Hail Pedram at the School of the Fourfold Path
Pedram
Hail, Adventurer. I'm Pedram, assistant to the Tams.
You say
You enter/say burnt bone chips
Game
"Pedram lifts his head from a swirl of dancing cinders, his expression serene."
Pedram
Ah...not mere ash.Not what you find in a hearth or the pit of pyre. You seek a flame that remembers.
Pedram
Campfire, torchlight, forge heat...these flames are bereft of soul, fed by the spent remnants of life. But elemental fire...it's fire that lives, fire that hungers. It's not kind.
You say
You enter/say where can I find elemental fire?
Pedram
Pedram smiles faintly, more reverant than pleased.
Pedram
Yes. Elemental fire is not tool. It's a presence...a spirit, if you will. It speaks in crackles and sizzles, and devours without pause.
Pedram
Many will call upon spirits for light, war, or spectacle. Few truly understand what they bind, and fewer still survive when the bond breaks...when reverence is forgotten, and fire takes back what it's owed.
Pedram
Pedram leans closer
Pedram
The bone chips you seek must be seared by such a fire. Not summoned, but enraged...by a fire spirit untethered.
You say
You enter/say where can i find an untethered fire spirit?
Pedram
Pedram lowers his voice, eyes reflecting a flicker of emotion.
Pedram
There is one. Bound long ago within an ancient crypt by rites of the dead. It was enslaved through force, not honor, and it burns still with fury unspent.
Pedram
Now it's surrounded by it's necromantic keepers, once masters of their craft, now minions to the very spirit they sought to command.
Pedram
It's flames do not simply consume, they rage...they scar. They mark bones with the burn you require.
Pedram
Pedram straightens and gestures towards the school's tall shelves.
Pedram
Before you go stumbling through ash and wrath, learn the tale. Seek the book titled Deference to the Flame; a Tale of Ash and Sorrow. It rests amongst the southern stacks, with our other teachings.
Pedram
May you find what you seek...and survive the meeting.

Collect 15 burnt bone chips

Recover Burnt Bone Chips in Ancient Crypt. Existing catalog research identifies charred acolytes from the fire-elemental ring event and Researcher Harseal as documented sources.

The quest page speculates about a flame elemental or Skyseer. The more specific acquisition research already in the catalog is preserved; the speculation is not a confirmed direct drop.

COLLECT Collect 15 Burnt Bone Chips from documented Ancient Crypt sources. 15 × Burnt Bone Chips · Ancient Crypt

Game
Presumably the elemental being referred to is either a flame elemental or the Skyseer in Ancient Crypt. To be confirmed. The book is in the bookcase to the left of the door to Pedram's room as you enter.

Prepare five blackened fish bones

The clue trail goes from a Fishwife in Saltbreeze Park to Jasmerin, then Chef Violyn at the Crimson Oasis near the North Gate. The recipe uses Flux and Fish Bones, or eight Fish Bones; it trivials at Cooking 5.
