You say, "Hail, Olgen"
Olgen says to you, "Ah, greetings, Siada. Izius told me about your work with him, and he said I would be able to count on your assistance."
You say to Olgen, "I see, and who are you?"
Olgen says to you, "My name is Olgen, and I was once one of Izius's students."
You say to Olgen, "Once? You mean you aren't any longer?"
Olgen says to you, "My path lies elsewhere. I have heard the voice of the Truespirit Harbingers, and it is time for me to answer that call. And it is time for you to as well."
You say to Olgen, "And how is it that you think I can help?"
Olgen says to you, "The Truespirit have spoken your name, Siada. The work you have done in cleansing the Blight has not been forgotten, and the Harbingers have requested your presence."
You say to Olgen, "What is it they want?"
Olgen says to you, "I do not know... my role was specifically to help you begin on your journey. The Harbingers have opened a portal to the spirit realm out in the Commonlands. It is there they wait for you. Enter the portal, and speak with the eldest of their order."
You say to Olgen, "Very well. I'll search for the portal."
You say, "Hail, Elder Patriarch Vuzx"
Elder Patriarch Vuzx says to you, "Greetings, mortal. I have been expecting to see you."
You say to Elder Patriarch Vuzx, "Hello, Vuzx. Elder Animist Sahdi said that I should speak with you."
Elder Patriarch Vuzx says to you, "And as well that you should, as my teachings are instrumental to the path of the beastlord. I represent Ralissk, the eldest and wisest of the Great Truespirit. It is Ralissk who helps the beastlords to make sound decisions in their journeys, ensuring their survival and the survival of those under their care."
You say to Elder Patriarch Vuzx, "Very well, what is it I can do for you?"
Elder Patriarch Vuzx says to you, "Show me your ability to survive on what you can find. There is a bush that grows near the shores of the Enchanted Lands. The berry of this bush only lasts for a short time on the branches. If it remains, it withers quickly and spoils on the branch. The withered berries are poisonous, and can be dangerous. See if you can discern the difference, and look for the healthy bushes."
You say to Elder Patriarch Vuzx, "I see. All right, I'll see if I can find the healthy berries. Farewell for now."
You say, "Hail, Field Priest Keven"
Field Priest Keven says to you, "Hello, mortal. You have come to receive my teachings, have you not?"
You say to Field Priest Keven, "I have. Elder Animist Sahdi sent me to speak with you."
Field Priest Keven says to you, "Then listen well to what I have to say. The Great Wolf Spirit, Kaldrahir, is known among the Truespirit for his natural leadership ability. It is he who teaches the skills necessary to carry those who follow through the darkness. If you are to carry those teachings, you will have to demonstrate your own leadership skills."
You say to Field Priest Keven, "Very well, and how might I do that?"
Field Priest Keven says to you, "There is a small glade not too far from here. A family of wolves had taken up refuge there, but the parents were slain by poachers. The pups still live, although not for much longer - they are weak, and cannot hunt food themselves. Demonstrate your natural leadership capabilities by providing food and leading the pups to eat."
You say to Field Priest Keven, "Where can I find this glade?"
Field Priest Keven says to you, "Look for the entrance on the southern part of the Commonlands, near where the Bloodskull extractors are. The glade is hidden by a large boulder, but the extractors are close to uncovering it, which would spell the end of the pups. Find the glade, and feed the pups so they can move on."
You say to Field Priest Keven, "I will return once this is done. Farewell for now."
You say, "Hail, Gardunk"
Gardunk says to you, "You made me wait too long! The Awakening is coming, and I have much to say!"
You say to Gardunk, "My apologies, but I came as soon as I could."
Gardunk says to you, "Well, since you don't impress me with your timeliness, we will try with your task. There was an original codex of the Khati Sha on Luclin, but it was lost when the moon was destroyed. Shards of the codex fell to Norrath in shards of the moon."
You say to Gardunk, "Where can I find the shards?"
Gardunk says to you, "Check in the fields of the Commonlands. U'lla, the Strong Hearted, is the embodiment of bravery and conviction among the Truespirit. You will need to beware of the creatures there, and show courage and tenacity when you are searching for the Codex pieces. They may not be easy to find."
You say to Gardunk, "I'll bear that in mind. Farewell for now."
