Shah-hi tells you, "You actually found and helped one of the four Sisters mentioned in the lore we've been researching? That's unbelievable."
Shah-hi tells you, "I have to relay this info to Popkin immediately. We'll have to begin looking for sites in the areas where the sacred materials were found."

You give Bretself the Translator Damaged Yalaini Tome.
Bretself the Translator tells you, "Well, what have we here? Where did you find this?"
You explain where you found the ancient tome.
Bretself the Translator tells you, "Fascinating. You know, this book isn't as old as its location may lead you to believe. This appears to be penned by one of the Adjanites, which were an order of Empyreans from Asheron's time, only a few thousand years ago. The story itself seems far older, though. She refers to it as coming from a Falatacot tribe. Very strange..."
Bretself the Translator tells you, "But I digress. You can see for yourself, and I won't keep you here any longer."
Bretself the Translator gives you The Sisters of Light.

You allow Shah-hi to examine your The Sisters of Light.
Shah-hi tells you, "The whole legend... this is an amazing find. You should take this to Popkin of the Gate, near Cragstone. She's the one collating all of the lore. She'll reward you well for this, I'm sure."
Shah-hi tells you, "I'm stuck here dealing with angry Gromnies and even angrier miners..."

You allow Popkin of the Gate to examine your The Sisters of Light.
Popkin of the Gate tells you, "Is that what I think it is?"
You hand over 1 of your The Sisters of Lights.
Popkin of the Gate tells you, "This is exactly what I was looking for!"
Popkin of the Gate tells you, "It's a much later period transcription of the lore we've been researching, so I'll need to crosscheck it against the older pieces in case the story evolved over time, but this still invaluable to our research here.
Popkin of the Gate tells you, "I hope this'll do for compensation for your skills and time. You've given us a great leap forward here."
You've earned 49,511,803 experience.
You've earned 5,299 Luminance.
Popkin of the Gate gives you Mana Forge Key.
