Description
This cinder pollen doesn't evoke interesting change. It consumes all until nothing, but ash remains. It brings... uniformity.
And I find that to be tragically stale.
I'm all for change, no matter the origin. But if THIS change stymies all future possibilities for further change, then it must be stopped.
If creatures of the dream have been infected by this pollen, then they must be extinguished. This is not a flame that can be allowed to grow.
Rewards
You will receive:
- 28 9
- 5x [Emerald Dewdrop]
- 10x [Flightstones]
Progress
Bringing about change to the dream through fire is a fascinating concept - life and fire can coexist!
<Q'onzu's expression hardens as they shudder.>
But this change is not that.
Completion
Imagine the lengths these agents of monotony had to go to in order to get me -- ME, THE LOA OF CHANGE -- to interfere with their dream-changing plot?
The absolute gall!
Notes
- Upon accept
- Q'onzu says: Tasting this flame pollen has given me a small glimpse into the terrible, unchanging state that awaits these creatures.
- Q'onzu says: Take this charm and use my vision to see which creatures have been afflicted. You know what to do next.
Use the charm, granting a 90-second true sight buff, then look for the revealed red-tinged Cinderpollen Beasts, which can take the form of Verdant Bristlebruins, Verdant Dream Ravens, Verdant Gladeharts, Verdant Dreamsabers in the Meandering Rootlands.
On return:
- Q'onzu says: Come now, Aviana! Is credit not due where credit is earned?
- Aviana says: Your penchant for fascinated inaction has finally yielded fruit. Do try your best not to choke on it.
- Q'onzu says: You wound me, oh Lady of the Birds. Do not mistaken my curiosity for change for meaningless inaction.
- Aviana twitches and ruffles her wings in aggravation.
