Erenville: You went there not long ago and culled some unruly fauna, of course, but according to recent reports, other ordinarily docile fauna have grown savage.
Erenville: It's believed that they've been unsettled by some manner of predator, and so the researchers seek assistance with identifying and dispatching it. As part of your hunt, perhaps you might answer the petition?
G'raha Tia: The isle isn't far, and we would also be helping those in need...
Wuk Lamat: That works for me!
Wuk Lamat: Just so you know─I've honed my skills against some of the fiercest beasts in Tural.
Wuk Lamat: Whatever this creature is, it had better be able to put up a proper fight, or it'll end before we have the chance to get acquainted.

Krile: My apologies, but I must see to some preparations. Pray go on ahead to the isle─I will join you as soon as possible.

Wuk Lamat: He went on and on about “technological amusements.” It made me want to come here too one day.
Wuk Lamat: And so I did. I think I understood something of how he felt when I set foot in his beloved Studium.
G'raha Tia: He went to the Studium? Your brother must be quite a scholar.
G'raha Tia: But I wonder... Like you, he'd be royalty, yes? Such a personage coming to Sharlayan to receive an education would surely have caused a stir, yet I recall nothing of the sort...
Wuk Lamat: He consulted with the head of the Studium beforehand, that his identity might remain secret.
Wuk Lamat: Being Miqo'te, he had no trouble blending in. He's adopted like me, you see.
Wuk Lamat: One time, though, he almost let it slip to a professor. It was all he could do to parry the barrage of questions.
G'raha Tia: Having no shortage of questions myself, I can imagine.
Wuk Lamat: Ask whatever you like. I don't mind. But I maintain hunting together is the best way to get to know someone.

Steps

Journal

  • As you deliberate a suitable location for Wuk Lamat's hunt, Erenville mentions a petition for aid from researchers on the Isle of Haam. Some manner of predator has unsettled ordinarily docile animals,causing them to behave savagely, and the task involves identifying and dealing with the creature.Seeing an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone, you all make your way to Scholar's Harbor to secure passage with the exception of Krile, who promises to join you at the isle after she has seen to her preparations.
  • After a brief search, you manage to find Erenville and the visitor, who introduces herself as Wuk Lamat, claimant to the throne of Tuliyollal in the far-western continent of Tural. The gregarious woman wastes no time revealing her business: she wants you to accompany her to her homeland and help her triumph in the impending ritual of succession, a contest to determine the next ruler. As it is a rather abrupt request to make of someone she has only just met, she proposes going on a hunt together, the better to get acquainted.
