Quest text

Kedar the Curator in the Shimmering Citadel's museum gave me this broken music box. There must be some secret about it. I believe it is no coincidence that this box has come to me; I must find a way to open it. I have a feeling that the scarabs I will need to place into these depressions on the box will be found somewhere here in the Citadel or the Palace itself.

Completion

I've unlocked the broken music box and found within it more broken objects. This time, they are musical instruments. They will need some work if they are to be repaired. If all djinn are afraid that music may imitate their True Name, perhaps it is true even of the Djinn Master. This might be useful information down the road.
