To Live or Die

Kill the incarnation of [114103|Dimarka] to get the [206448|Dyed Flame Stone] and give it to the [114135|Hermit].

The agreement with the elemental power made me gradually forget myself. I feel deep regret for the sins that I committed towards you.

So many years have passed... At that time an unknown future forced me to make a decision. I didn't think that it would finally become useful today.

Now, please listen to me patiently. I hid the [206389|Stone of Nature] in a secret place. In order to keep the [206389|Stone of Nature] from falling into the hands of the Naga, I set up a barrier and placed two items obtained from the [206389|Stone of Nature] - a [206448|Dyed Flame Stone] and a [206449|Soul Lock] - separately with myself and my wife and had my wife pledge to have later generations guard this item forever. Hali is my name, perhaps you can use this as a clue for finding them.

I...can't stay conscious for too long. The elementals that were given to me rage within my body, it isn't long before I become a complete monster. Before I am completely lost, I want you to kill me and get the item embedded within my body. Take this to the wise [114101|Hermit].

([114103|Dimarka] salutes [114135|Hermit] then looks towards you.)

He'll surely lead you to find the [206389|Stone of Nature].

The blood-covered [206448|Dyed Flame Stone] is proof of [114103|Dimarka's] conviction and is also one of the clues to help you find the [206389|Stone of Nature].

But I cannot go with you. I must stay here and tend to the follow-up problems with this barrier. Unstable elementals will cause further disasters.

And you must continue on the journey to find the [206389|Stone of Nature]. Go together with [114168|Artaher] to find [114103|Dimarka's] descendants. Helping each other and following the laws of nature will help you find the [206389|Stone of Nature] more quickly.

[114103|Dimarka's] final request...

Perhaps respecting another's will is a lot harder than you thought.
