Objectives

Find Atrenosh Hailstone and see if she would like to open the cache with you.

• Atrenosh Hailstone Informed ^{[34.6, 57.6]}
• Intact Dragonkin Cache opened ^{[17.3, 16.4]}

Description

Usually, we go to great lengths to avoid busting artifacts open, but I think in this case we'll learn more about the past from what's inside than just staring at a sealed barrel.

That said, there's someone we should get permission from first. It's her history, after all. In fact, I think she's the only person still around who might have a personal stake in this find.

I'll see to getting this up the cliff. Ask if Atrenosh Hailstone wants to watch us crack 'er open, eh?

Rewards

Progress

<Roska looks proud of your hard work.>

Completion

That's what this is all about, eh?

Connecting folks with their pasts, making them feel like they're a part of something. It's easier to know where you're going when you know where you came from.

Notes

Head back to Morqut Village and speak with Atrenosh Hailstone:

 (Quest) <Share your archaeological finds.>

Atrensoh Hailstone says: Ah, well... I guess I could go take a look at it. No one else would know but me.

Scalecommander Viridia says: Would it make it easier if I came with you?

Atrensoh Hailstone says: Hm... yes, I think it would.

Scalecommander Viridia says: Then we'll be on our way shortly. Meet us there, <name>.

Return to Roska's camp on the island:

Atrenosh Hailstone says: To think we used to call this place home, but it's been thousands of years since any of us set foot here...

Roska Rocktooth says: Hey! There's our excavator of the hour.

Roska Rocktooth says: Let's crack this open, make it a proper homecoming!

Scalecommander Viridia says: Is that sound archeological practice?

Roska Rocktooth says: Not usually, but we'll learn more from it opened than closed.

Open it:

Scalecommander Viridia says: It appears to be... honey? Ancient, blue honey?

Atrenosh Hailstone says: Aha! There used to be blue lillies growing all around these cliffs! I wonder if the honey's still good?

Scalecommander Viridia says: Honey has been known to last indefinitely under the right conditions, but I'm not certain...

Roska Rocktooth says: Worst case scenario, I'm sure you can heal an upset stomach!

On complete, Atrenosh tries the honey:

Atrenosh Hailstone says: That's salty!

Viridia laughs.
