Lamentations
(1211232498)[Mon May 19 17:28:18 2008] You say, "Hail, Nashii"
(1211232498)[Mon May 19 17:28:18 2008] \aNPC 28739 Nashii:Nashii\/a says to you, "The presence of the Erudites amidst the reign of Lucan disturbs me. I do not think it's wise to get involved in their affairs. My advice to you, traveler, is to let them be; let their plans unfold and let their fate be achieved."
(1211232499)[Mon May 19 17:28:19 2008] You say to Nashii, "Why is their presence so disturbing? "
(1211232499)[Mon May 19 17:28:19 2008] \aNPC 28739 Nashii:Nashii\/a says to you, "Aside from the turbulent history that binds my kin and the Erudites together as hated enemies, they have come beyond their natural selves. The nature of their magical evolution only lends to the suspicion of their more recent subservient disposition. "
(1211232499)[Mon May 19 17:28:19 2008] You say to Nashii, "How do you know about the Erudite's evolution?"
(1211232499)[Mon May 19 17:28:19 2008] \aNPC 28739 Nashii:Nashii\/a says to you, "Tales of kerran history are well kept by its people. The legend of the Erudites' ascension has been recited since the dawn of this event. I would offer you this tale, should you have the ears for it."
(1211232500)[Mon May 19 17:28:20 2008] You say to Nashii, "All right, tell me this story."
(1211232500)[Mon May 19 17:28:20 2008] \aNPC 28739 Nashii:Nashii\/a says to you, "It is said that all Erudites on Odus set aside their differences some time before the great wars and the Shattering. The combined forces of the Heretics and disciples of Erud ventured to the Stonebrunt Mountains and built their fortress of tranquility and fear."
(1211232500)[Mon May 19 17:28:20 2008] You say to Nashii, "That doesn't make much sense..."
(1211232500)[Mon May 19 17:28:20 2008] \aNPC 28739 Nashii:Nashii\/a says to you, "Hehe, indeed, my friend. The citadel was designed to hold the temple to each of the patron deities these societies revered. The Erudites tried to conceal their work from the world beneath this citadel. However, history would not allow our ancestors to be so passive and unassuming."
(1211232501)[Mon May 19 17:28:21 2008] You say to Nashii, "What did the ancestors do?"
(1211232501)[Mon May 19 17:28:21 2008] \aNPC 28739 Nashii:Nashii\/a says to you, "Our ancestors took to sabotaging the citadel's construction during the night. It was when the Erudites stationed more guards that the ancestors were forced to dig beneath the site. That was how they discovered the truth behind the Erudites' efforts."
(1211232501)[Mon May 19 17:28:21 2008] You say to Nashii, "Ok, now this is getting interesting. What did they discover?"
(1211232501)[Mon May 19 17:28:21 2008] \aNPC 28739 Nashii:Nashii\/a says to you, "The Erudites had constructed a base of concentrated arcane power that was obviously the foundation and core of their plans. Fearing another catastrophic event engineered at the hands of careless Erudite meddling, the ancestors took sanctuary on Kerra Isle, abandoning their homeland to the inevitable fate of the continent. "
(1211232502)[Mon May 19 17:28:22 2008] You say to Nashii, "What was the inevitable fate?"
(1211232502)[Mon May 19 17:28:22 2008] \aNPC 28739 Nashii:Nashii\/a says to you, "What happened shortly after the ancestors' retreat was both awesome and frightful. Nearly a week after the retreat, on the onset of dawn, a great sound echoed from the continent like the song of a thousand great whales. Within a few moments, the sound went still and all was suddenly quiet..."
(1211232502)[Mon May 19 17:28:22 2008] You say to Nashii, "What happened next?"
(1211232502)[Mon May 19 17:28:22 2008] \aNPC 28739 Nashii:Nashii\/a says to you, "A cloud of mist radiated from the north, enshrouding the entirety of the continent and the surrounding shores in a thick, shimmering veil of impenetrable fog. All grew eerily quiet. This phenomenon lasted but a few short minutes before the mists retreated."
