Quest Offering:

* Nepenthe gazes at you with a profound determination. "I have spoken with Gilndor and Minnai, and it seems all of our children disappeared within a few days of one another. It also seems that they were last seen on the far east end of the beach."
* "There is an old Kojani fisherman who spends a lot of time down there. I would hate to think he had anything to do with it… but I must know. Go search for clues, and confront him for what he might know - or claim to know."

Npc Dialogue
Quiling Li

* You say, "Old man, I must have a word with you."
* Quiling gazes at you and says, "Quiling is happy to talk. What do you need?"
* "I found this doll in your fish basket," you say, holding it out and tapping it. "Where did it come from?"
* He gazes at it and says, "The sand." You note a tone of melancholy in his voice.
* "Do you know who it belonged to?" you demand.
* Quiling gazes at the ground and says, "A little girl."
* "Who?" you demand.
* "Nepethe's little one," he says. He reaches out a hand for the doll.
* You lurch it away from him. "Why do you have it?" you ask. "Did you do something to her? Did you do something to all the missing children?"
* His eyes widen and he looks alarmed. "No!" he says. "Quiling fishes, that's all."
* "Then why do you have it? How do you know that it's hers?" you ask.
* "I saw…" he said, trembling. "I saw her playing, and then, she was gone. They all want the same way. I couldn't help them."
* "You say nothing at all?" you ask. "I find that hard to believe."
* "I… I saw something," he said. "I saw a flowing gossomar dress on the wind. A woman's high voice soothing them. The Mother of the Lost." The name comes out as a whisper.
* "She comes for them…" he says. "She comes for the children, and takes them away in a time of need."
* "What time of need?" you ask.
* "The Cataclysm," he says, "she came for them then. She comes for them now. We are doomed."

Quest Completion

* Nepethe puts her hand to her throat and says, "You say Quiling had nothing to offer besides a children's tale?"
* [Continue]
* "The bedtime stories of Kojani humans offer me no comfort," she says. "I will not fool myself into believing that some ancient woman stole my children away to safety! I am not so naive…"
* "Though… if it were true…" She looks thoughtful, and then somber. "It would mean that we will soon face great hardship."
