Hunting Dramata is about conviction, your character.

I still can't believe some Asmodians don't believe in Dramata. Hah! Once the baleful creatures have caused the deaths of thousands, then they'll start believing.

I could have been an Archon, but hunting these monsters is far more important.

When a Daeva is born, we call it ascension. When a Balaur is born, they call it "awakening." Simply put, Dramata are dragons that have failed to awaken.

But the Dramata are failures that nonetheless wield colossal power, and serve a greater purpose. After failing to awaken, a Dramata feels depression, angst, and sorrow for the rest of its life. It crawls into a dark place and hides from the world outside.

Hidden in that dark place, the Dramata does the one thing it can to feel needed--it breeds. One Dramata can hatch hundreds, or even thousands of lesser Drakan children who then protect it with their lives, and later become soldiers for the Balaur.

It's hard not to feel pity for the creatures, but the Dramata must be slain if we are to win this war. They are the reason the ranks of the Balaur continue to swell, no matter how much we cull their numbers.

We're here on the trail of a Dramata known as Padmarashka, one of the oldest and foulest of the Dramata. However...our progress is being hindered by the creatures in the Petralith Canyon.

your character, if you would eliminate those creatures, we could continue the hunt for Padmarashka. I have a pair of rare boots that don't fit me. If you slay the beasts, the boots are yours.

Thank you, your character.

Head to Petralith Canyon and eradicate the beasts there, then return with their Pulsing Crystals as proof.

We've slain the beasts ourselves several times...but they just keep coming back. It's likely you'll need to undertake this mission several times before we can pick up Padmarashka's trail again.

Return with the crystals and 50,000 Kinah. Once we regain Padmarashka's scent, the boots will be yours.

Wait...you want to try the shoes on first?

I'm not sure I trust you, your character....

You look to be very fast on your feet....

Batalrion was just down by the Petralith Canyon and managed to pick up several traces of Padmarashka.

Was it you that got rid of the creatures?

Show me the Pulsing Crystals and the 50,000 Kinah if you want the boots.

You're sure about the Kinah, your character?

If you don't like the boots, you don't have to give me the Kinah.

Look...I can slay the creatures myself if you're too busy, your character.

The fact that you haven't gathered the crystals yet just shows me that you're inept.

If the Kinah is the problem, I can assure you that the boots are worth far more than that.

Were you hurt, your character? I should hope not.

I could have butchered those creatures in minutes, but you looked bored.

Let me see if we've captured Padmarashka's trail. If we have, the boots are yours. Otherwise, I'll need your help once more....

1. Gather Pulsing Crystals and bring them to Helline.

   Pulsing Crystal x30, Kinah x50,000

Helline is having difficulties with creatures in Petralith Canyon hindering her pursuit of the Dramata known as Padmarashka. Get rid of them to aid her.

Helline said troublesome creatures in the Petralith Canyon were keeping her from tracking Padmarashka, and she asked you to slay them to aid her pursuit, promising a special pair of boots once her way was clear.

You returned after slaying the creatures, and Helline was grateful, at least in her own fashion.
