The 15 quest steps

1. 1Talk to your class leader

   Dialogue

   The quest starts with your class leader, for example Rok Elreuss in [5,-19] for the Iops. He tells you that Adviser Arky has asked to see you.

   Dialogue

   1. “Ask if he still needs you”

2. 2Talk to Adviser Arky

   Dialogue[4,-19] · Adviser Arky

   Arky tells you that the head of the Astrub Council wants to meet you.

   Dialogue

   1. “Ask why you were summoned”

   

3. 3Meet Fallanster

   Dialogue[4,-19] · Fallanster

   Go up to the upper floor by the stairs behind Arky. Fallanster gives you a mission: negotiate with the leader of the Strubian Rats about the toxic fumes they are said to be releasing into the mines.

   Dialogue

   1. “Accept”

4. 4Search for a gift at Jobe Sentre's

   Movement[4,-19] · Jobe Sentre

   Before the meeting, go and get a gift from Jobe Sentre, on the ground floor of the Council Tower. The quest Health Crisis unlocks at that point.

5. 5Defeat the Famished Rats

   Combat[6,-13] · Famished Rat

   Enter the sewers through the manhole in [5,-17] and join the Strubian Rats. A Famished Rat wants to steal the gift meant for their leader: talk to it, and a fight starts against 3 Famished Rats. It can be done in a group.

6. 6Listen to Ramane Itoo

   Dialogue[6,-13] · Ramane Itoo

   The rat leader finally arrives and pleads their innocence. He shows you a tuft of gray hair found on a grate where the fumes come out: Rotcere hair, according to him.

7. 7Explore the quarry mine

   Movement[10,-19] · Veteran Guarcere

   Enter the mine, go forward one map straight ahead, then go right onto a somewhat hidden map. A Veteran Guarcere doesn't want you snooping around here.

   Dialogue

   1. “Leave.”

   

8. 8Create a diversion

   [10,-19]

   Go back and climb to the map above: click on the satchel to get a Fairywork Signal, capable of making a huge noise in the mine. Go back down one map, then double-click the fairy in your quest inventory.

9. 9Spy on the Guarceres

   [10,-19]

   Go back to the chest gallery and stand on a cell behind the barrels to hide. Talk to one Veteran Guarcere, then the other: they go off to see where the noise came from. Then click on the big chest to see what it holds.

10. 10Meet Ratathrosk

    Dialogue[10,-19] · Ratathrosk

    On the other side, a small dragon is locked up: it is being exploited by the Rotceres. You have to break the lock on its cage.

    Dialogue

    1. “Get the young dragon's attention”

11. 11Release Ratathrosk

    [10,-19]

    Go out in front of the mine and click on the blue pickaxe to pick it up. Equip it as a weapon, then go back to Ratathrosk to smash the lock blocking the wheel.

12. 12Fight the Veteran Guarceres

    Combat[10,-19] · Veteran Guarcere

    Go back to the previous map: the Veteran Guarceres block your way. Talk to one of them to force your way through. The fight is solo, with Ratathrosk.

    • Veteran Guarcerefight · level 25 · 280 HP · 8 AP · 4 MP

13. 13Introduce Ratathrosk to Fallanster

    Dialogue[4,-19] · Fallanster

    Go back to the upper floor of the Council room. Ratathrosk has taken the form of a squirrel: talk to Fallanster again to show him its true form and sum up the events. A myth speaks of a dragon that once protected Astrub, long ago, perhaps linked to Ratathrosk.

    

14. 14Talk to Aisling

    Dialogue[7,-19] · Aisling

    On the first floor of the library, Aisling read a book that mentions a gray squirrel: it's no coincidence. The records about Astrub's protector dragon have sadly been destroyed. The quest History in Motion unlocks.

    Dialogue

    1. “Talk about the dragon Ratathrosk”

    

15. 15Listen to the Mercenary Recruit

    Dialogue[7,-19] · Mercenary Recruit

    A Mercenary Recruit appears with a message from Igor Ant. The quest ends; if you keep chatting, you get the next one.
