Journal

Kal Myhk looks at you with a sense of unease.

The retelling of his brother's brush with death at the hands of men has left Kal Myhk conflicted. Though he has enjoyed your time together, he now wonders if you would have slain him had you met under different circumstances. Do what you can to /soothe him and cast aside his fearful thoughts.

You manage to calm down Kal Myhk. Though he will not deny what happened to his brother, you have helped him understand that not all men are evil. Freed from the burdens of fear and doubt, he wants to find a way to help his brother heal. He suggests speaking with his mother in the tower of Anyx Trine.

You speak with Gullinkambi hoping to find a method for rehabilitating dragons. She tells you that dragons have always followed the natural order of things. However, she also recalls a man who created drugs that proved effective in healing dragons. Records of his work may still exist somewhere in the Abalathai Foothills. Speak with Kal Myhk and discuss your next course of action.

Gullinkambi was not clear in where to find the records you need, but Kal Myhk believes he has seen the ruins she spoke of. Meet with him outside on the path up the mountain.

Following the path up the Abalathia Foothills, you find Kal Myhk where the path splits in opposite directions. He urges you upward, and moves ahead to make certain of where to go next. Take the path upward and search for Kal Myhk.

You find Kal Myhk further up the mountainside, and he says you are nearly there. Follow Kal Myhk up the narrow path once more.

You find Kal Myhk at the end of the path, but there is no sign of the ruins you seek. He tells you that, rather than climb up, you must now climb down the mountainside to a new path. Make your way down the mountainside and follow the path to find Kal Myhk.

You follow yet another path along the mountainside and find Kal Myhk standing before the ruins from his mother's story. Search the building for signs of the missing records.

You find a tablet amidst the rubble. The letters are faded, but you are certain it holds the information you need. Show Kal Myhk what you found.

You show the begrimed tablet to Kal Myhk, and he is excited to be one step closer to helping his brother. Return to Anyx Trine and show the tablet to his mother.

You present the tablet to Gullinkambi, and after briefly examining it, she confirms you have found the lost records. With the tablet in hand, you can at last grant succor to Kal Myhk's brother.

Dialogue

Accepting the quest

Kal Myhk

Tell me, Forename...what would have happened had we met under different circumstances? Would you have attacked me like those men attacked Brother?

<sigh> Perhaps that is better left unanswered. I doubt any answer could soothe my troubled mind...

/soothe Kal Myhk

Optional dialogue

Kal Myhk

Am I really any different from other creatures that have fallen at your hands?

Wh-What are you doing? Please, don't touch me!

Kal Myhk

You would still help us? After everything Brother said?

I was wrong to have doubted you. Not all men are the same. Some are cruel, like those who hurt my brother. But you are not like them.

And with your help, we will heal Brother, and he too will understand this.

Let us speak with Mother. She will know of a way to heal him.

Speak with Gullinkambi

Optional dialogue

Kal Myhk

I know nothing in the ways of healing, but Mother is sure to know.

Gullinkambi

Forename, Kal Myhk, you seem ill at ease. Tell me, what has happened?

...Attacked in Coerthas? He was warned not to venture near Ishgard. He pays for his disobedience in blood. Time may heal his wounds. Or it may not.

Ohl Ahs will sleep until he recovers, or he will sleep for eternity. Whatever is to become of his injuries, we do not interfere.

...However, if you are determined to seek the medicines of man, there may be a way.

Long ago, a man once labored to grant dragons succor. The fruits of his research may still linger, engraved upon stone. You must find the place he once called home. A hovel of rocks, high along the mountainside.

Kal Myhk

Thank you, Mother. We will find it.
