Guna Vanu wishes that he could choose his family.

— In-game description

Rewards

Unlocks

• 
  Aether Current

Steps

• Ask about Gunu Vanu's whereabouts.

• With the chat mode in Say, enter a phrase containing “Wake up!” to rouse Gunu Vanu.

Journal

• Guna Vanu wishes that he could choose his family.

• Guna Vanu tells you the tragic tale of his brother Gunu Vanu, who is on his way to being the only member of the Zundu to fail his rite of passage eight times. Another failure would ensure their family's place as a laughing stock in the tribe's history, and Guna Vanu begs you to help his brother pass his rite─but first you have to find him. Find out where he could be by asking the Vanu of Ok' Zundu for his whereabouts.

• You have asked about Gunu Vanu's whereabouts and it seems that he enjoys lazing about and shirking responsibility more than the average Vanu Vanu. He spends most of his time napping under a shade or in a warm sun beam. Once you find him, with the chat mode in Say, use your keyboard or the software keyboard to enter any phrase that includes the words “Wake up!” to rouse Gunu Vanu.

• Gunu Vanu wakes up in a panic─it was as entertaining as promised. He expresses joy and agreement at your offer to help him with the initiation rite, although it is still doubtful how much work he will actually do.

Dialogue

Accepting the Quest

Guna Vanu: Netherling's coming is fortuitous as late-season rains. Guna Vanu─and Guna Vanu's family─faces desperate times. His brother verges on failing Ok' Zundu's rite of passage─again! 
Guna Vanu: All Vanu Vanu in Ok' Zundu must undergo rite of passage for respect of others in tribe, otherwise no better than nestling! Brother fails trials seven times, must try for the eighth time soon. 
Guna Vanu: Eight times! No Vanu Vanu ever fails trial eight times. If brother fails again, gales of laughter from others in tribe shame family until day sun in sky no longer burns. 
Guna Vanu: Guna Vanu sees netherling help others like wind which brings seeds to bloom, and Guna Vanu would ask for his help as well. Rites of passage rules very strict, but Guna Vanu has plan. 
Guna Vanu: Rules forbid aid from other members of tribe, but say nothing of netherlings! Help my brother, and quell impending storm of derision our family faces. Brother's name is Gunu Vanu, and he roosts...
Guna Vanu: ...Ah, Guna Vanu knows not where. Brother's temperament changes faster than breeze in autumn. Ask other Vanu Vanu and seek him out, or Gunu Vanu stays nestling forever!
(Optional)
Guna Vanu: Gunu Vanu too lazy to go far from Ok' Zundu. Ask other Vanu Vanu to seek him out, help pass the rite of passage at last!

Asking about Gunu Vanu's whereabouts

Ganu Vali: Netherling seeks out Gunu Vanu? He is skilled at two things─finding shade for napping and running away when chief gives work. Newborn hatchling works harder than him.
(Optional) 
Ganu Vali: Look where breeze blows coolest and shade is deepest─Gunu Vanu dozes there.

Conu Vanu: Gunu Vanu never where he should be. While other Vanu work, Gunu Vanu soars like griffin in his dreams. Conu Vanu not see him since sunrise.

Hinu Vali: Netherling finds Gunu Vanu easily─look under every tree in village! Gunu Vanu follows shade as sunset follow sunrise. Say to Gunu Vanu “Wake up!”, and netherling come to know true meaning of panic.
(Optional)
Hinu Vali: Only thing Gunu Vanu good for is to laugh at─watch him fly into panic when you tell him “Wake up!”

With the chat mode in Say, enter a phrase containing 'Wake up!' to rouse Gunu Vanu (Cutscene)

Gunu Vanu: Gunu Vanu rests eyes, thinks of great offering to elder shaman... So much work, so sleepy... Shade not big enough for such great nestling...

System: Gunu Vanu needs a good talking to.
System: With the chat mode in Say, use your keyboard or the software keyboard to enter any phrase that includes the words "Wake up!" to rouse Gunu Vanu.

<Wake up!>

Cutscene start

Gunu Vanu: ...Ah! Gunu Vanu awake, yes, he is! Gunu Vanu works, works hard─ A netherling!? No wings, fleshy beak...not Vanu, certainly! Netherling should not sneak up on Vanu Vanu that slumbers, claws cut sharper than fierce gale.
Gunu Vanu: ...What? Gunu Vanu's brother sends netherling to help with rite of passage? 
Gunu Vanu: Gunu Vanu passes rite and is no longer a nestling!? Heavens shine on Gunu Vanu this day─worry of failing eight times weighs heavy on heart...
Gunu Vanu: ...But now with netherling's help, Gunu Vanu casts off weight and soars higher than any in Ok' Zundu imagines!
