Journal
- Ghun Gun is finally ready to obey his father's orders to take a well-earned rest.
- Ghun Gun's idea of a rest appears to involve listening intently to Jamial propose an expedition in search of buried treasure. The aged historian believes that a trail of discarded relics left behind when the Nabaath fled the Flood of Light is waiting to be discovered, and asks you and Ghun Gun to help him with its excavation. Satisfied that standing still for a few moments constitutes rest and recuperation, your Mord companion springs into action, practically salivating at the chance to go digging for more priceless artifacts.
- Jamial leads you to a stretch of desert near the Inn at Journey's Head, where Ghun Gun immediately throws himself into the search for buried relics. While you set about the task at hand, Jamial, far too old for such demanding physical exertion, watches on.
- Your search reveals a large shield of some description, although it is hard to see what lies below layer upon layer of grime. Ghun Gun, however, is accustomed to removing this sort of caked-on dirt with little more than his hands, so you take it to him to have it cleaned for inspection.
- The artifact you have unearthed is a heraldic shield which, according to Jamial, represents the great houses of Nabaath Areng. He also explains that the Mord were an intrinsic part of the nation's rise to greatness, much to the surprise of Ghun Gun. Jamial then sets his sights on the next location, between an enormous section of ruined wall and a decidedly precarious precipice.
- Upon arrival, Jamial directs you and Ghun Gun to a large pile of debris that seems to have crumbled away from the nearby ruins. Once again, you set to work, hoping to find remnants of the Nabaath's past.
- Your search bears fruit, although exactly what kind of fruit, you cannot be sure. You wisely choose to leave the delicate task of brushing away the encrusted soil to Ghun Gun, who is still busy sifting through the rubble.
- Ghun Gun takes great delight in explaining that the relic is in fact an example of traditional Mord craftsmanship, though the small statue seems to be little more than a round ball of clay with holes bored into it. Jamial posits that it once took pride of place in the Pristine Palace of Amh Malik as a symbol of the friendship between the Nabaath and the Mord. Although there is still one more site that he would like to investigate, Jamial takes this opportunity to offer his gratitude for your sterling work thus far.
Dialogue
(Optional) Jamial: Perhaps this would be a good opportunity...
Accepting the Quest
Ghun Gun: Now that business with the ring is over, I should rest, as I said I would. Then your promise to my father will be fulfilled!
Jamial: Actually, there is something I should like to discuss with you. I am in no rush, however, so let us speak again after your repose.
Ghun Gun: Ah! My curiosity! It is piqued! Please, you must tell me now! I can rest while I listen.
Jamial: Oh... Well, if you insist. Jamial: I would like you to help me search for more relics from Nabaath Areng. If my suppositions are correct, I know where many such artifacts are waiting to be uncovered. Jamial: I base this claim on my knowledge of the route chosen by the malik when he led his people's exodus from the Flood of Light. Jamial: Although many tried to take their most prized possessions with them, it soon became apparent that such burdens would only hinder their escape. Each household discarded their personal treasures, one piece at a time. Jamial: By following the exact path traveled from Nabaath Areng, we would be able to unearth many more priceless treasures. What say you? Will you lend me your aid?
Ghun Gun: Of course! And now that I have finished resting, I am ready to start digging!
Jamial: You are quite sure?
Ghun Gun: I am! [Forename], you should come too! You have already found one of these shinies. Maybe you can find some more!
Jamial: You will be amply remunerated for your efforts even if there are no profits to be made from the sale of the items themselves. I too am a proponent of the motto “Honest pay for honest work.”
Ghun Gun: We should go before my father tries to stop me! Honestly, there is no such thing as working too hard! Oh, wait... Where are we going?
Jamial: The first location is to the east of the Inn at Journey's Head. Allow me to lead the way!
(Optional) Ghun Gun: It does not smell of treasure here. Maybe I am not sniffing hard enough?
Speaking with Jamial
Jamial: As I recall, there should be a few artifacts scattered around this area. Jamial: The first items to be discarded were those of little value or simply too cumbersome to be carried over long distances. However, we can assume that many were buried so that they could be recovered later. Jamial: Therefore, it seems logical that landmarks such as large outcrops and so forth would be used to indicate their position.
Ghun Gun: Less talking, more digging! I want to find the shinies!
Optional
Jamial: As much as I would like to assist in the search, I am afraid that these old bones of mine make bending and kneeling quite a struggle.
Ghun Gun: It does not smell of treasure here. Maybe I am not sniffing hard enough?
Jamial: Have you found something? Perhaps you could get Ghun Gun to clean off some of the dirt. Mord hands are perfectly suited to that sort of delicate work.
