Bouquet of Alyssa's Blessing

The fall of Tazoon has created chaos and confusion throughout the region. Many refugees have fled to camps and villages nearby, but some have yet to be found. Elsa Batos, former Manager of the Bank of Istaria, died in the explosion. You found her ghost and helped protect the vault and its contents, but she is now concerned about Lialione, her long-time friend.

Quest text[edit]

You have done the Bank a great service, <player>. Now, I hope you will help me with a more personal matter. You see, there is someone who is special to me and she needs to know what has happened to me. More than that, she needs to know how I felt, feel even now, about her.

She claps.

Her name is Lialione and she was the Guardian Trainer in Tazoon. Wait, I see that you know of her... and you have spoken to her recently! She lives, truly?!?!

That brings me great joy, to know that she survived the destruction of the city. Please, <player>, will you take her something from me?

There was a flower called Alyssa's Blessing that she loved and she often had a bouquet of them on a table in her home. They are grown by only one person that I know of, a Dryad named Teana Pluirean. You can find her in the village of Kaiyar.

You've heard of Kaiyar, haven't you <player>? No? It's a small village located just to the west of here. There's quite a tale to tell of its origins and re-emergence. The villagers will be happy to tell you all about it, I'm sure.

Please, <player>, speak to her and acquire a bouquet of Alyssa's Blessing for Lialione.


Good day to you, <player>. May Alyssa bless you wherever you go and in whatever you do. How may I help you today?

A bouquet of my flowers? Elsa... Elsa the Bank Manager? Oh, that is terrible news! So much destruction and so much death.

I would be happy to provide you with a bouquet of flowers, but perhaps you'd run get some water for me first? There's a well on the other side of town. As soon as you get back I'll have that bouquet ready for you.

You have collected sufficient water. Return to Teana.

Oh, thank you <player>. Just give me a moment to water them and I'll get what you came here for.

There, amazing what a little drink of water will do for them, isn't it? Alyssa's Blessing indeed! Now, give me another minute to collect you a proper bouquet of my best.

Okay, here we are, <player>. Thank you for having a bit of patience with me. One must take good care of the bounty that Alyssa has granted us, don't you think?

You have received 1 Bouquet of Alyssa's Blessing.


Where did---? How did---? <player>, did you find her? Where is she?

Dead... In my heart I held out hope of a happier ending... but, <player>, how did you know about my favorite flowers?

Her spirit remains? Thank you for this wonderful memory. Now, if you would please tell me all that you know about her fate and this spirit of her who remains behind.

You have received 1 The Bromeliad of Tazoon.
