"The Akadia Great Stone?"
Before you stands an immense frog-like creature. A gold ring around his neck and a huge curved blade at his side most certainly suggests he is the leader of this tribe of Akadai. <pb>As you approach him, his mouth snaps open and he gulps down a large volume of air, inflating his neck. Then, with a low croaking tone, he begins to speak. Although his words are formed with the strangest accent, you are able to understand them. "Huuuuuuman, why have you come here, to these lands? Why do you bring such death and warmongering to my kin?"

"I was sent here on a mission. I have come to collect your head!"
"My head? Why are you partaking on such a ridiculous quest, little huuuuman?"

"I am an explorer. Your Akadai attacked me first and I was merely protecting myself."
"Leave then, huuuuman. I wish not for war, and will allow you to leave this time with your life. Never return to these lands."

"It is not my intention to take innocent lives, but I am on a quest of great importance."
"Ah, now I see your intention. You have come for the great Akadai crystal. Yes, it is true that I anticipated this day would come, and with it the spectre of war."

"I must earn the trust of a Barrean warlord. I was told that bringing your head to him would be the only way."
The great Akadai pauses before gulping more air. "Aaahhhh, Alundar. You must be speaking of Alundar. His marauders once tried to take valuable herbs from our land without consent or compensation. My tribe attacked and sunk his ship. It was fair retribution."

"Yes, it is Alundar that I speak of."
"Huuuuuman, have you not dealt enough death to the Akadai? Killing me will only ensure complete genocide of our tribe." <pb>"If you end the ridiculous quest for my head, I will offer you soooooomething much greater."

"What would that be? I was told Alundar would only be content with your head."
"Huuuuuman, the Akadai possess something of great power, something coveted by many. We have a large crystal that was given to us by the wee-folk many generations ago. I know of the war ravaging this world now. These crystal stones are the reason for this conflict, and anyone possessing one will have a great advantage in this war. We Akadai have one of these crystals your people call the 'Crux'. I will grant you this stone if you end this foolish quest for my head. Alundar would surely find it a far greater gift."

"Wait...you are telling me that you have a Crux stone?!"
"Yes huuuuman. Many generations ago the wee-folk approached us and bestowed this gift, this responsibility, upon us. We were told to protect it at all cost, to never allow it to leave our lands until the last of us falls. On this day we have reached that condition, and so I offer this stone to you to spare the future of the Akadai tribe. We have no use for such a stone, and we do not wish for war to come to these lands."

"Yes, I accept your offer."
"Wise choice, huuuuuman. We keep the stone underground. It is protected by many guardians and I cannot command them to stand down. They will try to stop you." <pb>The great Akadai hands you a withered organic object strung on a simple looped cord. "Take this gland. It secretes Akadai pheromones. Wear it and travel west, to the tentacled plant in the salt lagoon. When you approach the plant, it will sense that you are an Akadai and allow you access to our underground. However, the gland will not protect you from what dwells within."

"Then we must see your quest to its conclusion, though I choose to not make it easy for you. Good luck, huuuuuman."

"What is the great Akadai crystal?"
"I believe your kind call it a Crux stone. These crystal stones are the reason for the conflict that echoes across the waters and brings darkness to the skies. It is known that anyone possessing one will have a great advantage in this war. I understand this is why you have come and brought death to my kin.

"Greetings Kingspawn. Do you have any advice for me?"
"I smell war in the air. It is carried over the seas, in ash and soot, which falls like black snow. Soon the Akadai will retreat underground and await the war to end. I do not know what you huuuuumans will do when the world is aflame."
