What to do
Description
Powerful spirits watch over my tribe -- Kaskala will not be lost. Issliruk will give us courage, Tayutka will make sure our survivors always have food and shelter and Karkut will watch over the fallen so they do not lose their way. Issliruk's guidance is the one we need the most right now. I asked my nephew, Iruk, to bring me Issliruk's totem, but the Kvaldir's spears struck him down and his body fell into the waters to the north. Bring me the totem, {name}. Don't let my nephew's death be in vain.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Muahit's Wisdom
Listen, <name>. Warriors like me are replaceable. If I fall, my brothers and cousins will pick up my spear and fight. My people cannot survive without wise elders. Stubborn Muahit, our most venerable shaman, refuses to leave the altar to Tayutka in the central island.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Tides Turn
The spirits have heard our cry for help, <name>. It's a sign that Kaskala might yet be saved. Take advantage of the confusion the weather has created and slay the Kvaldir leader. Your actions will sway the battle in our favor, I am sure of it.
