The Khanam Matra

Report to Khansguard Akato to join Gemisath's audience with the Khanam Matra.

• Speak to Khansguard Akato

I cannot linger in centaur lands; I must return to the gardens as soon as I am able.

The Khanam Matra has agreed to hear our plea for aid. She awaits my arrival at the top of the krutal, the central building of Maruukai.

Though I must speak with her on my own at first, you are more than welcome to join us.

You will receive:

• 4,700 XP
• +100 reputation with Maruuk Centaur

The Khanam Matra is waiting for you.

That traitorous fool.

<Akato spits on the ground.>

On accept, Gemisath heads up the hill and despawns.

Akato waits at the top of the krutal, outside the entrance to Khanam Matra Sarest's chamber. Gemisath, Tigari Khan, Sansok Khan, Okir, and Basran are already inside. Speak to Akato:

• State your business with the Khanam Matra.

A cutscene begins.

• Gemisath, the khans, and the player character stand gathered around the table.

• Balakar summons a storm cloud above the krutal. A single lightning bolt strikes Gemisath, killing her. The player character stares first at her body, then at Balakar, who is brimming with storm magic and looks into the camera as more Nokhud warriors march into the chamber.

On the other side of the cutscene, Sarest, Akato, and the khans have gathered on the platform outside the chamber to look down on Maruukai, which has been engulfed in chaos. Most of the normal NPCs have disappeared; instead, Khansguard Warriors, Shikaar Hunters, Shikaar Huntdogs, and Ohn'ir Windsages are battling Nokhud Betrayers, Reavers, and Storm Adepts. Two exceptions are Qariin Dotur, who is defending herself with a spear, and Healer Selbekh, who is protecting a trembling Taivan. The Shikaar, Ohn'ir, and Nokhud districts are unaffected.
