The Nokhud Offensive: Founders Keepers concludes the optional "The Eternal Kurgans" storyline in Teerakai.

Objectives

Teera's Bow placed.
Maruuk's Spear placed.

Enter the Nokhud Offensive, defeat Teera and Maruuk, and place their weapons in the Teerakai kurgan.

Description

Teera and Maruuk's weapons were removed before we stopped Tombcaller Arban. Our greatest ancestors may fight again in these plains... for the Nokhud.

Go to the Nokhud Offensive. Find Maruuk and Teera. When you have subdued them, bring their weapons back to the Teerakai burial mound. We will lay them back to rest with the honor they deserve, in a place we can protect more easily.

Progress

Were you able to defeat the legendary spirits of our founders?

Completion

I would never have expected such help from an outsider before. You have my thanks.

Notes

On accept, Zorig leaves the player's side, runs off, and despawns:

Initiate Zorig says: While you free Maruuk and Teera, I'll update Yuvari on what's happened.

He permanently moves to Teerakai, where he stands next to Elder Yuvari with Cathan's spear in hand.

Teera's Spirit.

Defeat the Teera and Maruuk encounter in the Nokhud Offensive, then loot  [Sarantuya the Ever-True] and  [Batubar the Relentless] from the Ancestors' Treasure Trove. Return to Teerakai in the open world, enter the southeastern side of the kurgan, and interact with the ghost image of Teera's Bow in the innermost right-hand chamber. This causes Teera's Spirit to briefly appear:

Teera's Spirit says: It is good to know Clan Teerai still thrives! You have my gratitude for saving me from fighting against my own people.
Maruuk's Spirit.

Do the same with Maruuk's Spear in the opposite chamber, causing Maruuk's Spirit to appear:

Maruuk's Spirit says: Many thanks, friend, for returning me to my rightful resting place. It is good to know the centaur have more friends than when we first chose to leave our homes.

On completion:

Elder Yuvari says: Zorig?
Initiate Zorig says: Yes, Elder Yuvari?
Elder Yuvari says: You're more than ready to face the trials to become a windsage.
Initiate Zorig says: I agree. I no longer fear the trials.
Elder Yuvari says: Very well. I'll speak to the Ohn.
Initiate Zorig says: Thank you. <name>, please accompany me. I need to put my mother's spear in a safe place.
Zorig runs down the path to the kurgan.
Initiate Zorig says: We'll restore the Eternal Kurgans, and protect them. Still, I'd like to place my mother's spear closer to home where I can watch over it.
Initiate Zorig says: I was not able to heal my mother when she fell ill, but I can ensure her protection and honor her now.
Cathan and Zorig in the kurgan.
Zorig slows down to a walk upon entering the mound. He walks into the first chamber on the left and places the spear on top of the coffin there. The spirit of Cathan the Determined appears in front of him.
Initiate Zorig says: Mother! I... I am sorry. I couldn't heal you. And I'm sorry that when you were dying, I never told you the things I needed to say.
Cathan the Determined says: Zorig, you have nothing to apologize for! You did your best, and you saved me from an afterlife enslaved to those necromancers.
Initiate Zorig says: I... I never thanked you for being such a strong and kind mother. You taught me how to serve my family and my clan.
Cathan the Determined says: I knew. But I was even more proud to have you as a son. You'll do great things for the Ohn'ir, Zorig - you already have.
Cathan fades away.
Initiate Zorig says: I love you, Mother. Thank you for everything.
Initiate Zorig says: And thank you, <name>. My mother is at peace again because of you.
Zorig walks out of the kurgan and back to his old spot next to Yuvari.
