You know about the Mau tribes here, right? No? Well, listen up.
We get along okay with the Silver Manes, but the Ice Claws and the Mist Manes hate us.
The Ice Claws are the strangest ones. They don't worship Balaur or ancestor-gods like normal Mau. They serve the Artifact Protector.
Yes, and they've been getting aggressive lately--raiding our settlements, stealing our food...you get the picture.
We need to push them back, and I think you're the Daeva to do it.
Go to the [%dic:STR_DIC_W_DF2_SUB_B1_1] and talk to [%dic:STR_DIC_N_Jorund]. He'll have a better idea how to deal with the Mau.
Centurion Nina sent you about the Ice Claw problem?
Well, I've got some plans. But there's something you'll need to do first.
Well, we need to deal with their leader, the Artifact Protector. But to get to him, you have to pass through an Aetheric Field.
To get through the Field, you have to perform a special rite.
You must slay the sacred [%dic:STR_DIC_M_DF2_NPC_DireBeastD_Q2034].
You'll have to lure it out.
First, go to the [%dic:STR_DIC_W_DF2_SUB_B3] and hunt the [%dic:STR_DIC_M_FethlotNmD_28_n]. Carve some meat from its flank.
Take the meat to the [%dic:STR_DIC_W_DF2_SUB_B3_2] and light the [%dic:STR_DIC_E_OBJ_DF2_FOBJ_Q2034] with this flint.
The smell of Abex meat roasting on the fire should lure out the [%dic:STR_DIC_M_DF2_NPC_DireBeastD_Q2034]. Once you've killed it, return to me.
Have you slain the [%dic:STR_DIC_M_DF2_NPC_DireBeastD_Q2034] yet?
You lost the flint?
Here, take another one.
You're back. Did you kill the White Brow Tayga?
Now you'll be able to enter the Aetheric Field and slay [%dic:STR_DIC_M_ArtifactGuardianQ_35_Ae].
The Aetheric Field is deep within the Mau village. The Statue of the Mau Protector there will pass you through if you bear the ceremonial title from defeating the Tayga. Then you can defeat [%dic:STR_DIC_M_ArtifactGuardianQ_35_Ae].
Take as much support as you can muster--there are far too many Mau in the village for one Daeva to fight alone.
When the Protector is dead, return to the fortress and report back to Centurion [%dic:STR_DIC_N_Nanna]. Blood for blood, [%username].
You're back. Does that mean you succeeded, or did you just give up?
Without their leader, the Mau shouldn't trouble us for a while.
The Brigade General wanted to see you. Report to him at once, Daeva.
You were responsible for the attack on Ice Claw Village. I want a full report.
Well done. You've done much to keep Morheim safe.
Take this reward, [%username]. May peace return to Morheim soon.
Talk with [%dic:STR_DIC_N_Nanna].
Talk with [%dic:STR_DIC_N_Jorund].
Make a fire in the [%dic:STR_DIC_E_OBJ_DF2_FOBJ_Q2034] at [%dic:STR_DIC_W_DF2_SUB_B3_2] to roast the [%dic:STR_DIC_I_QUEST_2034h] to lure out the [%dic:STR_DIC_M_DF2_NPC_DireBeastD_Q2034] and kill it.
Report the result to [%dic:STR_DIC_N_Jorund].
Use your new title to enter the Aetheric Field and dispatch [%dic:STR_DIC_M_ArtifactGuardianQ_35_Ae].
Report the result to [%dic:STR_DIC_N_Nanna].
Report the result to [%dic:STR_DIC_N_Aegir].
Get the details from Nina about dealing with the Ice Claw Mau.
Nina said the Ice Claw Mau must be pacified. Jorund told you to kill their leader, Guardian Karhel.
You passed the rite to enter the Guardian's Aetheric Field, fought your way to the heart of the Ice Claw Village, and slew him. The Brigade General himself rewarded you.
