Journal

• U'odh Nunh explains that his tribe does not offer aid to strangers. Before he will even consider entertaining your request, you must prove yourself a competent hunter by slaying seven sundrakes and collecting their blood.

• You now possess the blood of seven ferocious sundrakes. Return to Forgotten Springs and present the blood to U'odh Nunh.

• Although U'odh Nunh now recognizes you as a passable hunter, he still refuses to tell you of the ingredient. This may take a while...

Dialogue

U'odh Nunh

Perrrsistent bugger. Very well, let's have a look at you.

...You've seen your share of battle, there's no mistaking that. And you did manage to obtain that adamantoise egg. However, that was naught more than a display of brrrute force and blind courage.

The nunh I once fought also believed that his strrrength would save him. He was wrong, and now I am nunh.

Many years ago, I joined the Company of Heroes to hone my skills, instead of challenging my predecessor before I was ready. Even when I was young, I understood that victorrry goes to the patient, the cunning, the pragmatic.

That is why I claimed my position, and it is why I still hold it. And it is why I will not help an unprrroven whelp.

The Children of the Sands do not offer aid to strangers. To do so is a sign of weakness. However, if you were rrrecognized as a skilled hunter in your own right, it would be permissible to assist you.

A child who wishes to become a hunterrr must collect the blood of seven sundrakes. You are not a child, so you may find this to be easy. But you are not of the U tribe, so perhaps not.

I will consider your rrrequest once you have brought me the blood, and not a moment sooner.

I will not help an unproven whelp. Brrring me the blood, or we have nothing to discuss.

You are a hunterrr of beasts. This much I now know to be true.

But Titan is no mere beast. If you mean to hunt a god, you must prove much more to me.
