Ah, your character! I've been continuing my examination of the Ancient Dragonbound Document.

I could spend years poring over it, but I found something that could be of immediate use to you--a Stigma slot ceremony.

Apparently, even a few Dragonbound could ascend. That fact alone is extremely interesting.

Hah, I agree. But the ceremony's unlike anything I've ever seen, and it doesn't seem dangerous. It might be worth trying.

Garath, a Stigma master, was very interested in my findings. He wants to be the first to perform it.

He will require assistance in both preparing and executing the ceremony. Would you be willing to aid him?

Garath is right upstairs. I've already told him to expect a Daeva willing to help him.

However, I must warn you that if I understand the ceremony and its needs correctly, what he asks of you may be extremely difficult.

But the rewards will be great, for our knowledge of the Dragonbound and Stigma slots, and for you personally.

I understand that you may be reluctant to participate in a ceremony created by the Dragonbound.

But I've examined it carefully, and I assure you there is no danger at all. And a new Stigma slot would be of great use to you.

Don't take my word for it. Ask others, think it through. Return to me if you change your mind.

Welcome. Are you here to inquire about Stigma? I could talk about it for hours!

Or are you in need of my services?

Ah, you're the one Herka had in mind! Excellent!

It's not every day I find a completely new method of dealing with Stigma slots. This is very exciting for me, personally and professionally.

I'm glad I have a fine Daeva like you to assist me.

1. Talk to Garath.

Garath, a Stigma master, is looking for someone who can help him with a new Stigma slot ceremony. Go see him.

Herka found a unique Stigma slot ceremony in the Ancient Dragonbound Document. After showing it to Garath, a Stigma master, he wanted to give it a try.

You went to see him, and he was delighted that you were willing to help.
