Lore & Dialog

Ennio di Cinghalle tells you, "Greetings. Your name is on the list of people Guard Winterborn has given me. It seems you were helpful to him in his investigations. My King has graciously lent my skills to the... Queen, Elysa, for further investigation into this mutual threat."
Ennio di Cinghalle tells you, "Guard Winterborn has been telling me of this 'Harraag' and his apparently massive increase in power over that of his kin. He has also told me of the findings brought by those, such as yourself. These shards, filled with the power of both the Virindi and the Shadows."
Ennio di Cinghalle tells you, "Given what information Guard Winterborn could provide, I was able to locate a Cave, off to the north of the Banderling-creature, where a large gathering of 'Chaos-Virindi' have gathered, and seem to be monitoring the Banderling-creature's present predicament."
Ennio di Cinghalle tells you, "My job for you is simply this: Go to that cave, located at 58.6S, 81.5W and bring me back any information that you find. Do this for me, and you will be well rewarded."

Ennio di Cinghalle tells you, "Go, get this translated, and bring it back to me. I do not have the time to deal with such things."

You give Diyas al-Yat Virindi Message Shard.
Diyas al-Yat tells you, "Fascinating..."
Diyas al-Yat tells you, "It seems this is some sort of continuation of other experiments I've translated shards for. It seems they are trying to create some sort of penultimate creature, or something along those lines."
Diyas al-Yat gives you Observations: Harraag.
