Balance in All Things

The confluence of energies around that vessel is truly disturbing. My skin crawls with the wrongness of it.

We have reached the limit of my ability to help you,.

Go to Ulfar, the High Thornspeaker. Arthur will carry you, if you wish it.

Only he knows enough about these ancient magics to undo the corruption that taints your materials.

Go quickly. You do not want to hold that vessel longer than you must.

You will receive:

• 17,850 XP
• Purified Lumber Sample

I sense a terrible power emanating from that vessel,.

We will take what we have learned here and see what can be done about the rest of Drustvar.

For now, the Drust Vessel will be of use to you and Dorian.

Give her my regards. She is an ally to the Thornspeakers, always.
