Quest text[edit]

Speak with Jolan

<Adventurer School>, could you do me one further favor?

  • Yes, what do you need?

Thank you, <player>. My wife... she is a miner in Parsinia. Would you give her news of my fate?

  • She does not know that you died?

I do not know, but please... To see her again would help still this fire in my soul. She must surely be worried about me. Please, when you tell her, be gentle. She was the greatest thing in my life, I miss her greatly.


Find Annis, Jolan's wife, who is in Parsinia and tell her about Jolan's fate.

Yes? Can I help you?

  • I am here about your husband, Jolan

I'm sorry? What? Jolan? You have news of him?

  • Yes, I do. I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I'm afraid your husband has died.

What? No...no. I... I longed for it to be otherwise, but deep down I knew it was so. Oh, Jolan... He came to me before leaving and said they had found a great treasure and were going to recover it. He did not say where, only that it could be dangerous but he promised to return soon. He said he'd be able to give me everything we always wanted! And then they disappeared... We searched for weeks, but you cannot hold out hope forever... and it's been more than a year. Did you find his friends? Are they dead as well?

  • Neither of his friends were there with him.

That is odd. I have no idea what could have become of the other two. Where did you say he was?

  • <You give her directions>

Speak with Annis

I thank you, <player>, I will go visit him as soon as I can. Would you please take this ring and give it to him? It was a sign of our union and... I.. I'm not sure I will be able to go see him just yet. I will soon though... yes, soon. Please give him the ring and let him know I will try to come see him soon.


Deliver Annis' Ring to Jolan on Spider Isle south of Kion off the coast

You seem familiar... G-gifted... yes, I remember now. Have you seen my wife, Annis? Tell me everything, <player>.

  • <You tell him everything you learned from his wife>

She gave you her ring? And she is coming here? Thank you. If I am doomed to this existence, seeing her will help. What of my friends? Vannes and Illinos? Did they escape the wrath of Vekh?

  • Your wife knew nothing of their fate

Speak with Jolan

Surely they would have been able to escape while I was being attacked... My memories of my death are hazy... Give me time, I will think about it. For now, you have my thanks. This ring, it was a symbol of our union... now shattered because of my greed. Please, <player>, take it. I cannot bear to see it here, mocking me for eternity. Besides, what do the dead need of jewelry? It will serve you well.
