Hierophant Oxyn, Cabilis
"Greetings, and may the pain of the ancients guide you. You have come to us for guidance, have you not? We are the Hierophants of Cabilis and we guide the young Scale Mystics. All petitioners shall speak with me of [temple tasks]."
"The Temple of Terror requires all young Scaled Mystics to [perform daily tasks.]. The tasks are necessary to the upkeep of our order as well as that of our brothers, the Crusaders of Greenmist."
"We require many components for various rituals. Take this Component mortar and fill it with the following items – foraged [mud crabs]. two small mosquito wings and one portion of bone chips. You must then use the pestle and combine all the components. When you have a full component mortar, you may return to me and I shall pay you your wages, but most importantly, you shall prove your devotion to the Scaled Mystics."
"Mud crabs are tiny crustaceans which live along the mudcaked shores of the Lake of Ill Omen. You can forage for them and find a handful of them at a time."
"You must have heard of the Trilac Brotherhoods disappearance. They are the skulls of three soon to be ancients. They were taken from this temple by a silent intruder. Crusaders are always on duty. I do not know how they got into our vault. Every petitioner is ordered to search for the three skulls and return them to me along with their petitioner cudgel and then they shall become clairvoyants."
"If you are looking to be handed the Iron Cudgel of the Clairvoyant then you are sadly mistaken. Perhaps if you were to gather a few [lost skulls] for the temple we may find you worthy to wield one."
"A couple of rogue mystics have taken two skulls from another one of our temples. They could not have gone far, but i fear that one of the skulls was [damaged] in their escape."
"A guard had managed to attack one of the mystics, but hit the bag carrying the skull. I fear that the skull has been damaged, but it can be repaired. Acquire it's pieces and some Mendglow clay to put it back together."
"The bottle contains deklium in a liquid solution. The metal of prophecy has been determined to rest in a mass of living earth. Our scholars have written of a mass of ore that fell from the heavens. This ore was used in the creation of a blade of our father, Rile. We have been filled with visions of this blade. I have seen it in the hands of our Crusaders as they march towards the new age of Greenmist! Seek out the corrupted earth that guards the interlopers. We have an alchemist near there. He will be able to use the deklium to determine which golem contains the metal. Take care to go in force. I sense that there will be a battle."
"We appreciate your service. Take a few copper for your deed as well as some of our cursed waters. They will provide you with nourishment. As for future tasks, we are searching for a few [lost skulls] and i am sure you are searching for your [iron cudgel of the clairvoyant] And i also hear that the furscales are in need of some broodlings to do some manual labor. Tell them Oxyn sent you."
"Excellent, you have retrieved the three skulls of the ancients for us. There are yet mroe skulls that I must ask you to retrieve before I can assist you in furthering your progress to becoming a clairvoyant. I will tell you with whom you need to speak to to continue the path of clairvoyance upon bringing me the [other skulls]."
"We are in your debt. You are truly one who shall collect all the lost ancient skulls. Take your weapon. Go to Hierophant Zand and he shall guide you further. Tell him you are [the chosen saviour]."
"I don't need that."
