Journal

  • The astute Vath gazes out upon the Smoldering Wastes.
  • The astute Vath has heard the voice of a lost Gnath. He asks you to find the owner of this voice. Start your search to the south of Anyx Trine.
  • You have found a wandering Gnath, confused and disoriented. He seems distressed by the wyverns circling nearby. Slaying one of the beasts might help put his mind at ease.
  • With the nearest wyvern dealt with, the wandering Gnath should have calmed down enough that you can hold a conversation with him.
  • The wandering Gnath does not know where to go or what to do. You explain about Loth ast Vath and tell him to go there and meet with the other Gnath that lost the link to the Onemind. Rendezvous with him at Loth ast Vath and check on his integration into the Nonmind.
  • The wandering Gnath is nowhere to be seen. You check with the astute Vath and discover that the wandering Gnath never made it to the Vath hive. The astute Vath seems to have a hunch, and suggests you search near Loth ast Gnath for the missing Gnath.
  • You find the wandering Gnath traveling toward his old hive, single-mindedly intent on returning and resuming his work. Despite your best efforts, you are unable to dissuade the drone. Return to the astute Vath and explain the situation.
  • You break the bad news to the astute Vath. He tells you that, as he had suspected, the Gnath's mental link to the Overmind had been reestablished. The poor creature is once again a drone of the Onemind. The astute Vath seems to harbor a gnawing fear that the same could one day happen to him, stripping him of all individuality and rendering him another mindless slave of the Overmind.

Dialogue

Accepting the Quest

Astute Vath: We have a new brother. He is lost. We hear his voice. <click> <click> He is lost near Anyx Trine. <click> <click> South of Anyx Trine. Please find him. Please help him. Please guide him to Loth ast Vath.
(Optional)
Astute Vath: Our lost brother is near Anyx Trine. Please find him. Please guide him to Lost ast Vath.

Finding the lost Gnath southwest of Anyx Trine

Wandering Gnath: Where are we? <click> <click> There are wyverns. Wyverns everywhere. We are scared. This place is scary. We wish for a safe place.

Speaking with the wandering Gnath

Wandering Gnath: The wyvern is dead. We feel much safer. But where should we go? We do not know what to do. <click> <click>
Wandering Gnath: Loth ast Vath? We will go there. We will join our brothers. Thank you. <click> <click>

Speaking with the astute Vath at Loth ast Vath

Astute Vath: Our new brother? We have not seen him. He has not come here yet. We have a bad feeling about this. <click> <click> Please check for him near Loth ast Gnath.

Speaking with the wandering Gnath at Loth ast Gnath

Wandering Gnath: There is work to be done. I must return home. I must return to the hive. <click> <click>

Reporting to the astute Vath

Astute Vath: He returns to the hive? He must have heard it again. The hive's voice. It is most regrettable.
Astute Vath: We sometimes hear voices from the hive. If the voice is strong enough, would we, too, become of the Onemind again? Would we lost our individuality? <click> <click> It is a worrying thought...
