take a portion of your Keh to make these dead ashes burn once more. My keh is
now strong and I might be able to help you in return for the service you have
done me."
"The humans discovered ancient Empyrean gems in the days before the
Golden Age. These artifacts could erase abilities and grant new ones to those
who used them. The humans studied these gems for many years and found new uses
for them."
"The auta retrieved many of these gems and fractured them, using
them to grant abilities to their soldiers and constructs. If you bring me a
sliver of one of these gems, I can imbue it with my essence. If you can find one
of the artifacts the humans built for these gems, it may be of use to you."

summoned here as well, but escaped the Archon's clutches before they could cast
the wards on his spirit that would have forever bound him here. I can sense him
wandering where the Olthoi have reappeared on Dereth, his spirit driven to force
them back."

"Thank you. I canna thank you enough. My
last thoughts, as I fell to the earth, had been of her. I had thought that if I
couldna be with her in life, at least I would eventually be with her in death.
Now it seems this accursed land has found a way to even deny us of that. She
remains trapped and i canna leave these lands while the Olthoi still threaten
them."
"But even a message might be enough to tide us over as we endure this
unnatural life. Take my love back to her. And if the Three Mothers smile on us,
tell her that we'll be together again some day."

Elysa Strathelar tells you,
"You have carried my message to Thorsten.
Thank you. Now i can try to provide a reward befitting the service you have done
me. In the days of my rule, Empyrean gems were discovered that would allow the
user to un-learn abilities and instantly learn new ones."
"There were even
some found that could change the body's very mental and physical makeup. The
Archons found a horde of these gems and broke them up, using them to strengthen
their minions.
"Ciandra, a wise scholar, studied these objects for many long
years, thinking them the key to giving us all powers akin to those possessed by
Asheron's people. I never saw the fruit of her labors in my lifetime, but it is
possible an artifac from her research still survives."
"If you have a
Fragment of Enlightenment, I can imbue it with my essence. Combined with other
gem pieces, it is possible that you coud create what the Sho people called a
Boju Gem, and transcend our normal mortal limitations."
Find a Fragment of Enlightenment, and return it to Elysa Strathelar to be imbued. These can be found from looting (Bloodstone,Oozing Bloodstone, Seeping Bloodstone or Weeping Bloodstone) Bloodstones, these drop all three types needed for this quest Sliver, Shard and Fragment of Enlightenment.
