1,"TEXT_BANQIQ003_03796_SEQ_01","You engage in a stimulating conversation with the Great Serpent of Ronka, who─you surmise from the urgency and eagerness of its screeing─is keen to see the Stewards press deeper into the tunnels of Hopl's Stopple. Should you be inclined to heed its call, seek out Chaqurl Qhotl and see how you might best proceed.

※Please note that the difficulty of this quest has been synced to your current level. Furthermore, you may not proceed with a class or job that is different from when you accepted this quest."
2,"TEXT_BANQIQ003_03796_SEQ_02","You seek out and speak with Chaqurl Qhotl. It appears that further progress through the tunnels of Hopl's Stopple will require you to perform a ceremony in obeisance to Ox'Dalan, god of death and protector of the underworld. Qitarl Natl suggests that perhaps the Viis, as a fellow ancient race with ties to Ronka, might be able to offer apt advice in the matter. Finding his reasoning sound, you agree to accompany Chaqurl Qhotl to Fanow in search of wisdom."
3,"TEXT_BANQIQ003_03796_SEQ_03","Your old friends Ciuna and Phyna bid you welcome in your return to Fanow. After reminiscing about her friendship with one of Chaqurl's ancestors, Master Lanille enlightens you with the knowledge that a traditional Viis ritual may serve to appease Ox'Dalan and offer the Qitari excavation team passage to the tunnels below. At the Viis' request, you set out to procure an item suitable for use as an offering to the gods of old."
4,"TEXT_BANQIQ003_03796_SEQ_04","Back at Hopl's Stopple, all rejoice at your success in tracking down the offering for the ritual, which─with the help of Chaqurl Qhotl, who has diligently learned the accompanying prayer from Master Lanille─proceeds without a hitch. At long last, the second phase of the excavation may begin. After a short while spent waiting, the Qitari father and son return...what, pray tell, did they find on their expedition?"
5,"TEXT_BANQIQ003_03796_SEQ_05","Qitarl and Chaqurl reveal that they have managed to locate the second Qitari stela which, unfortunately, is in the same shabby shape as the first one they discovered. This one appears to depict the first encounter between the Qitari and the Viis, but─not unlike last time─the father and son have different ideas about how the weathered markings should be interpreted. At the urging of yet another incarnation of the Great Serpent of Ronka─or so it appears to be─you are charged with mediating between the two and choosing the version of history that will be engraved upon the stone and passed down to posterity."

50,"TEXT_BANQIQ003_03796_CHAQURLQHOTL_100_011","Oh, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>! You'll be happy to know that the charm your friends fashioned for us worked most splendidly! We've been able to reach deeper depths than ever before!"
51,"TEXT_BANQIQ003_03796_CHAQURLQHOTL_000_011","And thanks to you, the restoration of the first stela is all but complete! You simply must see it!"
52,"TEXT_BANQIQ003_03796_QITARLNATL_000_012","...Ahem. You'll also be pleased to know that the relics and records that turned up in our subsequent trips below have confirmed that the interpretation of history that you espoused was indeed and indubitably true."
53,"TEXT_BANQIQ003_03796_QITARLNATL_000_013","We came upon many ritual instruments in the tunnels below. It would seem that─in the empire's earliest days─the Ronkans would offer individuals chosen from the races they conquered as living sacrifices to their gods. The markings on the first stela depict just such a scene."
54,"TEXT_BANQIQ003_03796_QITARLNATL_000_014","But this was not simply a cruel and callous tradition. Once these conquered peoples were recognized by the Ronkan gods, they were welcomed into Ronkan society, and given the chance to serve the empire and live peaceful, prosperous lives under its auspices."
55,"TEXT_BANQIQ003_03796_QITARLNATL_000_015","It is a somewhat chilling tale, but we must be grateful to our ancestors, who gave their own lives that we who followed might live a brighter future."

It is most clear that─let it suffice to say─we Qitari have never been particularly adept at the art of war. So it was that our ancestors searched far and wide for a safe haven where they could call home."
58,"TEXT_BANQIQ003_03796_QITARLNATL_000_018","Ronka, on the other hand, was composed of many strong peoples─the Ronso, brave warriors; the Drahn, adept at the arcane arts; and the Viis, peerless archers─all working together for the empire's prosperity."
59,"TEXT_BANQIQ003_03796_QITARLNATL_000_019","Not long after the Qitari first made contact with the empire, our skill as scribes and scriveners became evident to high-ranking court officials, and we were offered a prominent role in Ronkan society in return for our loyal service."

