Dialogue
Optional dialogue
Assuming we have the right idea, one of the Dawnservant's electors should be here somewhere.
One can tell at a glance how very different the Hanu culture is to the Vanu's.
The water from the falls must flood the wetlands and flow into all these streams and rivers...
I agreed to serve as a guide, not a nursemaid.
Accepting the quest
Start of cutscene.It's like our friend said. The people are in no mood for festivities...
I can only assume they are still recovering from the damage wrought by the storm.
Indeed... Well, let's do what we came to do and find this elector.
Ohokaliy!
Oho...what now?
It's a Hanu greeting. Surely you heard it the last time you were here.
Well, I was busy enjoying the festival...
Greetings to the Third Promise and her entourage! I, Zanuhali, welcome you to Ok'hanu.
As elder of my people, I shall also be fulfilling the duties of elector during the rite of succession.
So our idea about the electors was correct. We just do as Papa said, and retrace his path from the saga!
I'm ready! Give me the feat and test my worth!
All in good time, all in good time. In fact, I came to let you know that we are not quite ready to begin.
For the moment, please enjoy the hospitality of our village.
Should we poke around a bit, then? We might pick up some clues about the feat. You know, prepare ourselves.
That's surprisingly prudent of you.
What! You think I'm being too cautious!?
No, no, I'm impressed, is all. You admire and respect your father, who is prone to decisive action, so I expected you to rush in first and ask questions later. Or never.
I do look up to Papa, but you should know that he has a pragmatic side too. The Head of Reason is the thinker who takes time to consider all the possibilities.
With the long naps he takes these days, though, the Head of Resolve is less restrained by his wisdom. I can't fault you for thinking that's all there is to him, but there's more to the Dawnservant you've seen thus far.
I should like to speak with the Head of Reason one day.
Ah, well...I'm sure you'll catch him awake soon enough.
To return to the subject at hand, you wish to take a look around Ok'hanu, then? Do some groundwork before the feat begins?
Something like that. I mean, I could probably pass this test with my eyes closed, but it'll keep us busy while we're waiting!
Wuk Lamat has the right of it. As Elder Zanuhali is a resident of this village, learning more about it can only improve our chances in the feat.
Right, then. It helped to do some investigating at Wachunpelo, so let's take a look around here as well!
Might I suggest a division of forces? For instance, Erenville, Alisaie, and Krile could concentrate on the southern half of the settlement.
Meanwhile, Wuk Lamat, Forename, and myself will handle this northern half.
Sounds good to me!
End of cutscene.
Optional dialogue
This is even worse than I expected...
Look around Ok'hanu.
<sigh>
You heard about the storm? I've never seen the likes of it before.
With the supplies and help the Dawnservant sent, we're making progress repairing and rebuilding our homes...
But while rooves and walls can be patched, there is so much else that was lost for good...
<sigh>
Vantage point: (X:16.8, Y:11.9)
The gaping hole in the wall and missing portion of the roof are clearly the work of the storm's powerful winds. Repairs appear to be ongoing.
Optional dialogue
<sigh> What are we to do...?
Speak with Wuk Lamat.
A lot of houses are still damaged, and the Hanu I've spoken to are not their usual cheery selves. That storm broke more than wood and reeds.
There must be something I can do to help them...
I'm going to look around a bit more.
Optional dialogue
Some manner of boat?
Continue looking around Ok'hanu.
Bundled Reeds: (X:18.1, Y:10.8)
The dry and shrunken bundles suggest the reeds were harvested some time ago.
Boat of Woven Reeds: (X:19.5, Y:10.9)
Woven from reeds, this boat-like vessel is reminiscent of a bird. The beak and feathered tail in particular stand out.
Speak with Alphinaud. (Cutscene)
This boat must be woven from the same reeds I've seen gathered into bundles here and there. The plants hold both practical and cultural significance to the Hanu, then...
Hello, can you all hear me?
I'm told they're ready to receive us now. Come to the large building in the south of the village!
On my way!
We ought to hurry over, too.
Start of voiced cutscene.No sign of Zoraal Ja or that oversized lout.
How much easier it would be if Zoraal Ja were to fail here. But that isn't likely to happen...
Honored guests! I am Zanuhali, elder of the Hanu.
I am also an elector, charged with judging which among you is worthy of ascending the throne.
Without further ado, let us talk of the feat.
Not so fast! Surely you couldn't begin without us!
Ugh. He made it after all...
No need to fuss─there is no time limit for this challenge. Now, if you would allow me to proceed...
It is here, in Ok'hanu, where my people forged a bond with the Dawnservant during our own chapter of the Tuliyollal Saga.
In homage to those events, I have prepared for you the Feat of Reeds.
Reeds seem to be of great importance to the Hanu. I wonder what this feat entails...
We use reeds in every part of our lives, be it as food or weaving material.
But look around the nearby paddies, and you will see that this season, our crops are failing.
How fortunate, then, that my appointment to elector coincided with this predicament.
For surely, those who aspire to be Dawnservant would find the matter of an ailing harvest a mere trifle to resolve?
Aye, well, it is indeed the duty of a ruler to address the people's woes.
Exactly, exactly! Do well in this, and you will earn my keystone!
Why bother mucking about in the mud...when we can take the stone by force?
Oh, mercy me! You are a hot-headed fellow, Bakool Ja Ja!
Some electors may enjoy going toe-to-toe with scrappers like you, but I refuse to entertain your base instincts.
Arrangements have been made. Should you attempt to engage a feat-giver in combat without their consent, word of your immediate disqualification will be sent to the palace. If you're still feeling feisty, then by all means, draw your weapon.
Hmph, this contest is presided over by cowards. There's no sport in fighting you.
Then we can return to the business of earning my keystone.
The Feat of Reeds is begun! Claimants, I wish you the best of luck!
The clever kitty crossed the seas to study foreign novelties─he might know tricks we don't. Tricks we can use.
What of Little Miss Mittens?
Hah, you know the answer to that! Compared to the First and Second Promise, she's a distant Third. Not even in the running!
Then we see eye to eye on this, Brother. Being Bakool Ja Ja so long with me has rubbed off on you!
These allies of hers, though... They might be a problem.
Dammit, I'm just as qualified to be here as they are. I'll show them!
Easy now. There's no time limit, remember? Let's keep calm and think things through.
Right. You're right. I won't win against that lumbering vidraal by losing my head!
End of cutscene.
