Dialogue

Ah, I recognize you from the Third Promise's entourage. You have my wholehearted thanks for taking part in the rite of succession—I myself am an attendant to the Dawn's Promise.
Hmm... Yes, perhaps I can entrust this to you.
The riddle inside that envelope was penned by the Second Promise himself. It's the first part of a treasure hunt he devised for his sister.
As I recall, she managed to solve the initial riddle, but gave up soon after that. I gather the clues were a little too challenging...
In time, we forgot all about it. Anyway, I was tidying my quarters the other day and stumbled across that envelope.
The treasure should still lie here within the city. If you're keen for a bit of sport, perhaps you'd like to try and decipher the Second Promise's words? The first riddle I gave you will point you in the right direction.
Should you choose to undertake this quest, know that guidance from the journal, duty list, and map will be limited. You will need to read the text carefully and decipher the clues to determine your course of action.
With any luck, the treasure should still be here in Tuliyollal. Refer to the first riddle for clues about the next location.

First Riddle
A great hall rests upon buried shells of old, where palm trees tower over sands gleaming gold.
You have found the second riddle. Refer back to it as necessary to find the designated location.
Second Riddle
Weathered planks creak, quietly guiding the way, to a verdant bed of green washed with sea spray.
You have found the final riddle. Refer back to it as necessary to find the designated location.
Final Riddle
A thoroughfare worn smooth speaks of journeys come to end—reason and resolve, set in stone, with duty contend.
You have found a green imitation ring. Report your success to the nostalgic attendant at Ek-wawya Plaza.
Welcome back. How did you fare?
Aha, this brings back memories. Many moons ago, the Second Promise had me accompany him to Bayside Bevy—the thought of shopping alone seemed to unnerve him... Anyway, this is what he bought that day.
He was incredibly fond of his sister. When she begged him to come up with this treasure hunt, he was more than happy to oblige.
And now they support one another as they strive for their ideals on behalf of Tuliyollal's future... Yes, I daresay this nation is in safe hands.
If I get the opportunity, I shall deliver this ring to the Second Promise. I can't help but wonder how he'd present it to his sister after all these years!
And with that, I take my leave. Thank you for unearthing this slumbering treasure—and the memories that came with it.
