Akiekie Ember

Notes

• On ground in the Aun Settlement.
• You need to have completed the Buadren Quest to pick this up the first time.
• Pickup timer: 27 days
• Give to Aun Tanua to obtain the Burning Akiekie Ember (don't move until he gives it to you, his dialog takes a while to complete).

You give Aun Tanua Akiekie Ember.
Aun Tanua gently cups the ember in his clawed hands, and as its glow warms his skin, his past gradually seeps into memory. For the first instant in an endless monotony of time, he remembers. Ezheret. Palenqual. Timaru. Home.
As determination and strength return to the old warrior's stance, he turns to you once more.
Aun Tanua tells you, "I have no knowledge of how long I have been imprisoned here. Endless half moments on moments, my memory failing, my own keh draining away...All I know is that I cannot leave, for the Atua ngamaru have me captured inside these walls of light."
Aun Tanua tells you, "My own Timaru is far from me, but you have brought me an ember of her heart, and once again my people are with me. You must have been sent with this gift by one of my brethren, and for that I thank you."
Aun Tanua tells you, "There is but one way to let my brothers envision my fate, and I must ask one more favor of you."
Aun Tanua lifts the akiekie ember to his face and softly blows across its faintly glowing surface. As his keh suffuses the ember, it suddenly fans into a flame. He holds it a moment longer, then relinquishes it to your care.
Aun Tanua gives you Burning Akiekie Ember.
