“Mablu is minded to rush ahead to the village.
— In-game description
Steps
- Speak with Mablu.
- Speak with Wuk Lamat.
- Speak with Wuk Lamat outside Xbalyav Ty'e.
Journal
- Mablu is minded to rush ahead to the village.
- Mindful of Wuk Lamat's exhausted state, Mablu offers to run ahead to the village and put on a pot of revitalizing mate tea. The others adopt a slower pace for the sake of the weakened Third Promise, leaving you free to lend Mablu a hand with teatime preparations.
- Wuk Lamat is feeling much recovered after her cup of tea, and confesses a newfound fondness for alpacas. As if on cue, Tobli arrives to inspect her captured beast, and declares that the Third Promise has met the requirements for accomplishing the Feat of Gold. When Wuk Lamat expresses her feelings of inferiority, however, the head ledger is prompted to share the story of Gulool Ja Ja's own visit to Wachunpelo many years ago, which culminated in the liberation of the Pelupelu from the Yok Huy.
- Following this recitation, Tobli proceeds to award Wuk Lamat her keystone, urging her to be proud of her achievements in both the valley and the village itself. Mablu, grateful to Wuk Lamat for her encouragement, then announces to Tobli her desire to leave the ranch and take up the merchant profession─a desire which her adoptive father wholeheartedly endorses.
- As you make to depart for Tuliyollal, Mablu suggests you speak with the Yok Huy about the legend of the golden city. According to local history, the giants once commanded the Pelupelu to search for the fabled metropolis. The revelations continue, as Mablu also recognizes Krile's earring, and offers to look into the origin of the jewelry which has long been worn as a charm of safe travel in Tural. After thanking her new Pelupelu friends for their advice and hospitality, Wuk Lamat sets her sights on the road back to the city.
- Although still uncertain of her adequacy as a Promise, Wuk Lamat is nevertheless pleased to have accomplished the Feat of Gold. She puts aside her self-doubt for the time being and leads your entourage back to Xbalyav Ty'e in Tuliyollal.
- Now back in her home city, Wuk Lamat has regained her characteristic optimism. Hoping to maintain your momentum, you prepare to embark on the next stage of the contest.
Dialogue
Accepting the quest
Wuk Lamat still seems a bit unsteady on her feet. Hardly surprising after she spent the night chasing alpacas. You know what will melt away fatigue like magic, though? Mate tea!
I'll run to the ranch and get a pot brewing. That way you can take your time, and the tea will be ready when you arrive!
As Mablu so wisely suggested, we shall set a slower pace for our exhausted Third Promise.
Speak with Mablu. (Cutscene)
Came back ahead of the others, did you? I should hurry along with the tea, then─Wuk Lamat can't be that far behind!
Start of cutscene.Ooh, that tea really is magical─I feel better already!
I see you've become more comfortable around our fuzzy friends.
Watching this one taught me a lot about alpacas. What grasses and fruits they eat, what sounds they react to, their adorable little quirks...
I guess I've grown kind of fond of them!
Welcome back, Third Promise. Accomplished the Feat of Gold, have you?
Hm, yes, there is no mistaking a valley alpaca.
I commend you on your success. Well done!
Yes, we did it!
...Although I couldn't find a shiny one like Zoraal Ja did.
I'd be surprised if you had! Golden alpacas are born but once every few decades. They are elusive, solitary creatures that are rarely seen─much less captured─thanks to their innate physical and magical gifts.
Only a single other person is known to have caught one before─that being Gulool Ja Ja himself.
Papa was chasing alpacas, too!?
So my grandfather's stories say.
It was before the founding of Tuliyollal, in a time when the mountain giants─the Yok Huy─held our people in thrall.
Compelled by their overlords, our forebears would ride their alpaca mounts to the highlands to deliver gifts of food and other tributes. Those were wretched days, to hear Grandfather tell it.
Then along came the young Gulool Ja Ja, yet unburdened by the mantle of Dawnservant.
Our people were amazed by this imposing two-headed figure, equal to the Yok Huy in stature, and puzzled by his entourage of mismatched companions.
Some trembled in fear, believing a new conqueror had come.
Yet Gulool Ja Ja showed no such inclinations. He sat and spoke with us, sipping from the cups of mate tea we offered him, and grew somber when he learned of our plight.
None could have anticipated what their visitor decided to do next! Gulool Ja Ja ascended the cliffs to face the giants and freed the Pelupelu from the Yok Huy's subjugation!
He then turned an appraising eye upon our riders and proposed we take to the road to peddle our beverages. The suggestion seemed obvious for one who traveled as he did, intent on fostering amity between the clans.
So it was that a few words from Gulool Ja Ja transformed us into a clan of itinerant merchants.
I've never heard the bond Papa forged with the Pelupelu spoken of in that way before. The saga is not so detailed.
Then you may not know that Gulool Ja Ja sought a sure-footed guide for his trek up into the highlands. Thus did he capture a golden alpaca.
So both my brother and my father caught the rarest of creatures...
...while an ordinary one was the best I could manage!
The feat required no more than that, Third Promise. And you brought back a perfectly wonderful beast!
Mablu's right. You're a perfectly wonderful beast. If anyone's ordinary, it's me...
Not only did you accomplish the Feat of Gold, you also made many trades and brought joy to many people in true Pelupelu fashion. I sorely doubt your sibling could have achieved the same result.
You should be proud of the accomplishments which earned you your keystone.
If this is the first keystone
If this is the second keystone
Five more to go!
You're well on your way, Third Promise!
We'd have been lost without you, Mablu. Thanks to you, I learned so much about the Pelu people and your customs.
