The NPC dialogue that takes place during this quest:


[npc=187290] says: Through their eyes, you may come to understand our calling.


The player approaches [npc=189261], who is watching over a clutch of bronze dragon eggs. Upon interaction, Xius says: "Please do not distract me. I must focus."


Player: What do you do here?

Xius: Each egg requires careful supervision to reach their full potential. We provide that care.


The player approaches [npc=189262], who is watching over a few blue dragon eggs. Upon interaction, Akxall says: "It fills my heart with joy to be able to serve the dragons again."


Player: Why are there so few eggs here?

Akxall: The blue dragonflight has endured terrible losses as of late. We must help them recover.


The player approaches [npc=185904], who is standing in front of an empty pool. Upon interaction, Mother Elion says: "Our pool remains empty... the eggs we once had, lost forever to time. And without whelps to continue our line, we have no future."


Player: Why do you stay here, if you have no eggs to rear?

Mother Elion: Hope.


The player approaches [npc=189260] who is watching over a pool filled with green dragon eggs. Upon interaction, Zahkrana says: "The green flight defends nature and the Emerald Dream, while we protect living things and the future of dragonkind."


Player: How do you care for these eggs?

Zahkrana says: The water that feeds into the Ruby Lifeshrine flows from the wellspring beneath Tyrhold. These sacred waters nurture the eggs in our care.


Once the quest is turned in, the player can overhear [npc=194174] nearby:


Amella says: What do you mean, 'the whelplings do not want to fly'? This should be second nature to them!

Description

Our calling is care and compassion. We aid the other flights not only for their own sake, but for the sake of dragonkind as a whole. Perhaps speaking with the dragonspawn here at the Ruby Lifeshrine will help you understand us further.
