Cursed Life

I manage this wharf and oversee the many tasks necessary to keep these airships coming and going. My job allows me the chance to look at the sky often. Sometimes, I feel like I spend all day looking up.

Can't say I dislike it. In fact, I used to daydream about flying as a child.

Sigh...that was such a long time ago. Who would have thought that things would change so much?

• "Tell me more."

I first fell in love with flying because of Rok.

Watching it spread its massive wings and soar through the sky stirred something deep in me. My people called Rok the King of Birds because of its power and dignity.

But even Rok couldn't avoid the corruption that befell Gracia. This noble creature became a vile undead.

And there's more...

• "What else?"

No, I shouldn't have said all this to worry you, adventurer. You can listen to my complaints but look too inexperienced to resolve my problem. If you have more experience and become more capable, will you come and see me some time?

(Only characters level 75 and above and who cleared the quest on a good day for flying are permitted to take on this quest.)

The bigger problem is Rok, who became undead because of the evil power of the Seed of Infinity. The Rok and its followers, Mutant Birds and Dra Hawks are viciously attacking everyone in their sight.

They have attacked and eaten people before, but not like this.

The army has been ordered to destroy them. I'm in charge of recruiting the adventurers we need for the task.

I guess it's better this way. Only by destroying their accursed lives can we truly liberate these once-noble creatures.

Will you help us?

• Say yes.

Really? Thank you.

If you hunt Rok and open its stomach, you will find undigested remains. The same is true of the Mutant Birds and Dra Hawks, although you'll find fewer remains in them.

Bring me Swallowed Skulls as evidence, as well as Swallowed Sternums and Swallowed Bones. We will reward you for your efforts -- especially for the skulls you bring back.

One more thing: Rok fears the Dark Black Dragon's followers. That's why it emerges only when the Seed of Infinity is stabilized. That means Rok can only be hunted when the Seed is occupied. Remember that!

Good luck and good hunting.

Hurry! They appear in the skies above the Seed of Infinity. Hunt

Rok, Mutant Birds and Dra Hawks and bring back Swallowed Skulls, Swallowed Sternums and Swallowed Bones as proof.

Remember that Rok will only emerge when the Seed of Immortiality is stabilized.

I'm counting on you!

How was your hunting? Let me see the remains I asked you to bring back.

Hmm... I'd hoped for more. Perhaps you haven't yet found the Rok.

But since you brought the remains from some of the lesser birds, I will give you the reward I promised.

You're going back out, aren't you?

• "I'll do better next time."
• "I want to quit."

Have you finished your hunting? Then show me the remains I asked you to bring back.

Let's see...

Oh...you brought back a lot! From this, I can tell that you caught Rok and split its stomach open. Either that or you must have hunted a great many Mutant Birdsand Dra Hawks!

Here is the reward I promised. Let me ask you, though -- are you interested in hunting more of the creatures?

• Say yes.
• Say you've had enough.

Leave now! Remember that Rok appears only when the Seed of Immortaility is stabilized. Hunt

Rok, Mutant Birds and Dra Hawks and bring back Swallowed Skulls, Swallowed Sternums and Swallowed Bones recovered from their stomachs.

Good hunting!

I see. Well, I understand. It's regrettable, but I guess I'll have to look for someone else. Farewell.
