What to do
Description
These hozen are behaving most unnaturally, {name}. Marching in formation? In armor? This troubles me. We must discuss it at another time, however. I have come to ask for your assistance. The ancient fresco, where last we spoke, is nearly unveiled. I am certain that it holds ancient wisdom - knowledge that the emperor wanted us to remember. My meditations alone may not be enough to discern its meaning. Please, take this heirloom to the shrine of my ancestors. I shall require their assistance.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Gauging Our Progress
The time for war is at hand, <name>! We've been training these natives non-stop since you left, and I believe they're as good as they're going to get. See for yourself. Check in with the others and return with your findings. We must rely on our enemy being somehow... even less prepared.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Seal is Broken
<Cho looks at you in disbelief.> I... I thought Sha of this immensity were a myth - we all did. Just a story to keep our children from fighting. No time to talk now. Those fissures - they're feeding it... it grows stronger by the moment! I must research the scrolls from my family archives.
