Description
How strange, to have such a foreign-looking {class} visiting our temple. Are you here to study? You... you look very strong. You wouldn't have any trouble getting accepted into the monastery. You should talk to the High Elder, up on the balcony above.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Getting Permission
My love, Lo, tried to get permission to marry me from the pandriarchs. Though they have passed beyond, their favor would carry a lot of weight. Thing is, they are spirits, and none of the gifts or tributes we brought impress them.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Courteous Guest
I heard, I heard! The High Elder wants you to train with us! There's going to be a banquet for us, the trainees... and you should probably bring a gift, as a sign of courtesy. The oranges in the grove south of the temple are extra-sweet right now. Bring some back, for the banquet.
