Dialog

Accepting the Quest

T'laqa Tia: Oh, hello again!

T'laqa Tia: Did you notice the fish tank, by the way? I went ahead and put one of my research specimens in it. Quite the looker, wouldn't you say?

T'laqa Tia: I tell you, so many things, have fallen into place ever since you showed up. I'm having the time of my life analyzing all this data!

T'laqa Tia: I mean to continue analysis of aetherlice, of course, but I will task another gleaner with such mundane tasks.

T'laqa Tia: Instead, I'd like to make full use of your skills by having you visit an area I've long been fascinated with.

T'laqa Tia: I speak of the oceans surrounding Thavnair!

T'laqa Tia: I have reason to believe there was a significant change in the aether currents in those waters that occurred around the time of the Calamity. Professor Nele shared with me some data from twenty years prior, and I would compare it with current data to ascertain if I am correct.

T'laqa Tia: The waters around Thavnair, you see, have long been one of the focal points of Professor Nele's research.

T'laqa Tia: I wish to study them more to honor his work, whilst also using it as a starting point for my own.

T'laqa Tia: Before you go, however, a word of warning: ever since the Calamity, the region is notorious for shipwrecks. I realize that you are a seasoned professional, but I fully understand if you do not want to take on the risk.

Player: Hero: Consider it done!

Player: I almost didn't return from my voyage on the Sirensong Sea...

T'laqa Tia: Oh, thank you! I knew I could count on you.

T'laqa Tia: Anyhow, I'd like you to fish the same species that Prefessor Nele studied twenty years ago: to wit, the garjana wrasse.

T'laqa Tia: According to the books the pressor gave me, they live near the Great Runoff, and are known to enjoy nibbling on shrimp balls. And that should do it! Be safe out there, yes?

During the Quest

T'laqa Tia: Have you managed to reel in any wrasse? According to my references, they live in relative abundance near the Great Runoff and favor the taste of shrimp balls.

T'laqa Tia: Speaking of which, how do you plan to travel to Thavnair? I suspect teleportation magicks would be the most convenient way--if, sadly, not one available to me. In either event, do take care!
