Description
Within the beginning tunnels of Blackfathom Deeps, large sapphire clusters can be found along the cave walls. Recently it was noted that the naga were harvesting the crystals. Until it can be discerned why, I sense we should stop the naga from succeeding. The crystals have great elemental power and if used inappropriately, could make for a powerful arcane component.
Will you help me, your name? Blackfathom Deeps can be found along Zoram Strand to the north of our outpost.
In progress
How goes your search for the crystals, your name? Have you witnessed the naga harvesting them? I pray to my ancestors we find the reason they are collecting such things.
Completion
Well done, your name. These are the crystals I spoke of. Intriguing...
I can feel the power within them. The spirits of water cling to them. Whatever the naga were going to use these for... well, let us be glad they are no longer in their hands.
