Hello there! Are you new to Ebonscale Reach? Yes, I think so!

There are many curiosities here - the flora, the fauna, the very elements themselves - I believe this territory is unique!

What makes it unique?

That's the question you can help answer! There are so many unanswered questions on Aeternum - it keeps me awake at night!

If we could just answer this one, I would be happy. What makes the Crimson Shallows crimson?

Why is this question so important?

Because it has perplexed me since I arrived as a stowaway on the Empress's ship.

This island's deep mysteries are best left to adventurers and scholars. Gather me the samples from the Shallows, and this one, I might solve!

I'll need plants from the area as well as samples from the fauna that eat them.

Thank you for assisting me in this endeavor.

Wow, that is a lot of samples! I can certainly find the common element.

I suspect it is an algae-like substance that, when exposed to heat, makes the Shallows red. We will soon find out!
