In Water, Clarity

The Earthen Ring is a valued mortal friend of the Hydraxian Waterlords. Place those beads beneath one of my binding bracers and let my flowing waters do the rest. I share the concern of your troll friend; the corruption within them is indeed potent. Fret not, it is not potent enough to bring an elemental Duke such as I to his knees, though it has surely done a number on the furbolgs.

As for the shrines of my brethren, I too sense more than one conflict in Moonwhisper Coast. Their guardians have risen to protect their places of worship, yet perhaps this is a time for mortals, not elementals. I have come to consider that the day may arrive when I must rely upon your kind, perhaps even you. If the mortal children of this world wish to stand tall in adversity, how could I deny you this duty? Retrieve your beads, mortal, return to your troll friend, soothe my brethren?s unrest, and stand resolute in your choice.

You return unharmed.

I wonder if the Duke saw something in you. His words are not to be taken lightly. It is a great honor to be spoken to so reverently by the elements, especially one of such title. Speak to Lotka, your next quest awaits.