You say, "Hail, Animist Poren"
Animist Poren says to you, "Greetings, Siada. Elder Animist Sahdi said that I should expect you soon."
You say to Animist Poren, "He did tell me to come and see you. I have come to see what task you might have me do."
Animist Poren says to you, "If the beastlords are to walk Norrath again, they must know how to protect that which is important to them. Marisha Kur, the Den Mother, teaches us to look after what is under our care. This is both for those we are directly responsible for, and those we are indirectly responsible for, as both will in turn provide for us."
You say to Animist Poren, "I see. What is my task, then?"
Animist Poren says to you, "There is a small hidden cove just off shore. There is a small boat near the Fisherman's Trail dock that you can use to get there. A group of turtles have just laid their eggs there, and a group of nearby aqua goblins will certainly devour the eggs if they found them. Go to the cove, and protect the eggs that are in danger."
You say to Animist Poren, "Very well. I will return once I have finished the task."
You say, "Hail, Bordag"
Bordag says to you, "You have come. Bordag is pleased."
You say to Bordag, "Hello, Bordag. I was told to speak to you and to hear your teachings."
Bordag says to you, "Bordag will not teach you. You will teach you. Elnakii is strongest of Truespirit. Body and mind of Elnakii is as one. You must fight strong foe - prove you strong of body and mind."
You say to Bordag, "Where can I find this foe?"
Bordag says to you, "A strong bear waits for you in its cave, which is along the cliffs just west past the entrance to Darklight Wood. He is the Scar Bear, and he is also mighty. He knows he must test mortals, and fears not death. Face the Scar Bear, and defeat it."
You say to Bordag, "Very well. I'll defeat the Scar Bear, and return."
You say, "Hail, Elder Patriarch Vuzx"
Elder Patriarch Vuzx says to you, "Welcome back, Siada. Have you gathered the ripened berries?"
You say to Elder Patriarch Vuzx, "I did. I believe these are the ones you requested."
Elder Patriarch Vuzx says to you, "The ability to observe your surroundings and make good decisions - both through experience and intuition - is deeply important to the path of the beastlord. Not only in the wild where they are most comfortable, but also in the chaos of combat. Without that survival instinct, a beastlord can never hope to reach their potential."
You say to Elder Patriarch Vuzx, "I understand. What more should I do for you?"
You gain Alternate Advancement experience by completing a quest!
Elder Patriarch Vuzx says to you, "I could send you on more errands, but for now, I believe you have shown me enough. Take this token, and be on your way."
You say to Elder Patriarch Vuzx, "Farewell to you, Vuzx."
You receive Medallion of Ralissk.
You say, "Hail, Field Priest Keven"
Field Priest Keven says to you, "Ah, you have returned. What did you find out?"
You say to Field Priest Keven, "I was able to save the wolf pups."
Field Priest Keven says to you, "That is good to hear. Kaldrahir would be quite pleased with your demonstration of leadership and your choice to look after those in your care. There is a relationship between the predator and the prey, and you helped both with your actions, by ensuring that the wolves can eat, and that the deer are not overpopulated and find themselves starving."
You say to Field Priest Keven, "Thank you, Keven. Was there more to be done?"
You gain Alternate Advancement experience by completing a quest!
Field Priest Keven says to you, "Not from me - you have proven yourself in my eyes. Take this token as proof of your deed. Farewell to you, Siada."
You say to Field Priest Keven, "Farewell to you."
You receive Medallion of Kaldrahir.
You say, "Hail, Gardunk"
Gardunk says to you, "You have returned. And with the pieces of the Codex, I hope?"
You say to Gardunk, "I was able to find all of the pieces of the Codex, I believe. Here you are."
Gardunk says to you, "This is excellent. We will see that this is repaired and once again presented to the beastlords on Norrath. It is important that the beastlords demonstrate courage in the face of adverse odds, and find a way to continue their tasks no matter what. This tenacity must be present in every great beastlord."
You say to Gardunk, "Indeed. What more must I do?"
You gain Alternate Advancement experience by completing a quest!
Gardunk says to you, "Nothing, we have seen your tenacity for now. The real test of mortals will come once the beastlords walk your world again. Take this token, and go with my blessing."
