Isbariya the Resolute's warning is worrisome.

We must determine if interrupting that ritual was ill-advised. What were the Balaur trying to accomplish with that rite?

If they were just trying to bolster their power, it's a good thing we stopped them. But what if they were trying to stop something terrible that could affect us all?

• "Where do we start?"

That's tricky. It's not going to be easy to find information about some arcane ritual performed by a secretive group of Balaur.

I doubt the Balaur will tell us.

Can I rely on you, Daeva, to help me get to the bottom of this?

• Accept.
• Decline.

Pay a visit to Pilomenes. He's an expert on Balaur culture.

Explain what happened at the Beshmundir Temple, and ask where we might find out more about the ritual.

• "I'll get a move on."

Talk to Pilomenes about the weird ritual and Isbariya the Resolute's warning.

It's stimulating to think I stand in the land of the Balaur.

Is it safe? Is it not? Who knows. All I know is I can smell their sweat from here. Pungent and violent.

What is your business here, friend?

• "I'm looking for information on a ritual."

A fascinating challenge.

I know much, but I've not heard of such a rite.

Now, don't despair, comrade. History has many ways of persisting. There's a good chance we'll be able to find accounts of this ritual in some of the older Balaur myths and legends.

Outremus wants to find out if there are negative consequences to having stopped the Balaur ritual.

Pilomenes, an expert on matters of the Balaur, suggested you look for clues in legends of the Balaur.
