I assume you are the man to see about getting the Mon, right?
[zokrace_mon_1]
*ZOKRACE*
Ah, he seeks his destiny, as it was told. Told then was it of my failure?
[zokrace_mon_2]
*CUTTER*
Failure?
[zokrace_mon_3]
*ZOKRACE*
I have not the Mon to deliver to you, Ulukai. It lies safe, but the path to it is blocked to even me at this time.
[zokrace_mon_4]
*CUTTER*
Where it is?
[zokrace_mon_5]
*ZOKRACE*
Inside the Palace Fae with Fae Rhan.
[zokrace_mon_B_1]
*ZOKRACE*
He seeks what he was sent to gather, but does he know how he is hurting talan?
[zokrace_mon_B_2]
*CUTTER*
Just tell me where it is, ok?
[zokrace_mon_B_3]
*ZOKRACE*
The path to the Mon is now blocked to all, even myself. But soon, it will be delivered to you.
[zokrace_mon_B_4]
*CUTTER*
That still doesn't tell me where it is, pal.
[zokrace_mon_B_5]
*ZOKRACE*
Inside the belly of the Palace Fae, under the very eyes of Fae Rhan.
[zokrace_mon_G_1]
*ZOKRACE*
It is good. You seek what you were sent to rejoin in order to save Adelpha. Yods be praised. But my failure to deliver it to you currently blocks your way.
[zokrace_mon_G_2]
*CUTTER*
Why is that?
[zokrace_mon_G_3]
*ZOKRACE*
None may enter where the Mon is resting now. Since your arrival, all traffic has been stopped in and out of its home.
[zokrace_mon_G_4]
*CUTTER*
And that is where?
[zokrace_mon_G_5]
*ZOKRACE*
Inside the Palace Fae at the heart of Okriana. In with Fae Rhan himself.
Yes. During its construction, all homes were constantly being raided by soldiers. We could never find a safe hiding place. Then during one of his sleeps, the Shamaz who was guarding the Mon at that time had a vision.
[zokrace_palace_2]
*CUTTER*
Of?
[zokrace_palace_3]
*ZOKRACE*
Of the Mon resting safely in the very home of the monster we hid it from. I know of where it is hidden and was able to see it was still there last time I was brought into the Palace, but since you have arrived, I have not been allowed inside.
[zokrace_palace_4]
*CUTTER*
Great. So what is the plan now?
;[zokrace_palace_5]
;*ZOKRACE*
;The way to the Palace is not easy and the doors at the entrance are closed. It will take an army to enter it now. You must wait for the doors of the Palace Fae to open, but when that is I can not say?
;[zokrace_palace_6]
;*CUTTER*
;So there is no way I can get inside that place?
;[zokrace_palace_7]
;*ZOKRACE*
;No, Ulukai. I will get word to you if I find a way inside. Until then, may I suggest that you explore Okriana, find a sacred object merchant, or find the other Mons if you have not done so already? Your path here is blocked until Fae Rhan allows me inside or...
;[zokrace_palace_8]
;*CUTTER*
;Or what?
;[zokrace_palace_9]
;*ZOKRACE*
;Or an army breaks open the Palace's doors.
[zokrace_palace_B_1]
*ZOKRACE*
Yes. Hiding the Mon where Fae Rhan would never look was an idea given to the Shamaz who was guarding the Mon at that time during one of his sleeps.
[zokrace_palace_B_2]
*CUTTER*
I dreamt that I dove out of a bomber once with no parachute. You didn't see me try that the next day.
[zokrace_palace_B_3]
*ZOKRACE*
All homes at that time were being constantly raided by the soldiers. Only the construction site of the Palace Fae was left untouched by them. But do not fear, the Mon still awaits your coming.
[zokrace_palace_B_4]
*CUTTER*
But how do I get it now?
;[zokrace_palace_B_5]
;*ZOKRACE*
;You would need an army to get past the doors that lock the Palace up tight now. I can not enter the Palace Fae until Fae Rhan calls for my assistance. Until then, you should explore the city, talk to a sacred object merchant, or find the other Mons if you have not done so.
;[zokrace_palace_B_6]
;*CUTTER*
;So you're saying I can't do anything?
;[zokrace_palace_B_7]
;*ZOKRACE*
;Your path here is blocked, Ulukai. I wish it were not so. But until Fae Rhan calls for me or an army storms the doors, you will have to wait.
[zokrace_palace_G_1]
*ZOKRACE*
It was a great idea, no?
[zokrace_palace_G_2]
*CUTTER*
Can I get inside the Palace?
