before a hungry-looking cloudworm, and slay the beast before it makes a meal of the Vanu. Check on Linu Vali's safety.
- Linu Vali thanks you for saving her yet again. In her concentration she lost sight of her surroundings, allowing the beast to sneak up on her. However, it seems she was able to catch a fish suitable for the feast, and hurries off to Ok' Gundu Nakki to begin preparation.
- The feast is a rousing success, with Vanu Vanu of both tribes coming closer through the exchange of quips and stories. The progress of Ok' Gundu Nakki is continuing apace, but the question still remains as to how long this peace can last.
Dialogue
Accepting the Quest
Linu Vali: [Forename], it is as Linu Vali fears. Ever since Brother visits Chief Sonu, the relationship between Zundu and Gundu is tense. Linu Vali: We must do something before tension grows into animosity, disrupting all Gundu and Zundu work together for. Linu Vali: Linu thinks upon problem for many sunrises, and decides that Gundu shall hold a feast for Zundu! Linu Vali: To treat friends to banquet is meaningful act among Vanu. When we gather around blazing cooking fires, all grudges wash away like tears in rain. Linu Vali: Linu is to prepare fish for the main course, so she goes to Voor Sian Siran, to make a catch even Eenu Vanu envies. Food that the cook catches with her own talons is all the more delicious! Linu Vali: However, as essential as the fish is the seasoning! And Linu wants to impress, so she asks [Forename] to gather a mineral most precious: Abalathian rock salt. Linu Vali: Vundu hold the cloud sea's entire supply, so Forename must venture deep within Ok' Vundu Vana to where their storehouses lie. Search them, and bring back most pure chunk you can find. Linu Vali: Linu needs time─and concentration─to make suitable catch, so she asks that [Forename] gives the rock salt to Brother. Watch, [Forename], Linu returns with cloud sea's most succulent fish!
Delivering the unclouded Abalathian rock salt to Linu Vanu at Ok'Gundu Nakki
Linu Vanu: Greetings, netherling. Sister says to expect something from you, although she says not what it is... <Unclouded Abalathian Rock Salt> Linu Vanu: Abalathian rock salt? And as cloudless as clear summer skies! To obtain such a mineral is no easy task. What does Sister hope to use this for? Linu Vanu: A feast? And Sister prepares the main dish, no less? Ah, it is just like her to put on a brave face. But as mist after spring rain, her courage is often fleeting... Linu Vanu: But it is not Linu Vanu's place to doubt her. It is because of my rudeness at Ok' Zundu that she goes to such trouble. It is shameful that my actions burden her so. Linu Vanu: Sister changes, it is plain to see. Not long ago, she clutches at Linu's feathers, fearful to wander too far from my gaze. But now, her conviction to build our new home spurs growth, so much that Linu sometimes does not recognize her. I thank you for standing by Sister's side during this time, netherling. Linu Vanu: Alas, although Sister is no longer frightened nestling, to leave her alone in the wilds brings Linu Vanu worry. For all Sister's conviction, still she is delicate, with arms like branches of birch tree. Endymions stalk the skies, and beasts worse still skulk in the waters... Linu Vanu: As chief, Linu Vanu must watch over village. Netherling, pray visit Voor Sian Siran and see that she is safe. (Optional) Linu Vanu: Linu Vanu worries for Sister's safety. Netherling, make way to Voor Sian Siran and ensure she is unharmed.
Speaking with Linu Vali
Linu Vali: [Forename]...thank you for rescuing Linu yet again. Linu Vali: Cloudfishing requires patience, and focus... Linu's surroundings fade into background, until there is only the fishing line and lure. Linu does not hear the cloudworm steal upon her... Linu Vali: Maybe the worm smells Linu's catch. Fish is so plump, leftovers from feast feed tribe for moons! Come, [Forename], let us return to Ok' Gundu Nakki before meat spoils!
Speaking with Linu Vali at Ok'Gundu Nakki
Linu Vali: Brother gives Linu Vali rock salt [Forename] takes from Vundu. With such rich seasoning, fish will be the talk of Ok' Zundu for moons to come! Linu Vali: And now, Linu Vali cooks! Of course, [Forename] is welcome to feast as guest of honor!
Cutscene
Linu Vanu: Does Sanu know why Honu, chief of Vundu, wears such ornate mask?
Sanu Vanu: The mask is symbol of his power, no?
Linu Vanu: Chief Honu wants others to believe so, but Linu knows true reason. He masks the feathers on his head, which are thinner than newborn hatchling's! Hahaha!
Sonu Vanu: Many times Chief Uunu and Sonu sit around fire such as this. Sonu still remembers well the power of his dance. He moves with the intensity of the sun itself, and drives all darkness into hiding.
Linu Vali: Linu wishes to one day dance with Father's vigor. Both to honor his memory, and to protect Ok' Gundu Nakki!
Sonu Vanu: Linu Vali may still be young, but Sonu knows she will become a great member of the Gundu tribe. Maybe one day, she becomes chief!
Linu Vali: Chief Sonu makes Linu Vali blush! Linu is but a nestling still!
Sonu Vanu: Hahaha. It is but a joke, Linu.
Linu Vali: All Zundu praise feast, particularly the fish! We look forward to sharing many meals together in coming moons. Of course, [Forename] is welcome to sit alongside the cooking fires with us any time.
