It seems every day there's less fog near the Observatory.

It makes me wonder if there's a problem with the Nepra trees--or with Hreidmar himself.

Hreidmar guards the spirits around here--a magnificent creature, but he's not exactly friendly. I'm afraid I haven't managed to stay on good terms with him.

You see, Hreidmar protects the Nepra trees, and the trees create the fog...so naturally, Hreidmar considers anything the fog touches to be part of his domain!

If there's a problem, though, perhaps we ought to offer to help.

He'll never ask, of course, but it might improve his attitude....Azphel knows it could use some improving.

your character, will you go to Hreidmar and see if there's something we can do for him?

Consider it a diplomatic mission of sorts....

What is it, Asmodian?

Explain your interruption or begone. You disturb my peace.

A problem, yes. The Mau...the Mist Manes. Something they're doing is alarming my Nepra trees.

It would please me to know more, but to accept help from Asmodians...well...I've not fallen quite so low.

Trust, you say? There's only one Asmodian I trust--Ahin. And she is far from here, in the Abyss.

But if she spoke for you, and only then...I might be convinced.

Is there something I can do for you? Soul healing is my duty and calling.

But that's not why you're here, is it, Daeva? You have come for a very different purpose--I can sense it.

Now I understand! Hreidmar is not the most trusting of creatures. And to him we're inferior beings anyway!

It took me years to gain Hreidmar's trust, but you don't have years, so I'll give you this Token to take back to him. He'll know that only I could have given it to you.

I know your reputation and I trust your integrity, your character. I believe you'll use my Token well. Be warned, though, if you lose Hreidmar's trust, you'll have lost mine as well.

It's you, is it? I wondered whether you'd be back.

Did you see Ahin?

Ahin puts some faith in you...I can do no less.

So I'll give you a task, Asmodian. The Mist Mane Mau gather at the Altar of the Black Dragon. It would please me if you would go there and see what they're up to.

Perhaps I'll find another task for you when you return.

So the Asmodian has returned. What of the Mau, then?

Tell me everything you saw and heard.

Blast those sun-cursed Mist Mane Mau! May the Balaur drag them all to....

Do you really want my trust, Asmodian? Do you?

Kill Spiritchaser Parunru. She must not harm my trees again!

Is she dead? Spiritchaser Parunru? Have you destroyed her utterly?

Yes...yes. She'll curse my trees no more.

For this service, I honor you. You may go.

Ah, there you are.

I heard you managed to get on Hreidmar's good side--not easily done, I'm sure. Azphel knows I've not had much luck at it.

So tell me the whole story. I like a good laugh!

Ha! Great job, your character--well done!

Maybe he'll be a bit more cooperative with us now, eh?

Oh, and take this. You've truly earned it.

1. Talk with Tyr.

2. Speak to Hreidmar.

3. Go to Reshanta and see Ahin.

4. Talk with Hreidmar.

5. Spy on the Mist Mane Mau at the Altar of the Black Dragon.

6. Scouting complete! Report to Hreidmar.

7. Kill Spiritchaser Parunru (/1).

8. Report to Hreidmar.

9. Tell the story to Tyr.

Order: Aetheric Field Protector Tyr wants you to go and see Hreidmar.

Tyr said that you should go to Hreidmar, the guardian of the area where the Observatory is located, and find out if there's a problem with the Nepra trees.

Hreidmar said he couldn't place his faith in you until you earned the trust of Ahin.

Ahin gave you a Token for gaining Hreidmar's trust. He sent you to scout the local Mau, who were killing the Nepra trees. You killed the Mau priestess responsible for the deaths of the Nepra trees.
