“The wandering minstrel wishes to hear all about how you raged against the machine.
— In-game description
Rewards
- Unlocks
Steps
- Speak with Redbrix in the Makers' Quarter.
Journal
- The wandering minstrel wishes to hear all about how you raged against the machine.
- Inspired by your battle against the colossus, the minstrel launches into song once more, portraying your trials and tribulations in the Dravanian hinterlands in predictably hyperbolic fashion. Make your way along the shores of the Thaliak and discuss your recollections of the event with Redbrix.
- Whether it be through the gift of the Echo, the power of the poet's verse, or a combination of the two, it would seem that you can now relive your exploration of Gordias. Though you are generally loath to look back, it is not impossible that stepping into the past may be of benefit to you in the future.
- ※Gordias (Savage) may be accessed via the Duty Finder.
Dialogue
Talk to Wandering Minstrel in Mor Dhona (Accepting the Quest)
Wandering Minstrel: The whispering winds bear tales of an adventurer's derring-do unto mine insatiable ears. Wandering Minstrel: But one episode in particular whetted mine appetite. Did you perchance encounter a colossus of steam and steel in Dravania? Wandering Minstrel: Ahhh, so it is true. Pray speak on then, friend. I would hear more of your trials and tribulations within the towering automaton. Wandering Minstrel: ...A god born of goblin prayer? A citadel upon legs whose very life spelled death to all without? How...how marvelous! Wandering Minstrel: My muse stirs at the mention of such wonders...and moves me to song! Hearken now unto your own tale, brave hero!
(A Song of Steam and Steel...) O friends far and near, I challenge you all,♪ To think of a marvel so strange or so tall,♪ A steely skinned giant whose veins coursed with steam,♪ In whose bright burnished bosom foul goblins did scheme,♪ A heaven to they who therein did dwell,♪ But one whose mere being made all else a hell.♪ Forsooth, he could not well be left to abide,♪ So into his huge hand a hero did stride,♪ And battled through legions to reach his hard heart,♪ Conspiring at last to rend it apart.♪ His core being no more, the giant fell still,♪ Though the goblins remained there to plot further ill...♪
Wandering Minstrel: Ahhh, my muse has left me... But tell me true─did I capture the essence of your journey? Wandering Minstrel: Well, a poet must change one or two details for dramatic effect. A ballad should rouse its audience, not send them to sleep, after all. Wandering Minstrel: Pray accept my humble verse into your heart. Songs give the listener fresh eyes to see, and mayhap mine own will allow you to look upon your deeds anew...
Talk to Redbrix
Redbrix: Pssshkohhh... Uplander wants to go inside? Is curiosity not sated? Redbrix will give guidance, but beware that giant is sleeping─not dead!
(System) Thanks to the poetical outpourings of the wandering minstrel, you can now relive your foray into Gordias.
