Description
your name, I put my faith in you and anyone you can muster to help free me. The great Skymane King Mukla is my captor. He commands the beasts of this island, and they keep me here against my will with the aid of this chain. If you can slay him and find the key to this shackle, I shall be indebted to you greatly.
I often hear him to the southeast side of the island, but please be careful: he is not to be trifled with.
In progress
I thank my ancestors someone has come to aid me. Do you have the key that will free me?
Completion
your name, you have saved me from a great dishonor. If it was within my power, I would offer you a place among my tribe. But for now, all I can only offer you is this token for the courage and nobility you have shown.
