Journal
- M'zhet Tia is ready to reclaim what is rightfully his.
- Believing he has sufficiently recovered from his rigorous training session, M'zhet Tia prepares to go to the Peering Stones to confront M'rahz Nunh. He asks that you accompany him to bear witness to his victory.
- M'rahz Nunh agrees to duel. However, he insists on moving the battle to a ravine southeast of the Peering Stones. M'zhet consents and takes his leave of the camp. You follow him to the ravine and wait for the fight to begin.
- It seems M'rahz Nunh has come not to fight, but to talk. As he tells it, M'zhet Tia's father left the village of his own volition, staying close by to keep watch over his former tribe. When a herd of ravenous monsters came stampeding toward the Peering Stones, he sacrificed himself to stop the herd, leaving his son in the Ananta's care. The weight of this revelation has left M'zhet Tia bereft of the resolve to fight. What will he do now?
- Knowing of his father's selfless sacrifice has inspired M'zhet Tia. He soon makes for the Peering Stones to speak with M'rahz Nunh.
- M'zhet Tia wishes to rejoin the M tribe to someday carry on in his father's footsteps. Should he become nunh someday, he plans to once again challenge the friend and mentor who helped to reunite him with his people.
Dialogue
Accepting the Quest
M'zhet Tia: Those grenades took a toll on me, but I'm feeling much better. My ribs have taken on an unusual shade of purple, but I bet that means the training's working. M'zhet Tia: I couldn't have come this far without you, though. It's only proper that I ask you come and see me finally take down M'rahz. What do you say? M'zhet Tia: Thanks. You don't know how much this means to me. M'zhet Tia: Let's head to the Peering Stones, then. M'rahz won't know what hit him!
Speaking with M'rahz Nunh (Cutscene)
M'rahz Nunh: M'zhet. Have you come to challenge me once more for the title of nunh?
M'zhet Tia: I have. And this time I will defeat you!
M'rahz Nunh: Very well. Let us reconvene at the valley to the southeast.
M'zhet Tia: Reconvene? Are you afraid I'll shame you here in front of your people? M'zhet Tia: No matter. Well, it looks like we're heading to the valley.
Optional
M'rahz Nunh: I take it he's asked you to bear witness to our battle. Very well. Pray go to the valley southeast of here. I will be along shortly.
M'zhet Tia: Why are we fighting here of all places?
Waiting for M'rahz Nunh at the designated location
M'zhet Tia: There you are. I was beginning to think you wouldn't show. Your time as nunh of the M tribe ends today.
M'rahz Nunh: Before we begin, M'zhet, there's something you must know.
M'zhet Tia: What now?
M'rahz Nunh: A terrible tale told to me by the Vira. M'rahz Nunh: Twenty years ago, a Miqo'te of the M tribe traveling with child happened upon their people. M'rahz Nunh: He claimed to be a nunh who relinquished his title to avoid creating discord within the tribe. Though no longer one of them, he planned to watch over them from afar. M'rahz Nunh: One fateful day, the local wildlife were afflicted with a strange illness that drove them into a frenzy. M'rahz Nunh: It was as if they were possessed, forming a monstrous herd storming toward the Peering Stones. M'rahz Nunh: He could not stand idly by and watch his former home be destroyed. And so he chose to face the beasts alone, leaving his child in the Ananta's care. M'rahz Nunh: One after another the beasts fell as he drove them into a nearby cavern. Yet he would not escape unscathed, for one of the creatures struck him with poison that would soon turn him to stone. M'rahz Nunh: His limbs growing stiff, he used the last of his strength to collapse the cave entrance. The remaining crevice that would have allowed their escape was blocked by his cold, petrified flesh. M'rahz Nunh: That man was M'aht, your father. M'rahz Nunh: There are those who called him a coward for leaving, but in truth he was the bravest among us. M'rahz Nunh: Do you recall this blade? It has rested here ever since that fateful day your father gave his life to save us.
M'zhet Tia: My father's blade! So it's true, then... M'zhet Tia: I hated him for so long, I...
M'rahz Nunh: Be strong, M'zhet. You are your father's son, and one day you shall make a great nunh.
M'zhet Tia: Forgive me...
Speaking with M'zhet Tia
M'zhet Tia: My memories of childhood are hazy, but I do recall being taken to an Ananta village shortly after leaving the M tribe. M'zhet Tia: Now I know why he left me all those years ago. He was a hero to the bitter end, fighting to protect our people. M'zhet Tia: ... M'zhet Tia: And now I would protect them too. M'zhet Tia: I need to speak with M'rahz!
Speaking with M'rahz Nunh (Cutscene)
M'rahz Nunh: Ah, you are returned.
M'zhet Tia: M'rahz Nunh, I...I want to apologize for the disrespect I've shown you. You're not to blame for my father leaving. I realize that now.
M'rahz Nunh: You needn't apologize. We are men of the M tribe, it is only natural that we might quarrel in one way or another. M'rahz Nunh: Now that you know the truth, what will you do now?
M'zhet Tia: If you would have me, I wish to rejoin the M tribe. As a tia. M'zhet Tia: I will become stronger, and one day carry on in my father's footsteps. M'zhet Tia: By his blade, I swear it.
M'rahz Nunh: Very well. I welcome you once more as M'zhet Tia of the M tribe. Train hard, young one, and become the man I know your father believed you could be. M'rahz Nunh: I would also hold a memorial service to honor your father's sacrifice. We do not have his remains, but I pray his soul will at last be at peace.
M'zhet Tia: Thanks for all your help. M'zhet Tia: I might've never learned about my father if you hadn't showed up. M'zhet Tia: The next time we meet, you'll be addressing me as M'zhet Nunh. At least I hope so. I also expect a rematch for that first thrashing you gave me. M'zhet Tia: I should get going. I have to reintroduce myself to a lot of people. Till we meet again.
M'rahz Nunh: Words fail to express my gratitude, adventurer. M'rahz Nunh: He will make a fine nunh someday. When his time comes, I hope you will offer him support again as you did this day.
