Bestowal dialogue

You examine the stone carefully and determine that the darkness within the stone is moving. There is no doubt in your mind or to your eyes. It swirls with a malevolence of a violent storm. Though it appears dangerous, there is also something about it that is both enticing and intoxicating.

You shake your head and clear your thoughts before falling too deeply into a trance brought on by the swirling darkness in the stone.

There must be someone who knows what this is. Perhaps the mission givers in Cardolan and Swanfleet know something.

Background

After completing a mission, you found a zircon with a conspicuous darkness embedded in the gemstone. After careful examination, you decided to seek out someone who might be able to determine why the darkness seems to swirl and move within the gem. Perhaps one of the mission givers will know what this is.

Objective 1

  • Take the unnerving zircon to a mission giver in Cardolan or Swanfleet

After assessing the stone and almost falling under the sway of the swirling miasma within the gem, you decided to bring it to one of the mission givers. Perhaps this is something that they have seen before and can help you identify the cause or purpose of the darkened gem.

mission giver Glad you have returned, <name>. This little gem has a darkness inside. Can you see it swirling there just below the surface? I can. Gives me a chill every time I think what force could have woven such darkness into the stone. Makes me think of you and others like you; always willing to risk yourself for the good of the many.
You see, I think that there is a chance that these might root out truly malicious creatures lurking in the shadows. I have worked with a few others and we put our assets together to provide rewards for worthy adventurers like you. If we can find more of these gems and release the darkness from within them, we might all turn a profit. The gems are beautiful aside from this terrible flaw and they'll likely fetch some good coin when cleansed.
Take one out on a mission to see if you can find a way to cleanse the darkness within?'