[zokrace_palace_G_3]
*ZOKRACE*
Right now, it would take an army.
[zokrace_palace_G_4]
*CUTTER*
Then so much for your great idea.
[zokrace_palace_G_5]
*ZOKRACE*
It was an idea given to the Shamaz who was guarding the Mon at the time. The Yods gave it to him in his sleep. Hide the Mon close to the monster and it will never look under its own feet.
[zokrace_palace_G_6]
*CUTTER*
Doesn't do me much good if you hide it someplace I can't get to.
[zokrace_palace_G_7]
*ZOKRACE*
The plan was that I would enter the Palace Fae and return it to you, but Fae Rhan has not allowed anyone inside since you arrived on Adelpha.
[zokrace_palace_G_8]
*CUTTER*
So what is the plan now?
;[zokrace_palace_G_9]
;*ZOKRACE*
;You should stay far away from the Palace, unless you are eager to join the Yods again. I will wait for Fae Rhan to call for my services again. Until this happens or an army comes to break open the doors to the Palace Fae, your path to this Mon is blocked.
;[zokrace_palace_G_10]
;*CUTTER*
;Great. What am I supposed to do now?
;[zokrace_palace_G_11]
;*ZOKRACE*
;I would suggest that you search for the other Mons if you have not already found them, Ulukai. Or, if you rather, explore Okriana. I know many talan here are eager to help you, all except the sacred object merchants, that is.
;Tell me about these sacred object merchants, please?
;[zokrace_merchants_1]
;*ZOKRACE*
;All my efforts to stop them from selling the sacred objects have failed, Ulukai. They even now walk the city, offering to sell sacred objects to those who would have them.
;[zokrace_merchants_2]
;*CUTTER*
;Why are they doing this?
;[zokrace_merchants_3]
;*ZOKRACE*
;These merchants are greedy and many talan want very much to have an object of the Yods in their possession. If you want to find some of these objects, they would be the talan to find.
;[zokrace_merchants_B_1]
;*ZOKRACE*
;I would, but I find it hard to talk more about this while you act the way you do, Ulukai.
There is little to say about him. His evil essence has tainted this region of Talanzaar. Given the ways in which he deals with those who fall from his favor, I wonder why any even trust him to be their leader. He is not a being of compassion.
[zokrace_fae_rhan_B_1]
*ZOKRACE*
Ulukai, you are beginning to walk the path that Fae Rhan walks with your actions towards other talan. I would ask that you take a look around this region of Talanzaar, around the city of Okriana and see what his evil essence has done to all talan.
[zokrace_fae_rhan_G_1]
*ZOKRACE*
I only think of one thing each time I face Fae Rhan. That I wish to still have my essence when you are able to stop his evil essence. All around this region of Talanzaar is tainted with his presence. You can see it in the faces of those who walk this city's streets. They are ready for a new beginning.
Once this region was a vast field of purple grass. All homes were one with the land. No roads were built or large structures. Just a simple life of hunting and farming. Then Fae Rhan came to Talanzaar after the death of Kazar.
[zokrace_talanzaar_2]
*CUTTER*
Why here?
[zokrace_talanzaar_3]
*ZOKRACE*
No talan knows. He saw the land and ordered that a large Palace was to be built here. His soldiers forced all talan to begin work that very moon. As the structure began, he ordered a city to be built around the Palace. As the Palace grew, so did the number of workers building it and the city's size.
[zokrace_talanzaar_4]
*CUTTER*
So this city is what was created?
[zokrace_talanzaar_5]
*ZOKRACE*
No, Ulukai. The original city was 3 times the size that Okriana is this moon. As the Palace neared completion, the Yods began to show their unrest. The water left Talanzaar, never to return again. The land dried up and soon long moons of wind began.
[zokrace_talanzaar_6]
*CUTTER*
Speaking of long wind...
[zokrace_talanzaar_7]
*ZOKRACE*
The land began to ride the wind and over a period of many moons, it buried the old city of Okriana and half of the Palace Fae. Not discouraged by this, Fae Rhan rebuilt the city atop the old and ordered the building of the walls to hold out the Yods should they attempt again to bury his creation further.
Yes, the strange being was being taken to the Palace Fae, but the Guardians were able to help her escape, Yods be praised.
[zokrace_marion_2]
*CUTTER*
Where is she now?
[zokrace_marion_3]
*ZOKRACE*
That is unknown to me, Ulukai. But she was last seen fleeing with a few known Guardians around the area of Zelb's bar. It is in the builders bok to the southwest of the Palace Fae. You must hurry there, Ulukai.
