Lore & Dialog

Pau Yajin tells you, "So you've already helped us investigate the three other Tanada temples! You are both brave and dedicated. I must ask your assistance as well, as my colleagues Sayuji Jina and Meshenq have already done."
Pau Yajin tells you, "I ask you to journey to the Tanada Temple of Black Water, in the swamp at 24.2 S, 57.1 E. There you must find the Tanada assassin known as the Master of the Depths. Slay him and bring me his jade medallion. I will need his medallion to be able to get to the bottom of the corruption of that clan of Tanada."

---

You give Pau Yajin Jade Medallion of the Depths.
Pau Yajin tells you, "You have done well to retrieve this medallion from the corrupted Master of Depths. You can see the corruption in the jade itself! What a terrible thing has happened to a once-noble House of Nanjou Shou-Jen. Our sources tell us that the key to the corruption of the Tanada can be found back at the Temple of Black Water. There is a Virindi Watcher there whose lair may be accessed through the Shrine of Black Water. Go back to the temple and use the shrine, and you should be able to find your way to the lair of the Watcher of Black Water..."

---

You feel a hot warmth wash over your entire body as the Shrine of Black Water seems to recognize you and pull you in...

---

You give Pau Yajin Mask of the Watcher of Black Water.
Pau Yajin tells you, "So it is done. The foul Virindi presence that has corrupted the Tanada has been rooted out. This will not save the souls of the Tanada who have already been corrupted, but at least we know what we are dealing with and can take appropriate steps. I am grateful for all the help you have given us."
You've earned 34,455,313 experience. (max reward)
Pau Yajin gives you Mask of the Depths.
Pau Yajin tells you, "If you don't need that mask, I'll take it back in exchange for practical training."
You give Pau Yajin Mask of the Depths.
Pau Yajin tells you, "Really? You're not interested in this lovely mask? Pity, I find it quite stylish. Still, if you don't want it..."
You've earned 6,891,063 experience. (max reward)

---

You allow Pau Yajin to examine your Black Water Watcher's Shard.
Pau Yajin tells you, "Ah, unfortunately, I cannot translate this... You may wish to bring it to Diyas al-Yat of Zaikhal for translation."

---

You give Diyas al-Yat Black Water Watcher's Shard.
Diyas al-Yat tells you, "Well, this is disturbing..."
Diyas al-Yat tells you, "These Tanada from the House of Water seem to have become the pawns of forces greater than themselves. Here, have a look for yourself."
Diyas al-Yat gives you Translated Black Water Watcher's Shard.

---

Pau Yajin tells you, "You've already resolved the situation at the Temple of Black Water for me. I can ask no more of you."
