Royal Guard Qumasha tells you, "Ah! Perhaps you can help me. The Queen has asked me to find out all I can about how Varicci crafted that terrible weapon, Heartbreaker. Regardless of your background or political affiliation, I hope you can appreciate how much of a menace Varicci poses. Please journey to the Viamontian Esper Mine at 72.2 N, 3.0 E and see if you can get the gem that the mine's commander carries. I should be able to use that to forge a portal gem into the heart of Varicci's research operation."