62,"TEXT_BANQIQ003_03796_QITARLNATL_000_022","I have sent a team below to conduct a preliminary investigation before we begin the next phase of the excavation in earnest. My trusted scout Towarl Manol should be here to make her report at any─"

65,"TEXT_BANQIQ003_03796_TWARLMANOL_000_025","Entering the second stratum, we came upon a shrine to our protector, Ox'Dalan. It appeared to have been ravaged by the beasts that lurk below, but still it stood after all these years..."
66,"TEXT_BANQIQ003_03796_QITARLNATL_000_026","A shrine, you say? No doubt it was erected by our ancestors, most likely to ward off some greater danger that lurks further below..."
67,"TEXT_BANQIQ003_03796_TWARLMANOL_000_027","This was my thought as well, Master Qitarl. A cave-in? A flood? Fearsome creatures from the deep? We were too fear stricken to press onward, not knowing what manner of calamity might befall us..."
68,"TEXT_BANQIQ003_03796_CHAQURLQHOTL_000_028","But we must press on somehow! Can we not appeal to Dalan somehow, that He might protect us as we delve further?"

71,"TEXT_BANQIQ003_03796_A1_000_001","I think I know a Viis who could help you..."

75,"TEXT_BANQIQ003_03796_QITARLNATL_000_031","Long-lived as they are, the wisdom they have passed down through generations doubtless rivals that which our ancestors recorded. If anyone can help us, I daresay it is them."

81,"TEXT_BANQIQ003_03796_LANILLE_000_045","We had heard rumors the Qitari had returned to the Greatwood, but did not expect to receive a visit so soon. Just seeing you brings back memories of olden times..."

83,"TEXT_BANQIQ003_03796_LANILLE_000_047","...I am older than you might think, my little friend. Anyhow, the answer is yes. Have you heard the name Shiparl Toqal? She was a close friend of mine, and would come calling often to exchange news of the wood."
84,"TEXT_BANQIQ003_03796_CHAQURLQHOTL_000_048","Shiparl Toqal? I do believe I saw that name on Father's family tree. But if I recall correctly, she was my...great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandmother!"
85,"TEXT_BANQIQ003_03796_LANILLE_000_049","Ahahaha! It was that long ago, was it? How quickly the years fly by. Still, I am heartened by your presence, young Chaqurl. For many years after the Flood, I feared we would never see one of your kind again."
86,"TEXT_BANQIQ003_03796_LANILLE_100_049","And you, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>. Welcome back to Fanow. What brings you to us this day?"
87,"TEXT_BANQIQ003_03796_LANILLE_000_050","...I see. Our Qitari friends seek to discover their history, and reclaim the knowledge and lore of their ancestors. An admirable goal, indeed. And doubtless not a simple task."
88,"TEXT_BANQIQ003_03796_CIUNA_000_051","We would be honored to lend you our aid, and reforge the bonds between our peoples that were so strong in the days of Ronka. Now, do tell me more about these tunnels you are exploring!"
89,"TEXT_BANQIQ003_03796_PHYNA_000_052","My dear sister has quite a weakness for ancient Ronkan ruins and relics, you see."
90,"TEXT_BANQIQ003_03796_PHYNA_000_053","To tell the truth, I had been preparing to leave the Greatwood on a journey of the realm. But if the Qitari require my aid, perhaps I could postpone my departure just a bit longer..."

94,"TEXT_BANQIQ003_03796_LANILLE_000_057","Very little, I am afraid─the tales I can remember hearing from my dear departed friend, and no more. Sadly, the precise details of Qitari rites and rituals are beyond my recollection."
95,"TEXT_BANQIQ003_03796_LANILLE_000_058","And yet, I do recall Shiparl once mentioning that Qitari prayers to Ox'Dalan were remarkably similar in form to our own petitions to Yx'Maja."
96,"TEXT_BANQIQ003_03796_LANILLE_000_059","It is not so surprising, perhaps, given how closely our two peoples were connected in those days. If we were to teach you one of our own traditions, mayhap you could adapt it for your own purposes?"
97,"TEXT_BANQIQ003_03796_CHAQURLQHOTL_000_060","You would do this for us!?"
98,"TEXT_BANQIQ003_03796_LANILLE_000_061","Gladly, old friend. But first, we will need to prepare a simple altar for performing the rite, and find ourselves a suitable offering."
