== Lore & Dialog ==
Hoshino Kei tells you, "Greetings. I have come to Asheron's tower at Queen Elysa's behest to study the nature of the Quiddity Ingots that Aerbax was using to power the Quiddity Seeds. I believe I have determined something about them. If you hand me the Quiddity Ingots extracted from the trophies you found on your quest, I will identify them for you."

BDC Quiddity Ingot
You allow Hoshino Kei to examine your Quiddity Ingot.
Hoshino Kei tells you, "This ingot is attuned to the power of Isparian potential. The being it is most similar to is Queen Elysa. I have heard the story of how a female voice was involved in the quest, though my theory is that it was the voice of the long-dead Olthoi Queen which helped to break the spell."
Hoshino Kei tells you, "It seems that Queen Elysa's fate shall forever be intertwined with the Olthoi. As such, the Olthoi may prove to be a means to purify this ingot. Scouts in the Olthoi North have reported a newly-discovered cavern of Olthoi - there may be a sufficient means of purification there."
Hoshino Kei tells you, "This cavern is not located in a dangerous place. I would advise seeking a vassal, perhaps, who might be willing to perform this task for you."
You allow Hoshino Kei to examine your Purified Quiddity Ingot.
Hoshino Kei tells you, "This ingot is attuned to the power of Isparian potential, but it has been purified already. You need not do anything else with this ingot, except wait for an opportunity for it to be used."

Ithaenc Ingot
You allow Hoshino Kei to examine your Quiddity Ingot.
Hoshino Kei tells you, "This ingot is attuned to the power of Shadow. The being it is most similar to is Bael'zharon. To purify it, one would need access to a power that is similarly dark, but not allied with Shadow. I would suggest inquiring with the Deep - its appetite for destruction is unparalleled, yet it fights Shadow as surely as those who follow the Light."
Hoshino Kei tells you, "Note that the journey to the Deep is dangerous - only the strongest heroes should consider purifying this ingot."
You allow Hoshino Kei to examine your Purified Quiddity Ingot.

Knorr Ingot
You allow Hoshino Kei to examine your Quiddity Ingot.
Hoshino Kei tells you, "This ingot is attuned to the power of Light. The being it is most similar to is Asheron. To purify it, I would seek the font from which Asheron's powers spring forth. If you could find a primal vessel, something deep at the foundation of what we call the Deru Tree perhaps, that should suffice."
Hoshino Kei tells you, "The places where the Deru Trees are located do not tend to be as dangerous as some places on Dereth. I would advise seeking a vassal, perhaps, who might be willing to perform this task for you."