Delivering the dirt—encrusted shield to Ghun Gun
Ghun Gun: Mmm... Lots of lovely shinies over here! What have you got? <Hand Over Dirt–encrusted shield> Ghun Gun: Oh, a great big shiny! Is this...a dinner plate? Ghun Gun: Jamial, what is this?
Jamial: A heraldic shield. The five coins above a castle represent each of the great houses of Nabaath Areng.
Ghun Gun: Coins? Is that because they were rich?
Jamial: Precisely. The capital attracted trade from across Norvrandt, and much of the wealth found its way into their coffers. Jamial: Such a booming economy was not built overnight, however. Although Nabaath Areng was largely established by Humes, the harsh desert environment meant that they had to rely on the aid of neighboring peoples. Jamial: It was the Mord who taught them how to safely traverse the barren plains, methods for finding sustenance, and much besides. They were also respected partners in matters of commerce. The Nabaath owed a great deal to your ancestors, Ghun Gun.
Ghun Gun: I...never knew.
Jamial: History is all around us, if we know where to look. Which reminds me, the next location I would like to search is not far from here. This way, if you please.
(Optional) Ghun Gun: Do you think there will be more shinies?
Speaking with Jamial
Jamial: I have reason to believe that more artifacts are resting beneath these ruins. Please take the utmost care with any that you discover, as some may be fragile.
Optional
Jamial: Should you find any remnants of the past, I would be very glad to see them, no matter how inconsequential they may seem.
Jamial: Excellent work! Once Ghun Gun has cleaned off the excess grime, we can verify whether this relic has any historical importance.
Delivering the sand—caked statue to Ghun Gun
Ghun Gun: Nothing but bricks and sand. Have you had better luck? <Hand Over Sand–caked Statue> Ghun Gun: I know what this is! A decorative Mord's head sculpture! Making these is one of our many traditions! Ghun Gun: But what is it doing here?
Jamial: We may surmise that it was once kept in the Pristine Palace of Amh Malik. It once housed tokens of friendship from allied peoples. That the malik brought such gifts so far from Nabaath Areng is proof of their cultural significance. Jamial: However, when the Nabaath and the Mord first came into contact, there were many disagreements.
Ghun Gun: Hmm? I do not understand. We Mord hate arguing! The art of negotiation is another one of our many traditions!
Jamial: Yes, I daresay that was a decisive factor in these disparate peoples finding common ground. And yet the Mord live on while the Nabaath are no more. Jamial: Hopefully, we will uncover yet more valuable insights to the past at our final excavation site. And may I say, your work thus far has been nothing short of exemplary.
