Script
I'll get straight to the point. Akasha has left Southern Shara, and it's almost certain she took the Core with her. I put in a word with our colleagues in Velika, and High Priestess Ciebel thinks she's found Akasha already.

(Let's go.)

Allemantheia cannot spare me in this state. You'll have to go alone. Use this teleportal scroll, then talk to Ciebel in Velika.

Please hurry. Every day without the Core brings Allemantheia closer to slipping into the sands.

(Alright.)

I was hoping Fraya would send you, [player name]. I sensed two powerful presences — one emanating an elven serenity, the other seething with barely suppressed rage — enter the Hungry Caverns.

(And one is Akasha?)

Yes. The echoes are fading, but she can't have gone far.

Go to Castanica first. Elleon is there.

(Okay.)

[player name]! Wherever I go, I hear of your exploits. We were blindsided in Allemantheia, but this time, we'll regain the Core.

(You know where it is?)

Ciebel gave me a few leads. You know how good her sources are!

Someone matching Akasha's description has been seen among the gulas. It's not much, but it's a lead.

Fraya might have more details for you.

(Okay.)

Akasha is hiding among the gulas, and I'm not sure why. Why bring the Core here?

I have my own suspicions... suspicions that drew me here, even though I'm needed back home. Also, here is in the scope of Velika.

Regardless of my problems, we need the Core back. Check in with Smernav at the Gula Avenger Outpost. He'll get you inside the caverns.

(Okay.)

Elleon and Fraya sent you? Well, I hope you like a good fight. The gulas will give you all you can handle.

The most dangerous of them is the enforcer Dulinka and his mekkitar guards.

They're in the innermost part of the first floor; take them out, and you may gain some advantage.

(Okay.)

Don't hurt me! It's not my fault!

Sure, I kept a high elf prisoner, but I didn't eat him!

Look at me! I'm skin and bones! The high elf smelled so... so delicious. But I was a good gula. He still has all his fingers and toes!

(Where is he now?)

The high elf? Akasha has him, I bet.

First I was supposed to move the elf along with the supplies, but then Akasha changed plans.

Now the orders say just move the supplies, not the tasty, juicy elf. My ledger says so!

(Okay.)

You've got gluron's ledger!

I've heard that the gulas stocked in on a lot recently. I can't be sure, but it has to do something with Akasha. This place definitely has more than we know.

First, let's go back to Fraya and check the ledger.

(Let's go.)

Let's go!

(I understand.)

The ledger confirms what we thought — Akasha has kidnapped the Core, and she's taking him to Fyrmount.

(Thank you.)

Summary Upon Completion
Fraya asked you to track down Akasha, who kidnapped Serion, a living embodiment of the Core energy that powers high elf civilization. You arrived in Castanica, where Elleon told you that Akasha was working with gulas from the Hungry Caverns.

You infiltrated the Hungry Caverns, defeated the head gula, Gluorn, and discovered that Akasha had likely fled to Fyrmount.
