Quest Description

Dori says that she has the latest update on the Akademiya Extravaganza. Why not go and hear it?

(Talk to Dori): Dori: Have you decided to buy information from me?; Paimon: Hmmm... Paimon's a little curious about your exclusive information, but we need to hear the price first! If it's too expensive, then forget it.; Dori: I'll sell it to you for the fixed price of one million Mora!; Paimon: That's a lot! Never mind, one million Mora can buy lots and lots of tasty food!; Dori: Wait a sec... Let me see... Eh? Paimon is customer number 1,001 for today. The original cost of the information was one million Mora, but for you the price is now free!; Paimon: Eh!? Paimon didn't knew such luck exists!; Paimon: Wait, you're not baiting us into spending, are you? Maybe the first sentence is free, but not the next sentence...; Dori: If you don't want it, fine! Next!; Paimon: Wait, wait, wait, forget what Paimon said. We'll listen!; Dori: Dori's exclusive scoop number one! Do you remember the Diadem of Knowledge?; Paimon: Paimon remembers that only the champion was entitled to wear the diadem. It seemed very valuable!; Dori: Exactly. The diadem that Sachin gave the Akademiya was a rather expensive antique.; Dori: Yet this very diadem, after it was donated to the Akademiya, was lost by them once before!; Paimon: Eh? Why didn't we hear about this?; Dori: Hehe... if everyone knew about this, would my information still be considered "exclusive"?; Dori: Of course, this information doesn't come from nowhere. I've got witnesses, too.; Dori: There's a young fellow named Kashmer from the suburbs. If you're interested in delving further, you could ask him.; Dori: The password is "that incident from twenty years ago"!

(Talk to Dori again): Dori: Is there anything else you want to know? If you want more information, you gotta pay extra!

"That Incident From Twenty Years Ago"

Kashmer: ... I guess I shouldn't have told anyone. Last time I had too much to drink and blabbered a little too much, and now people are seeking me out.

Kashmer: Since you're curious, I guess I'll tell you.

Kashmer: I was just six years old twenty years ago, so I can't remember clearly what happened at the time. But recently, I read the diary I kept when I was a child, and vaguely recalled the situation back then.

Kashmer: The Interdarshan Championship was also held that year. There were three rounds, the last of which was outside the city. I begged my mom to take me out of town to see it, and when she refused, I snuck out.

Paimon: And then?

Kashmer: I ended up getting lost outside the city. In the middle of nowhere, there was no one around. I grew more and more frightened and began to cry.

Kashmer: That's when I saw some strange creatures... I can't remember what they looked like. I only remember how, as a child, I stopped crying at the sight of them.

Paimon: Strange creatures... they must be...

(The Aranara.)

Kashmer: They took me to the competition. Unfortunately, by the time we got there, it was too late. It was already over.

Kashmer: Just when I was disheartened, I suddenly saw one of those strange creatures slowly dragging a crown along.

Kashmer: It was a beautiful crown, shining in the moonlight, and I could not help but follow it. I saw the little fellow hide the crown in a hollow tree before disappearing.

Kashmer: I wanted to touch that crown. But at the moment, I could hear the distant cries of my mother. It turns out, she figured out I was lost, and got her neighbors to go looking for me.

Kashmer: I never got to touch it. It wasn't until I was older, when I saw the "Diadem of Knowledge" at the Interdarshan Championship that I realized it was the same thing.

Paimon: Alright... do you remember where that diadem ended up?

Kashmer: It's probably in the Avidya Forest, but I've been back a few times, and I haven't found anything.

Kashmer: No one would believe me, even if I told them. Alas, even I can't remember it clearly. Perhaps, it was a dream I had when I was a child.

Paimon: Well... should we go look for it, (Traveler)?

(Talk to Kashmer again): Kashmer: What exactly happened back then?

Step Description

Is Kashmer's memory reliable? You might need something more concrete to get closer to the truth...

(Approach the marked area)

Paimon: There's a hole in the tree. It seems completely empty, and there's nothing in it...

Paimon: Eh? Wait! There's a note there!

Paimon: "The good Nara taught Arakasyapa how to read. Arakasyapa must protect the good Nara..."

Paimon: What's this supposed to mean?

(Quest ends)

(Interact with the note): (TravelerTraveler) (Faint traces of writing can be seen on the weathered note...); (TravelerTraveler) ("The good Nara taught Arakasyapa how to read. Arakasyapa must protect him...")

Trivia[]

The Traveler will still conclude that Kashmer was talking about the Aranara even if the Traveler has never met any Aranara.
