Scar of Earth and Fire

==Objectives==
Investigate the scene.
*Speak with Khasar 
*Inspect pile of ashes
*Inspect broken spear
*Speak with Sabellian 
==Description==
This centaur practically attacked us upon our arrival. He seems quite protective over this burning pile of ashes.
I know you have worked alongside the Shikaar before. Would you speak to him? I would like to confirm what happened here.
There is no chance that this is all a coincidence. If it connects to the Incarnates at all, we must learn all we can.
==Rewards==
You will receive:
* 10x Flightstones
* 
* 9,500 XP
* +200 reputation with Maruuk Centaur
==Progress==
Have you learned anything of value?
==Completion==
I begin to see why Fyrakk was sealed away...
Your assistance, as always, has been invaluable.
==Notes==
On accept:
:
:
:Khasar lowers his spear and walks back to the ash pile. With a whistle, the bakar return to Khasar's side and Wrathion lowers his hands.
:
Speak with Khasar:
:These two descended upon me without warning while I tended to my fallen comrade.
:If they are with you, then I am willing to lower my guard.
:
:There was a great calamity last night. I know not the cause of it, but the earth quaked like we have never felt before.
:All of us at Timberstep were accounted for except for a single guard, Shalkeel. We sent search parties into the Mirewood, but found no trace of him. Not until this morning when I came to this cliffside...
:This is all that's left. A pile of ashes. 
:I was only able to identify him by engraving on his spear. I attempted to move the ashes, but they won't stop burning. I've never seen anything like it before.
:Our only option is to bury him here at the site of his death. I asked Roscha to aid me in the burial, but there are too many repairs to make in the village.
:Would you help me instead, <name>?
:
:Primalists. Many of them. A horde trampled their way through the canyon below and into that hole in the earth.
:The look on your face tells me you'll be following their trail. I can only warn you to be wary and to be prepared.
Interact with the Remains of a Fallen Shikaar:
:<The pile of ash wafts pungent scents of sulfur and death up to your nostrils. Its flames refuse to subside.
:The only solace for the poor soul this ash used to be is that the overwhelming ferocity of their attacker ensured a quick death.>
:
And the Spear of a Fallen Shikaar:
:<A Shikaar spear that's been thoroughly singed. Its wielder must have dropped it before being fully engulfed in flame.
:The only identifiable marks are the artisan-tier etchings of the centaur language upon the shaft.>
:
Sabellian is still kneeling, focused on the gaping hole in the chasm:
:Ebyssian dawdles while the Incarnates breathe destruction on our land. I tire of waiting for him to arrive.
:
:The tunnel beneath us was recently bored. So recently, in fact, that I can still feel the heat coming off it from here.
:There are also impressions of ice and earth on the edge of the cliffside. It is as if the ground itself has been manipulated and turned into pure element.
:There is no doubt. This is the work of the Incarnates.
On complete:

Sabellian starts the next campaign quest, The Patience of Princes, but Khasar offers an optional follow-up: Rest Well, Warrior.
