Hien 	...I know what you're thinking. And yes, I could probably have convinced him to let us go had I handled that differently. But then we would have learned naught for our troubles.
Hien 	If there is one thing I know, it is that men of faith yearn to share it with others. And in learning more of their beliefs, we may learn more of other things─things which may prove useful in the Naadam.
Hien 	When I was carrying out my tasks, I met an elder─a storyteller─named Udutai. Mayhap he can be our teacher.
 	
Hien 	This is the man of whom I spoke, Udutai.
 	
Udutai 	Hm? I can spare no time for you. Other troubles demand my attention.
Hien 	What troubles? What ill fortune has befallen you?
Udutai 	Not me, but my lambs. Some few wandered far and have yet to return.
Udutai 	Mayhap they will return to their mothers in time. Mayhap they will not. Mayhap you can help?
Hien 	If we must, then we must. Let us be about it, [Player Name].
 	
Hien 	Where are you, little ones? Your mother is waiting! It is time to come home!
 	
Udutai 	They cannot have gone below. They must be here somewhere...
 	
Hien 	Greetings. I trust all of our little explorers are safely accounted for?
Udutai 	That they are. My thanks to you, Doman. Now─you had questions for me?
Hien 	Aye. I would know more of the Oronir─of their creation, and of Father Azim.
Udutai 	As you wish. Come, let us sit.
Udutai 	Before we begin, tell me: what do you know of the Au Ra, and how they came to be?
 	
Udutai 	Yes, yes. A common tale, and one believed by many tribes.
Udutai 	But what it does not mention is this: Azim and Nhaama were lovers.
Udutai 	Oh, they fought in the beginning, as did their creations. That much is true. But when they saw how the Xaela and the Raen rose above their hatreds and joined hands in harmony, their hearts stirred, and the love their children shared became theirs as well.
Udutai 	Alas, he was of the sun and she of the moon. Apart they must remain, lest day and night cease to be, and with them all creation.
Udutai 	With sadness in their hearts they returned to the heavens─he to the day, she to the night, destined to walk before and after, never to meet.
Udutai 	As time passed, Azim's yearning for his beloved grew deeper still. Was there truly naught that could be done, he wondered. At last, he knew.
Udutai 	"If the Father cannot be with the Mother, then he shall go amongst her children. Now and ever after.“
Udutai 	So it was that Azim took a fragment of his being and with it fashioned an avatar. Clad in scale of midnight, he descended, and sought out the Xaela.
Udutai 	Yea, he was the first Oronir. We are of his flesh and his blood. We are the children of Azim, and it is our duty to watch over and keep the Xaela safe.
Hien 	...I confess, I did not expect the tale of your people's beginnings to be quite so romantic.
Hien 	Yet I must ask: if it is your duty to defend the Xaela, how can you go to war with them in the Naadam? Is that not a contradiction?
Udutai 	If a father disciplines his son, does that mean there is no love in his heart? Xaela are not wont to kneel. They must be made to─only then will they heed reason.
Hien 	I see... Such is the way of the Steppe.
Hien 	Thank you, elder, for sharing with us your wisdom.
Udutai 	Eager to depart? Ere you go, you would do well to hear the end of my tale.
Udutai 	When Nhaama looked down and saw the avatar of Azim, she knew him at once, and shed tears of love and longing.
Udutai 	When they struck the earth, they rose anew, as a counterpart to the Oronir. Their fates entwined.
Udutai 	So you see, for every son of Azim is a daughter of Nhaama for whom he must search. Even now.
 	
Udutai 	Come again, traveler. There are tales to be told, songs to be sung.
 	
Hien 	Mayhap I am being overly optimistic, but I sense that these Oronir may prove loyal allies to Doma under the right circumstances.
Hien 	Their arrogance is rooted in the belief that they must act as caretakers of all Xaela. Therefore, if we can prove to them that we come as kindred spirits, seeking to defeat a common foe...
Hien 	But mayhap this is a discussion for after we win the Naadam. Come, let us return to Magnai.
 	
Lyse 	You're back. They had me milking sheep, by the way. It was, um, interesting...
 	
Hien 	Another “task” completed, eh? I wonder what the most radiant brother has in store for us next.
 	
Gosetsu 	At a glance, their arms and armor may seem crude compared to those of Doma, but they are well crafted, and no less effective.
 	
Magnai 	Hmm...you shine with the light of newfound wisdom. Could it be that you have at last accepted the supremacy of the Sun?
Magnai 	No matter. You have each completed your tasks, and proven yourselves deserving of mercy.
Magnai 	However, if it is freedom you desire, then there is one more thing you must do...
Quest complete.	Quest complete.