It might seem obvious, but I've come to realize the importance of properly knowing something. It was because I didn't understand alpacas that I was uncomfortable around them.
I'm thankful to you as well, Wuk Lamat. You've given me the courage to say what I wasn't sure I could ever say!
Tobli... I want to leave the ranch and become a merchant!
I appreciate everything you've done for me, and I've loved every moment caring for the alpacas.
But this is something I need to do! I need to walk my own path, and make my own trades!
As your parent, allow me to say one thing.
I've always tried to give my wards lives filled with as much happiness as I could provide. Yet never once have I wanted that to be the only happiness you knew.
You have my blessing to walk any path you choose, Mablu. It gladdens me to hear you've found a calling you wish to pursue with such passion. You will make an exceptional peddler, I'm sure of it.
Thank you, Tobli...
What did I tell you, Mablu!
There's one last thing I can help you with, Third Promise. You need to find the golden city, right?
That's the end goal...
Then I suggest you talk to the Yok Huy.
They once ruled over far more than just Urqopacha and the Pelupelu. A thousand years ago, they were the overlords of Yok Tural and all its peoples.
During that era, the Pelupelu were commanded to search for a city of gold.
They scoured every corner of the continent, but never found any trace of that fabled place.
But...if they didn't find anything, what could the Yok Huy have to tell us?
They may not have found it...but the fact that they thought to look for it at all makes me curious. Perhaps there's value in delving into how the legend originated?
We lose nothing from asking the question. Besides, if we're determined to follow the path of the saga...
...we'll be visiting the giants eventually.
Oh, Krile. I have a question I'd been meaning to ask, and since we've finished with the feat─where did you acquire that earring?
My earring? Do you recognize it?
Yes, pieces just like it first became fashionable in Yok Tural around twenty years ago. Since then, it's become common to wear one as a charm for safe travel.
Twenty years ago─right about the time my grandfather made his journey. Yet the Dawnservant implied the earring was connected to the golden city in some way. Surely there was more to its significance than simple fashion...
If you want to know how it first came to be crafted, I could try to find out. Seeing as it's a regular seller for many merchants, I'm curious to learn about it myself!
I would appreciate that very much, thank you.
Jumping feetfirst into the peddler business, eh, Mablu?
If this is the first keystone
Right then, let's head back to Tuliyollal and get ready to search for the next elector!
If this is the second keystone
Right then, that's two keystones down. I say we head back to Tuliyollal and plan our next move!
Farewell for now, and thanks for all your help! I will become Dawnservant, so make sure you set aside your best mezcal for the occasion!
She has a fearsome opponent in that brother of hers. He even brought a golden alpaca to heel.
But you've heard Zoraal Ja's supporters talk. They might see opportunity in his expansionist ambitions, but they find the man himself intimidating. Terrifying, even.
Whereas I've grown to love Wuk Lamat! Everyone she meets will come to love her, too, and that's why she'll win the throne!
You might be right, Mablu. You might be right.
End of cutscene.
Optional dialogue
The Yok Huy once ruled the entirety of Yok Tural. I'm curious to see what has become of them.
I expected as much from the moment I saw him, but winning the contest against Zoraal Ja will not be easy.
I never dared hope we would find a lead for this earring mystery so quickly.
If this is the first keystone
Four-legged troubles aside, Wuk Lamat completed the feat and earned a keystone. That's all that matters.
If this is the second keystone
That makes two out of seven keystones... So far, so good.
Speak with Wuk Lamat.
It feels good to have the Feat of Gold safely under our belt...even if my victory pales beside Zoraal Ja and his shiny golden alpaca.
I know I shouldn't let it bother me, and gods know you've all been so supportive, but I want to be strong─or wise─like my brothers. To be a Promise that people respect.
...Which is not likely if I stand here carrying on and on about things! Let's move on!
Back to Xbalyav Ty'e with us─the contest has hardly begun!
Optional dialogue
If this is the first keystone
I've heard there are hot springs in Urqopacha. Mayhap, time permitting...
The Pelu remind me of Lalafell, never letting their size slow them down or hold them back. They move at their own pace, making their textiles and mezcal, and raise alpacas to bear them to market.
Neither Koana nor Bakool Ja Ja appeared to be in Wachunpelo... I imagine they're around somewhere, making progress even as we are.
A golden alpaca... Alone, I may have tried to track the beast myself.
Xbalyav Ty'e is truly a wonder of the culinarian world.
If this is the second keystone
I've heard there are hot springs in Urqopacha. Mayhap, time permitting...
I have not forgotten our obligations to Wuk Lamat, of course. Having immersed ourselves in the cultures of others, though, my anticipation for the new experiences this adventure will bring us has only grown.
The Pelu remind me of Lalafell, never letting their size slow them down or hold them back. They move at their own pace, making their textiles and mezcal, and raise alpacas to bear them to market.
Idle musings aside, we've made a good start on these challenges. Hopefully we can keep it up.
Neither Koana nor Bakool Ja Ja appeared to be in Wachunpelo... I imagine they're around somewhere, making progress even as we are.
Yet in a contest like this one, 'tis only a matter of time until the claimants are pitted against each other in direct competition.
A golden alpaca... Alone, I may have tried to track the beast myself.
...Traveling with so large and diverse a group is...unfamiliar to me. If she could see me now...
Speak with Wuk Lamat outside Xbalyav Ty'e.
If this is the first keystone
And just like that, we found an elector and won our first keystone. I knew I was right to trust your instincts!
Come on! Let's keep things moving, and march onwards to Kozama'uka!
Chances are good we'll find an elector there as well. Before we do anything, however, we should see what your patient Hanu friend has to say.
