Something terrible is...happening inside of me, Daeva. My friends, the insects, have changed....

The Aether has mutated them...turned them against me.

Now they feed...upon me.

Shishir, Gellmar, and Neith.

They were once my friends. But now they are eating...me to death. The pain I can handle, Daeva. But what they possess...must be taken from them.

They have items...which have become very potent over time. Please...help me to kill them, Daeva. I do not trust them with such power...any longer.

Shishir has...Shishir's Powerstone. Gellmar has Gellmar's Wardstone.

And Neith has...Neith's Sleepstone.

Kill them...and then help me destroy...the wicked Aether within each of these items...by using them repeatedly.

I ask this not...just for me, but for all creatures here.

The Aether...will hurt many soon.

Please help nature...to correct itself.

I had hoped that...my old friends wouldn't need to be killed.

But that was the only way...to destroy what they held.

Is the task complete?

The Powerstone, the Wardstone...and the Sleepstone are pure once more.

I owe you my gratitude, Daeva.

You are the guardian of my forest.

1. Get and use the powerful items from the Taloc's Tormentors.

   Shishir's Powerstone(/10)

   Gellmar's Wardstone(/5)

   Neith's Sleepstone(/3)

2. Talk with Taloc's Mirage.

The tainted Aether inside Taloc turned his friends into enemies. Destroy them and purify their powerful items.

Taloc was sad to see that the Aether inside his body had mutated his old insect friends and turned them into parasites.

He asked you to purify the powerful items they possessed. So you got rid of Shishir, Gellmar, and Neith, and took their items, using them to purge the tainted Aether within.