Ghun Gun: Please, save your thanks for when we have finished! Ghun Gun: There is much still to be done, more treasures to be found!

クエスト詳細
名前： ナバスアレンの遺物
概要： モルド・スークのグーングンは、約束どおり休憩するつもりのようだ。
クエスト受注
(任意) ジャミアル
あの印章が見つかったとなれば、
これは良い機会かもしれぬな······。
グーングン
さてさて、結果はともかく鑑定も済んだし、
君とのもうひとつの約束、果たさないといけないネ！
伝言どおり、休憩するヨ！
ジャミアルグーングンすまんが、その休憩とやらが終わったあとにでも、
ワシの話を聞いてくれんか？
頼みたいことがあるんじゃ。
グーングン
頼みたいことネ？
それなら、いま話してほしいヨ。
話を聞きながら、休憩をとっちゃうネ！
ジャミアル
む、よいのか？
では、お言葉に甘えて······。
ジャミアル
お主らに頼みたいのは、ほかでもない。
印章と同じ、ナバスアレンの王族にまつわる遺物を、
ワシと共に探し出してほしいのじゃ。
ジャミアル
「光の氾濫」による王都崩壊の直前のこと、
ナバスアレン最後の王は、幼い王子と民を連れ、避難を指揮した。
ジャミアル
家臣たちは、宮殿より数多の財宝を持ち出したが、
王は、足を早めるため、身を軽くするよう命じたという。
こうして価値の低いものから、宝が次々と捨てられたそうじゃ。
ジャミアル
それらの宝は、いまだ見つかっていなかったのじゃが······
印章が発見された場所から逆算すれば、範囲を絞り込める。
どうじゃ、ワシと一緒に「拾い」にいかんか？
グーングン
もちろんネ！
たったいま、休憩は完了したヨ！
身も心も、すっかり元気になっちゃったネ！
ジャミアル
おお、受けてくれるか！
グーングン
君にも、ぜひ来てほしいネ！
印章の発見者として、宝の分け前を受け取る権利があるヨ！
ジャミアル
仮に、発見された宝の価値が低くとも、
労働に見合う対価は、ワシが約束しよう······。
どうじゃ、お主も依頼を受けてくれんか？
グーングン
よし、それじゃオヤジ殿に止められる前に······
じゃなくて、早く仕事を終わらせるため、出発するネ！
······で、どこに向かえばいいヨ？
ジャミアル
最初の目的地は「旅立ちの宿」の東じゃ。
さあ、宝探しの始まりじゃぞ！
ジャミアルと話す
(任意) グーングン
このあたりに宝が眠っているネ？
ジャミアル
よく来てくれたのう。
ワシの記憶では、このあたりに宝が捨てられているはず。
ジャミアル
価値の低いものから放棄されたとはいっても、
後々に回収することを考え、それなりの隠蔽はしたはずじゃ。
地面に埋める程度のことは······な。
ジャミアル
その際、王家に伝わる印章の文様がヒントとなるよう、
目立つ岩場を軸に、隠す場所が決められたとも聞く。
それらを踏まえた結果が、このあたりなのじゃよ。
グーングン
それじゃあ、さっそく掘りまくるネ！
君も手伝ってほしいヨ！
指定地点を調べる
(任意) ジャミアル
ワシも手伝いたいところじゃが、
この老骨が下手に手を出しても、邪魔なだけじゃろう。
すまねが、よろしく頼むぞ。
(任意) グーングン
このあたりに宝が眠っているネ？
グーングンに古ぼけた装飾盾を渡す
(任意) ジャミアル
むむ、何か見つけたかの？
ではまず、グーングンに渡してやってくれ。
グーングン
こっちは、装飾品をいくつか見つけたヨ。
そっちは何か見つけたネ？
<古ぼけた装飾盾を渡す>
グーングン
おお！
これはぐそいネ！
グーングン
······マミアル殿、
これはいったいどういうものかわかるかネ？
ジャミアル
ふむ、ナバスアレンの紋章を記した装飾盾のようじゃな。
その「城の上に５つのコイン」という図案は、
王国に属す５種族と富を示すという。
グーングン
へえ～、ナバスアレンってのは、
とってもお金持ちだったんだネ。
ジャミアル
そうじゃなあ、ナバスアレンは、
ノルヴラントの富が集まる交易都市じゃったからのう。
ジャミアル
知っておるか？
ナバスアレンは、ヒュム族が興した国じゃったが、
領地の大半が荒野とあって、当初は貧しかったことを······。
ジャミアル
じゃが、モルド族から過酷な荒野を渡る術を教えられたことで、
独自の交易路を築くことに成功し、一躍、発展を遂げたのじゃ。
つまり、王国にとってモルド族は恩人なんじゃよ。
グーングン
······そうだったんだネ。
僕、そんな歴史、しらなかったヨ。
ジャミアル
さて、そろそろ移動するかの。
次の埋蔵候補地はここから南へいったところじゃ。
ジャミアルと話す
(任意) グーングン
さてさて、次のお宝は何だろネ～。
張り切ってお仕事するヨ～！
ジャミアル
では、次じゃ。
そこに見える瓦礫の下に、遺物が埋まっているはず。
うまく掘り出してくれい！
指定地点を調べる
(任意) ジャミアル
そこに見える瓦礫の下に、遺物が埋まっているはずじゃ。
うまく掘り出してくれい！
(任意) グーングン
さてさて、次のお宝は何だろネ～。
張り切ってお仕事するヨ～！
グーングンに壊れたモルド族の石像を渡す
(任意) ジャミアル
おお、また何か見つけたか。
先ほどと同じく、グーングンに渡してくれるかの。
グーングン
うーん、こっちは石の破片しか見つからないネ。
そちらは何か見つかったネ？
<壊れたモルド族の石像を渡す>
グーングン
これは······モルド族石像、ネ？
でも、かんりボロボロだヨ······。
グーングン
ジャミアル殿、またまた鑑定してほしいネ！
ジャミアル
おそらく、アム・マリク新宮殿に飾られてた彫像なろう。
ナバスアレンでは、有効を示すために、
モルド族の石像がそこら中にあったからのう。
ジャミアル
じゃが······これは知っておるか？
これほど緊密な王国とモルド族も、
当初は争いが絶えんかったんじゃよ。
グーングン
それは本当ネ？
いまからじゃ、とても考えられないヨ！
ジャミアル
長い年月をかけ、両者は歩み寄り、
友好関係を築いていったんじゃよ。
いまの状況は、その延長線上にあるわけじゃな。
ジャミアル
さて、ワシの知るナバスアレンの埋蔵候補地はあとひとつ。
ここまでつきあってくれて、感謝するぞ。
グーングン
感謝するにはまだ早いヨ！
最後の場所から、お宝を回収してからお祝いするネ！
グーングン
とはいえ、終わりが見えてきたのも事実ネ。
最後のひとつもきっちり「拾って」、
お仕事を完了させちゃおうネ！