You say to Gardunk, "Thank you, Gardunk. Farewell."
You receive Medallion of U'lla.
You say, "Hail, Animist Poren"
Animist Poren says to you, "Have you managed to protect the eggs?"
You say to Animist Poren, "I was able to. I drove off the goblins, which should hopefully help keep the eggs safe."
Animist Poren says to you, "One day, those turtles could become valuable allies to the beastlords, so preserving them is important not just to them, but to all. You have shown that mortals are capable of looking outside of themselves, for whatever their reasons inside might be."
You say to Animist Poren, "Thank you, Poren. Is there more for me to do?"
You gain Alternate Advancement experience by completing a quest!
Animist Poren says to you, "No, this will be sufficient. Take the token, and go with the grace of Marisha Kur."
You say to Animist Poren, "Farewell to you."
You receive Medallion of Marisha Kur.
You say, "Hail, Bordag"
Bordag says to you, "You come back. You find Scar Bear?"
You say to Bordag, "I did, and I defeated it."
Bordag says to you, "You do very good. Nature always in conflict. Those strong of both body and mind can reach their full potential. Without this, beastlords cannot be truly strong. You show that you are strong in both body and mind."
You say to Bordag, "Was there more for me to do?"
You gain Alternate Advancement experience by completing a quest!
Bordag says to you, "No, this enough. You take token. I see strength in mortals in you."
You say to Bordag, "Thank you, Bordag. Farewell."
You receive Medallion of Elnakii.
You say, "Hail, Elder Animist Sahdi"
Elder Animist Sahdi says to you, "Have you spoken with the other Harbingers? Were you able to complete their tasks?"
You say to Elder Animist Sahdi, "I have. I brought their tokens as proof of my accomplishments."
Elder Animist Sahdi says to you, "Let me see those... Yes. This is excellent. You have earned the right to carry the Codex back to Norrath, and present it to those who will become the teachers for the Third Awakening."
You say to Elder Animist Sahdi, "Who am I to take the Codex to?"
Elder Animist Sahdi says to you, "You've already met him - Olgen, who heard our whispers, and guided you our way. He is to lead a new generation of beastlords for Freeport, using the new Codex of the Khati Sha as a guide for his teachings. Take the Codex to him, and pass on our message."
You say to Elder Animist Sahdi, "All right, I'll take the Codex to him. Farewell to you, Sahdi."
You say, "Hail, Elder Patriarch Vuzx"
Elder Patriarch Vuzx says, "I wonder if mortals are truly ready for the new Awakening?"
You say, "Hail, Field Priest Keven"
Field Priest Keven says, "The Bonding will soon begin."
You say, "Hail, Gardunk"
Gardunk says, "We must be certain that this Awakening lasts throughout time."
You say, "Hail, Animist Poren"
Animist Poren says, "Now that the Blight is cured, the Truespirit can once again guide the spirits of Norrath as they have in the past."
You say, "Hail, Bordag"
Bordag says, "The mortals will need to master their strength."
You have entered North Freeport.
You say, "Hail, Olgen"
Olgen says to you, "You've come back. Were you able to find the Harbingers?"
You say to Olgen, "Yes I was, and I have a message for you."
Olgen says to you, "That is great news! What happened?"
You say to Olgen, "They sent me on a series of tasks as a test. When I completed the tasks, they gave me the Codex of the Khati Sha, which I am to give to you."
Olgen says to you, "To me? Why?"
You say to Olgen, "The Truespirit have tapped you to become the teacher of the beastlord trainers of Freeport. You must use the Codex as the basis for the teachings, and prepare for the Third Awakening."
You gain Alternate Advancement experience by completing a quest!
You gain 1160 XP!
You receive 11 Silver, 37 Copper for completing The Word of the Harbingers - Freeport.
Olgen says to you, "It would be my honor. Freeport will become stronger with the emergence of the beastlords, and I will help to ensure that those who follow their path are ready to confront our enemies. Thank you for bringing me this Codex - I will see it is put to good use."
You say to Olgen, "I know you will. Farewell to you, until we meet again."
You receive The Codex of the Khati Sha.
You say, "Hail, Olgen"
Olgen says, "The lessons of the Codex will help me to teach a new generation of trainers for the path of the Beastlord."
