TheWoWDBUpon accepting this quest, theres a surprisingly emotional scene between Crystal-Shaper Barum and his daughter Melani
Melani: Papa, I'm scared!
Barum: I know, lightning bug. But Papa needs you to be brave right now. Do you remember what you want to be when you grow up? Come now, you just told me this morning.
Melani: <sniff sniff> ...a vindicator.
Barum: And what are vindicators like?
Melani: ...they're brave.
Barum: That's right! Now can you be brave for me, Vindicator Melani?
Melani: I'll try!
Barum: There's my girl. Now stay close to Papa. Let's go! *both run into the woods*

When the fires broke out, I took only my daughter's hand before we fled.if only he'd thought to take the rest of her too! no wonder the quest is called "Pieces of Us"
Remember kids, it's never safe to reenter a burning building, not even for your favorite toys. It's perfectly fine to send a complete stranger in to retrieve your doll, though.

When the fires broke out, I took only my daughter's hand before we fled. It was the right decision, of course, but I do long for some of the things we left behind. I am an artificer, a shaper of crystals and gems. Without my tools I am just another refugee. Our town records are kept in a memory crystal in the main hall. With it, I can carry forward the knowledge and legacy of Aruuna. Also, my daughter is terrified - it would be a great comfort for her to hold her favorite doll again.
