You've been inside Taloc? Yet you're still healthy? You're lucky, Daeva. Theilo wasn't....

The idiot believed the rumours, and now he's got an ever-rising fever and blotchy skin. He's weakening every hour.

The General here issued a ban on entering Taloc without permission. Theilo ignored it, and now he's like this. The Aether addiction....

• "Aether addiction?"

That's what we call it. Daevas are exposed to large amounts of Aether inside Taloc, so their bodies start demanding unreasonably high levels all the time. They go into withdrawal once they can't get it.

But just as Taloc introduces the problem, he introduces the solution: tea brewed from Taloc's Young Leaf. Trouble is, he stopped growing long ago, so such leaves are rare.

Still, there are spots of Taloc’s Soil where Taloc's Young Leaf can still grow.

• "But there are risks...."

Indeed. But you have permission to go inside Taloc. You seem to be able to resist Aether addiction.

All you'd need to do is pat down patches of Taloc’s Soil that you find. A Taloc's Young Leaf should sprout.

• Accept.
• Decline.

It won't be easy finding parts of Taloc with the energy needed to sprout Taloc's Young Leaf, but it's Theilo's only hope.

Even if he were to die and return through an Obelisk, his body would still demand more Aether. He needs that cure.

• "I'll hurry as quickly as I can."

Vesvola needs to cure a colleague suffering from Aether addiction. Bring her Taloc's Young Leaves, the only known cure.

Theilo's becoming delusional. He thinks he's a child back home in Brusthonin. He wants his long-dead mother.

His body is crying out for ever-increasing amounts of Aether. There can be no satisfying those demands.

I need that tea made from Taloc's Young Leaf. Do you have it?

• "I think so...."

No, that's not Taloc's Young Leaf. I know leaves are everywhere, but my needs are specific. Only the ones that sprout from Taloc’s Soil will do.

My worry about Theilo grows each hour. Please help him.

• "I'll find what you need."

Yes, this is it! Theilo should start improving within the hour.

Now I can make enough of this tea to help many other Daevas with the same affliction.

I'll be sure he knows you saved him...after giving him a piece of my mind, of course.

Vesvola is treating Theilo, a colleague, who contracted Aether addiction after entering Taloc.

You brought back Taloc's Young Leaves, the only known cure, from inside Taloc at her request. She thanked you and told you that you likely helped many others suffering from the same affliction.
