Description

So the Primalists have recruited Clan Nokhud as allies.

We have held off the Primalists until now, but the Nokhud have brought a new weapon: a dragonkiller ballista. I fear Solethus will not be the first dragon to fall to its foul storm magic.

Come. I will take you to the dragons' haven at Shady Sanctuary. You can tell me what you know of the Nokhud while the Khanam Matra gathers her forces. We must prepare for our next move.

Rewards

You will receive:

• 2 62 10
• 1,150 XP

Completion

We have arrived, mortal. Welcome to the Emerald Gardens.

Notes

Merithra and Gerithus in the Shady Sanctuary

Talk to Gerithus:

My mother is kind and trusting, but I will keep my eye on you.

We will travel west to the green dragons' grove. It is a long journey. Are you ready?

 I'm ready to go.

Picking the dialogue option causes the player to hop up on Gerithus' back. Merithra picks up Solethus' body, bolt and everything, after which the two dragons start flying west.

Merithra says: Shortly after we returned to our ancient grove to the west, the Primalists attacked.

Merithra says: We destroyed them, time and again. The Primalists knew they needed the centaur on their side to defeat us.

Merithra says: Clan Nokhud's dragonkiller ballista is the key to their victory.

Gerithus says: The Nokhud are relentless. With their help, Koroleth's Primalist army has found a way to break our defenses.

Merithra says: The barrier to the Ancient Bough must not fall. Within it lies our portal to the Emerald Dream. I shudder to think what they wish to do to it.

Merithra says: Our sanctuary lies ahead. Meet me there. We will rally the remainder of our forces.

The dragons land at the western edge of the Shady Sanctuary and turn into their humanoid forms, with Gerithus ejecting the player.
