Yes, yes! Just as the Namiag Scriptures said! The ceremonies took place in the Room of Wanderlust, and...

Oh, pardon me! I didn't see you there. I'm afraid I get a little carried away.

But this is such a fascinating place! I found Marayas, you know. I was in the Temple of Knowledge looking for Porphyas's Grimoire, and Dolf told me...

• (You listen for a while.)

...in the fifth canto, the word "Marayas"! Of course, I grabbed the Compass of Reckoning and rushed right here.

It took some doing, naturally, especially with the mistranslations in the Binjemi Atlas.

But here I am! And the things I've discovered! Those who lived here told a story about Aion that...

• "Is this what you need?"

Hmm, no, I'm afraid not.

See the picture in this book? This is what a Marayas Relic may look like.

But it may be totally different, of course. In fact, Wamus theorized in his great work "Ruins of the Cataclysm" that such objects could...

• "You aren't listening, are you?"

Oh, yes, yes! See these etchings? They symbolize the Balaur Lords. And these are...

Wait... they're.... Oh, my word! This changes everything! How exciting! How....

Oh, right, your reward. Here, please take this! Now, the golden leashes obviously mean that...

From what you could tell between his ramblings, Farbin wants to excavate the Lost City of Marayas and unlock its secrets.

You found the relics he was looking for, and he actually paid a little attention as he rewarded you.
