What to do
Description
Yeah yeah, I'm sure Felora wants you back. That woman has no respect for innovation. When I told her about the modifications I was making for my Earth Elemental, she nearly threw a fit. Go tell her everything's all well and dandy. And tell her she's not getting a share of my inevitable fortune either. She probably likes sleeping on the rock anyway.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Totem Modification
Okay, I'll let you in on the real work, since you're looking at me so desperately. This rock is untapped! It's probably richer than a trade prince during a great war! I need samples. More samples. Samples from everywhere!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Vengeful Heart
These are the naga that took our people. I only need one to interrogate, kill the rest. Show no mercy, <class>, for they would surely show us none.
