A Wyrd and Wonderful World

## Description

Margot has discovered a plant that seems to have strange properties. Gather sprigs of it and present them to people around Windsward to see what their reactions are.

## Objectives

* Obtain 3 Wyrdwood Sprigs
* Give a sprig to Ahura
* Give a sprig to Priya
* Give a sprig to Utkarsh
* Talk to Margot Emerson

## Walkthrough

Go across the bridge and down by the water to collect the sprigs. Head northwest to Golden Fields and speak with Priya Thakur just outside. Travel northeast to Kannan Tomb and talk to Utkarsh Singh. Return to Corinth and talk to Ahura Farid outside the church. Return to Margot outside the west gate.

### Accepting

*Conversation between Margot Emerson and the Sole Survivor*

When was the last time you truly stood in wonder of the world? There is glory in the morning dew. The sun's kiss on our cheeks is more warm and gentle than any lover's lips.

*You seem happy.*

More people around here would be if they glimpsed the glory of Wyrdwood trees. Their beauty is transcendent.

If you find someone who is down, take them a Wyrdwood sapling. They contain the sparkle of starlight in their branches.

*I'll give it a shot.*

They mirror the viewer's intent. If you pause and appreciate them with true wonder, they'll shimmer the lights of heaven back at you.

They will hold your intent and reflect it in response so others may feel that same awe in kind.

### In Progress

*Conversation between Margot Emerson and the Sole Survivor*

Wonder is a clandestine thing. It seldom shows its face to those who are in a hurry.

If you find yourself wandering, don't consider the quest incomplete. Think instead of nature unfurling her beauty to you slowly.

*Conversation between Priya Thakur and the Sole Survivor*

Where has my zeal gone? I used to be thrilled to tend the crops, to share my food with others, but now it feels empty.

Seems like I've seen all there is to see. Done all there is to do.

*I find zeal in wyrdwoods. Have a sprig.*

The light in the stem, it looks like it's dancing. Oh, is it responding to my voice. That's cheeky.

I couldn't take this from you, but you should keep such a wonder safe. Take this.'

*Conversation between Utkarsh Singh and the Sole Survivor*

I've spelunked caverns of the ancients, crossed the sands of Brimstone by foot, and yet the world is still closed to me. I've found no answers. Only more questions.

What is the point of searching anymore? To what end?

*Let nature be your answer, have a wyrdwood sprig.*

What odd flora. It appears to be calling out to me. I... I've forgotten to be present for nature's beauty.

Thank you, kind traveller. Take this as a token of my appreciation. Keep your light shining.

*Conversation between Ahura Farid and the Sole Survivor*

Every day is the same. The same walls over and over. The same woes. There is no splendor.

I want to feel excited by life again, but everything has lost its color.

*There is splendor in the flora. Take this sprig.*

What is this... it's... remarkable. The light in the branches, see how they shimmer. Has the sky always been so gorgeous?

I couldn't tend to such a marvel. But perhaps you could. Here, take this pot. Keep it thriving forever.

### Completion

*Conversation between Margot Emerson and the Sole Survivor*

I see smiles on faces that were once dour because of you. To know that even one person breathes easier because of us is to have succeeded.

I hope you remember that whenever you look on the potter saplings. That is true magic.

*It's being present. Being kind.*

That's exactly right! Gods be damned - to be present for another human being is to share their divinity. To be kind is to perform miracles.
