Progress

I... I can't believe it...

Completion

You killed Athissa, <name>.

That is to say, you and... and my people...

My people... they fought for us...

But, Warlord Parjesh has escaped through the portal with the Tidestone. You must pursue him and retrieve the Pillar of Creation.

Notes

Prince Farondis says: The naga will not wait long before turning the Tidestone against us We should make haste.

Athissa says: Parjesh! Rally the rest of our forces. I shall make short work of this minor introduction.

Warlord Parjesh says: It will be done, Tidemistress.

Athissa yells: Hatecoil! Seize them!

Naga rise to attack, but the Nightwatchers arrive to meet them in battle.

Nightwatcher Thaldrys yells: Look alive, nightwatchers! Our prince needs us!

Upon Athissa's death, several of the naga flee.
