Kirina of the Celestial Hand

Lore & Dialog
Kirina of the Celestial Hand tells you, "Greetings. My name is Kirina. It is my honor and duty to aid people who wish to join our Society to prove themselves and be properly initiated to our Society." Kirina of the Celestial Hand tells you, "Now, before I set you on such a path, you should learn more about the Societies. Go to Jondor Torgren in Zaikhal.  He is a scholar of the Arcanum who has shown a great deal of interest in the Societies, and can send you to learn more about all three Societies before you make a choice on one." Kirina of the Celestial Hand tells you, "It may seem odd that I would send you to learn about our rivals, but I have faith that you'll pick our Society after learning of all of them. After all, you're speaking to me now, aren't you?" Kirina of the Celestial Hand tells you, "Go, aid Jondor in his research and learn of the Societies. Once you have, return to me and I can set you to our initiation test.  Or, if it suits you after learning of the Societies, speak with one of the other recruiters.  We'll be sad to lose you, but I'd rather recruit knowledgeable initiates than to recruit initiates who have not learned of the Societies and are unhappy with their choice afterwards."

Kirina of the Celestial Hand tells you, "Greetings. My name is Kirina. It is my honor and duty to aid people who wish to join our Society to prove themselves and be properly initiated to our Society." Kirina of the Celestial Hand looks at some notes on a scroll. Kirina of the Celestial Hand tells you, "I see that you have aided Jondor Torgren in Zaikhal and met with our recruiter in Ayan Baqur to receive a copy of our manifesto." Kirina of the Celestial Hand tells you, "If you wish to join our Society, then I have a task for you, to prove your commitment. In the swamps of middle Osteth there is a cave.  In that cave is the entrance to the Corrupted Catacombs.  If you search around 23.9S, 54.1E, you should find the entrance." Kirina of the Celestial Hand tells you, "In those catacombs, you'll find a Corrupted Mana Shard. Retrieve the Shard and bring it to me, and your test will be complete." Kirina of the Celestial Hand tells you, "Be warned, once you have the Shard, it'll be rather unstable, and will last only an hour before it turns to dust. I'll cast a spell on you that will protect you from the corruption of the Shard.  I wouldn't recommend touching it without the protections." Kirina of the Celestial Hand chants briefly, and then touches your brow. Kirina of the Celestial Hand tells you, "There, you should now be able to carry the Corrupted Mana Shard safely."