(1211232503)[Mon May 19 17:28:23 2008] You say to Nashii, "Oh, was the continent gone?! Is that what happened to Odus?"
(1211232503)[Mon May 19 17:28:23 2008] \aNPC 28739 Nashii:Nashii\/a says to you, "No, Odus remained, and to the surprise of those who bore witness, it was as if nothing had occurred. The forests of Toxxulia remained and the snow-capped peaks of Stonebrunt could be seen upon the northern horizon. However, all remained silent and deathly still for the days that would pass."
(1211232503)[Mon May 19 17:28:23 2008] You say to Nashii, "Didn't your ancestors go explore?"
(1211232503)[Mon May 19 17:28:23 2008] \aNPC 28739 Nashii:Nashii\/a says to you, "None dared to tread upon the land, believing it was now cursed or fouled by the Erudites' magic. As the first of the silent days passed, many came to accept that the Erudites had destroyed themselves and all living creatures upon the continent. A lunar cycle would pass before our ancestors learned otherwise."
(1211232504)[Mon May 19 17:28:24 2008] You say to Nashii, "What did the ancestors learn? What did they see?"
(1211232504)[Mon May 19 17:28:24 2008] \aNPC 28739 Nashii:Nashii\/a says to you, "They saw the Erudites much as we see them now. Their altered forms frightened many, warding the ancestors from the continent for many generations to come. What magics occurred beneath the mist are a mystery. The Erudites will not share this tale openly with most, for we think that they too are without answers to their mysterious transformation."
(1211232504)[Mon May 19 17:28:24 2008] You say to Nashii, "That was interesting. Thanks for the story."
return to batarra
(1211232514)[Mon May 19 17:28:34 2008] You say, "Hail, Batarra"
(1211232514)[Mon May 19 17:28:34 2008] \aNPC 28673 Batarra:Batarra\/a says to you in Kerran, "Now do you remember more of kerra history?"
(1211232515)[Mon May 19 17:28:35 2008] You say to Batarra, "I had not forgotten."
(1211232515)[Mon May 19 17:28:35 2008] \aNPC 28673 Batarra:Batarra\/a says to you in Kerran, "Many look at us and think we are but overgrown pets. The kerra are not simpletons, though there are some who behave as though we are!"
(1211232516)[Mon May 19 17:28:36 2008] You say to Batarra, "They are jealous of our lineage."
(1211232516)[Mon May 19 17:28:36 2008] \aNPC 28673 Batarra:Batarra\/a says to you in Kerran, "We kerra have lived and prospered in many places. Even here, where we cannot feel the earth beneath our feet, the wind is desolate and our enemies are our neighbors, we survive. Now then, to the test."
(1211232516)[Mon May 19 17:28:36 2008] You say to Batarra, "The test?"
(1211232516)[Mon May 19 17:28:36 2008] \aNPC 28673 Batarra:Batarra\/a says to you in Kerran, "Keep in mind that everything in life is a test of one sort or another. What did the ancestors discover about the Erudites' citadel on Odus?"
(1211232517)[Mon May 19 17:28:37 2008] You say to Batarra, "That it was filled with cheese in order to lure the ratonga to their doom."
(1211232517)[Mon May 19 17:28:37 2008] \aNPC 28673 Batarra:Batarra\/a says to you in Kerran, "Hm. Perhaps you would do well to speak with Nashii once more."
(1211232517)[Mon May 19 17:28:37 2008] You say to Batarra, "Please give me another chance!"
(1211232518)[Mon May 19 17:28:38 2008] \aNPC 28673 Batarra:Batarra\/a says to you in Kerran, "Keep in mind that everything in life is a test of one sort or another. What did the ancestors discover about the Erudites' citadel on Odus?"
(1211232518)[Mon May 19 17:28:38 2008] You say to Batarra, "That it was filled with cheese in order to lure the ratonga to their doom."
