The 10 quest steps

1. 1Talk to Doc Ettem Bworn

   Dialogue[1,6] · Doc Ettem Bworn

   The Doc tells you that it is thanks to you that an Altdemon was able to get through. The fabric of Time must be repaired: go see the Time Warden in Amakna. Given the urgency, he will agree to be disturbed outside the 5 minutes before each hour at which he usually receives visitors.

2. 2Join Henual

   Movement[2,1] · Henual

   Enter the time building. If you have already solved the slab puzzle, touch Henual's Dial at the entrance to be teleported. Otherwise, click a star on the mobile hanging from the ceiling to open a secret passage, then cross two slab rooms, with at least 7 characters: in the first, 5 characters reproduce the shape of the barrels on the slabs and another one pulls the lever; in the second, 6 characters and one at the lever.

4. 4Pick Up Ephemulberry Leaves

   On the map to the right, click the plant near the Xelor temple. The leaves are used to attract time silkworms.
