Description
They came here for an artifact? The miners must have found something in our crystal mine to the north. By the Light, can you imagine how powerful that thing must be, to attract them all the way here from their spires? I suppose it is in their hands now... You'd have to be crazy to go looking for it...

Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Pyrophobia
W- we have done n-n-nothing to provoke the arakkoa... w-why would they attack Aruuna? What do they want from us? I want to run, but I'm... too afraid. That leader of theirs will burn me to a crisp, I just know it! H-he's just inside the inn...
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Purge of Veil Shadar
Not all arakkoa are alike. <Iskar lifts his sleeve to reveal a mangled, useless wing.> It is no illusion. They did this to me. Before I was even given a name, I was given a place in society: at the bottom. We are many. We make our homes in the places this world has forgotten.