(1211232518)[Mon May 19 17:28:38 2008] \aNPC 28673 Batarra:Batarra\/a says to you in Kerran, "Hm. Perhaps you would do well to speak with Nashii once more."
(1211232519)[Mon May 19 17:28:39 2008] You say to Batarra, "Please give me another chance!"
(1211232519)[Mon May 19 17:28:39 2008] \aNPC 28673 Batarra:Batarra\/a says to you in Kerran, "Keep in mind that everything in life is a test of one sort or another. What did the ancestors discover about the Erudites' citadel on Odus?"
(1211232526)[Mon May 19 17:28:46 2008] \aPC -1 Frasta:Frasta\/a tells Level_1-9 (2), "guard = marr"
(1211232530)[Mon May 19 17:28:50 2008] You say to Batarra, "That the Erudites were hiding a base of concentrated arcane power."
(1211232530)[Mon May 19 17:28:50 2008] \aNPC 28673 Batarra:Batarra\/a says to you in Kerran, "Yes. Once this was discovered, what did the ancestors do?"
(1211232539)[Mon May 19 17:28:59 2008] \aPC -1 Vaonix:Vaonix\/a tells Level_1-9 (2), "marr aye, thank you"
(1211232540)[Mon May 19 17:29:00 2008] You say to Batarra, "They fled to Kerra Isle."
(1211232540)[Mon May 19 17:29:00 2008] \aNPC 28673 Batarra:Batarra\/a says to you in Kerran, "Excellent. What happened not long after they fled to Kerra Isle?"
(1211232543)[Mon May 19 17:29:03 2008] You say to Batarra, "They heard a loud noise, followed by a cloud of mist that blanketed Odus."
(1211232544)[Mon May 19 17:29:04 2008] You gain experience!
(1211232544)[Mon May 19 17:29:04 2008] You receive 1 Silver, 22 Copper for completing Lamentations.
(1211232544)[Mon May 19 17:29:04 2008] \aNPC 28673 Batarra:Batarra\/a says to you in Kerran, "You know the history of our ancestors, Mihw; that's great!"
(1211232545)[Mon May 19 17:29:05 2008] You receive \aITEM 480964434 139147350:the light of Kejaan\/a.
(1211232546)[Mon May 19 17:29:06 2008] You say to Batarra, "Thank you."
(1211232546)[Mon May 19 17:29:06 2008] \aNPC 28673 Batarra:Batarra\/a says to you in Kerran, "Still, it is not enough to know only our history, Mihw. For look around us! We are plagued by the very ones who nearly destroyed our kind! Our ancestors moved away from them...and now, ironically, we are forced to live side-by-side with those glowing freaks!"
(1211232547)[Mon May 19 17:29:07 2008] You say to Batarra, "But we are a peaceful people, Batarra. They cannot harm us now."
(1211232547)[Mon May 19 17:29:07 2008] \aNPC 28673 Batarra:Batarra\/a says to you in Kerran, "Do not let appearances fool you. They twisted our trust before and they do so even to this day! They think we are simple. They think we can be tricked. Yes, we are peaceful, but that does not make us stupid."
(1211232547)[Mon May 19 17:29:07 2008] You say to Batarra, "Are the Erudites plotting against us again?"
(1211232547)[Mon May 19 17:29:07 2008] \aNPC 28673 Batarra:Batarra\/a says to you in Kerran, "If you hear with your own ears, you will never be fooled by them. Some of our people have been keeping an eye on them. Go to "The Hole," a tavern near the Fountain of Anguish. Speak with Miala. She will tell you what she has heard."
(1211232548)[Mon May 19 17:29:08 2008] You say to Batarra, "Once I've heard enough, I will return."
(1211232550)[Mon May 19 17:29:10 2008] \aNPC 28673 Batarra:Batarra\/a says to you in Kerran, "There are challenges ahead, Mihw. You demonstrate eagerness to learn and grow. I am very proud of you."
(1211232551)[Mon May 19 17:29:11 2008] You say to Batarra, "Thank you."
