You used to be able to journey to Alukina's Palace. The sea itself floated in the air!
Anair Lighthouse lit the path for Daevas to wing their way there.
Sadly, the Quartz Lens disappeared from the lighthouse and the way has been lost. It's heartbreaking, really.
Pirates. Only scum like that would sink so low.
They stole it and buried it in their den or some other hidden retreat.
If only we could find the lens... We're hampered by the fact that most of those pirates are long dead.
There might yet be a way. I've heard some rumors that might point you in the right direction.
Years ago, before ...well...before this was a frozen waste, [%dic:STR_DIC_N_Baugi] was a pirate. To his credit, he's worked hard to make up for it.
He might know something that could help. Ask Baugi about the lens--see what he knows.
Yes, it's true--I used to be a pirate. I was young and I needed the work.
It wasn't like a career. I never even bloodied my sword.
Mostly I swabbed decks and stayed out of everyone's way.
Quartz Lens...I heard rumors, but I never saw it myself.
If I had to name names, I'd bet that Captain Hinden was involved. He met a pirate's end, but I hear his spirit still gives orders...
Go to the shipwreck in Anair Harbor. If you can find [%dic:STR_DIC_M_UndeadDarkAsNamedDQ_38_An], you might find your next clue.
(This might be the one.)
(This time for sure.)
Dear [%username]!
As I saw the Anair Lighthouse shining brightly again, I knew you'd found the Quartz Lens.
You've really come through for me, [%username]. Wherever did you find the Quartz Lens?
That light-blasted Hinden! I told you pirates stole it!
Haha! Serves him right to linger as a ghost. All that mischief he caused....
Thanks to you, the way to Alukina's Palace is clear once more.

Order: The Quartz Lens of Anair Lighthouse used to light the way to Alukina's Palace. Meet Sleipnir and hear its story.
The Quartz Lens of Anair Lighthouse disappeared long ago, taking with it the way to Alukina's Palace. Sleipnir believed that pirates stole the Quartz Lens, and asked you to interrogate Baugi, a former pirate.
Baugi told you that Captain Hinden, a notorious pirate, was almost certainly the culprit and suggested you look for him. When you defeated the ghost of Captain Hinden, you found a letter with a clue to the location of the Quartz Lens. You found the Quartz Lens and re-lit the lighthouse, thrilling Sleipnir.
