I don't suppose you've seen some colourful woollen socks on your travels? They're bright red, very vivid and colourful--you couldn't miss them.

• "Can't say that I have, sorry."

Ah, that's a shame. Portzebnerk's Socks are a big part of the Solorius tradition! Who doesn't remember tipping all their presents out of the socks and running around the house while wearing it as a hat? Or...um...that might just have been me.

Anyway, the point is, Solorius is going to be ruined if some kind Daeva doesn't decide to help us out!

• Accept.
• Decline.

Oh! I can't tell you how relieved I am! Maybe Solorius can be saved after all!

Those Idle Shugo Couriers were supposed to put gifts into the socks. I don't know what they're playing at. Did they fall asleep on the job? Are they running around Poeta wearing the socks on their heads? Did they discover an alarming sock shortage in the villages of Eltnen and rush off on a shugoitarian mission?

Well, I'll wait here for you to come back with Portzebnerk's Socks.

• "Solorius socks, coming up!"

Find Portzebnerk's Socks and bring them to Sonaran.

Oh, good, it's you! I've been waiting for those socks.

What have you got for me?

• "Here they are!"

...no, these aren't Portzebnerk's Socks. I don't know whose they are, but from the smell of them, they've been worn to traipse around the Putrid Mire or something.

You have to track down the Idle Shugo Couriers to find them. They're supposed to be helping with the Solorius preparations, but they're slacking off instead.

• "Oops! Meant to put these in the laundry."

Ooooh, look at that! You really got them! Now let me...oh. That isn't right.

There was really nothing in here when you found them? No gifts or anything? No, no, I'm not accusing you of anything, I just wanted to make sure.

Huh. Well, at least we have the socks themselves back. I suppose.

Sonaran, worried about the plans for the Solorius festival, asked you to find Idle Shugo Couriers and retrieve Portzebnerk's Socks from them.

Despite that the socks did not have gifts in them, as anticipated, Sonaran rewarded you.
