I know the Dragonbound are supposed to be servants of the Balaur, but I never trust hearsay without confirming for myself.

I thought of a pretty clever way to find out....

The items they carry!

• "I don't understand."

Well, if the Dragonbound are anything like the Balaur, they'll have symbols engraved onto their items. Subversive forces can't hide their nature.

These symbols will tell me for sure what they really believe.

Now that you've had some experience with them, would you go deeper into the temple and retrieve some of their items for me? Anything that has a symbol on it will do.

• Accept.
• Decline.

Actually, I’ve been studying the Lepharists. Groups that value organisational skills tend to engrave more symbols on their items.

Kill Apostate Warmonger and Apostate Conjurer and bring me 10 of each of their possessions.

I hope to prove their existence with this investigation.

• "I can handle that."

Barus said he wanted to research the items of the Dragonbound and asked you to collect some for him.

How did the slaying of Apostate Warmongers and Apostate Conjurers go?

Did they have any items on them? Armour? Weapons? Artwork? Anything with emblems or symbols?

• "Here's plenty for you."

You must not have travelled deep enough into Undirborg...or maybe you didn't even go at all.

Daeva, I really need your help on this one.

Please loot whatever the Apostate Warmongers and Apostate Conjurers have on them.

• "I'll handle it, Barus."

That's peculiar.... This symbol I recognise...it's a Balaur mark for death or murder.

But this symbol here...it's unlike anything I've ever seen. It resembles their symbol for the afterlife, but there's more to it.

Well, it looks like I have plenty of work to keep me busy now. Thank you, Daeva.

Barus wanted to confirm for himself the beliefs of the Dragonbound. Thus, he asked you to loot items carried by Apostate Warmongers and Apostate Conjurers.

Barus found unusual symbols on the items you brought him. He wasn't sure what it was but knew it was something special. He thanked you and asked you to keep helping him with his research.
