Neketaka, The Sacred Stair
Director Castol has asked that I assist a group of animancers in Neketaka. They conduct their experiments atop the Spire of the Soul-Seers, in the Sacred Stair district. Flaune Elette, their lead researcher, will be waiting there for my arrival.
Flaune asked me to speak with her at the Spire of the Soul-Seers once I'm ready to give the experiment a try.
Flaune claims that her group of researchers have devised a way to channel my ability to navigate the In-Between to... well, launch me from one adra pillar to another. They'd like me to participate in the experiments.
Something went very wrong with the experiment. I've appeared somewhere in the Beyond.
Looks like I managed to get myself stuck in Rymrgand's domain - something the Beast of Winter is happy to gloat about.
There is no obvious exit from this place. I think I'll have to convince Rymrgand to release me.
I've made it back in one piece. Flaune will want to hear what happened, though I doubt it's anything like what she expected.
While the animancers prepare their machines for further experiments, I can report to Director Castol for more work.
He'll be at the Vailian Trading Company headquarters in Queen's Berth.
Someone critical to the completion of this quest has been killed.
The animancers' experiment did not go at all as planned, but I managed to survive the mishap in one piece. Flaune was apologetic, and gave me coin for my trouble - and in the hopes I'd return for more.
The animancers' experiment did not go at all as planned, but I managed to survive the mishap in one piece. Not the best start to Castol's dreams of scientific progress, but he seemed interested in the results, and rewarded me for my trouble.
After completing this quest, you will be able to play the quest Skipping Ahead.
