Yrliet"What?.." Yrliet's face betrays her surprise. When she speaks, there is sadness in her words: "How could the spirit stones of my kin end up in such a gods-forsaken place? Elantach, please, allow me to watch over them."
YOU"Tell me about the stones, Yrliet."
Yrliet"I could perform a three-night ballad about the creation of the first stone, but alas, you do not have the luxury of eternity's favour. You should know what is important — the stones shield the spirits of the Children of Asuryan from the insatiable thirst of Sai'lanthresh after they die. They also enable the ancestors to share their wisdom, even sometimes lending us strength to fight our enemies."

YOU"Marazhai, what do you need the stones for?"
Marazhai"Imagine you have a heart just ripped from your enemy's breast. It seems fragile and fluttering, but clutch it in your hand, and it will tear open the skin and plunge you into an ocean of sensation. It's a torment and ecstasy that make your blood boil and your soul burn in agony... Oh yes, I will find a good use for the useless spirits powering these stones."

Marazhai"Or [Name] can give them to me." Marazhai's voice is dripping with dark hunger. "I will find for them a proper use."
Yrliet"How long do you intend to torment my kin? The elantach is no fool and he/she will not indulge your malice and hatred!"

Jae"These smuggler wannabes were hardly aware of the true value of this treasure. If you ask me, shereen, these stones can be sold to a reliable and very rich collector at a profit. And when I say at a profit, I mean it."
