    This solo task is the first in a series of three. It begins with Historian Fjilnauk (click for map image) on Thuliasaur Island.

    Pre-Requisites for Requesting:
    - Minimum Level 95
    - Minimum apprehensive faction with The Kromtus

    Say "willing" to request the task.

    You say, 'Hail, Historian Fjilnauk'

    Historian Fjilnauk says 'Greetings to you, small one. It has been many years since we have been host to as many visitors as we are now. Though your arrival comes at a rather somber time, as our leader, the eldest of our tribe has just met his eternal rest at the hands of age. If you are [willing] to help us conduct a proper ceremony, I may have more work for you in the future.'

    You say, 'I am willing'

    Historian Fjilnauk gives you a brief explanation of Kromtus memorial customs.

    You have been assigned the task 'Honoring the Elders'.

    Historian Fjilnauk would like your help in honoring the passing of the last village elder. It seems that the Kromtus are reborn on this island should they fall in battle, but once they pass away of old age, their spirit is allowed to rest eternally.

    It is a memorial custom for the clan to arrange flowers in the ceremonial vases inside the houses in the village when the eldest of the clan passes on.

    Gather some Water Arums from the riverside just west of the village. Pick the red Ruby Asters that grow between the houses in the village. Pick the white Snowy Daffodils that grow along the outskirts of the village.

    Collect several Water Arums 0/3 (Thuliasaur Island)

    Collect several Ruby Asters 0/3 (Thuliasaur Island)

    Collect several Snowy Daffodils 0/3 (Thuliasaur Island)

    Water Arums are ground spawns along the northeastern part of the river. Ruby Asters and Snowy Daffodils are ground spawns in and directly south of the Kromtus village. They appear as small, thin flowers. If you have trouble spotting them, copy the above map locations into your map file.



    Place bouquets in the empty vases 0/3 (Thuliasaur Island)

    Hand in of each flower (3 each turn in) in three separate "ceremonial vases" (or wait the 100seconds) (can only do the turn-in if the vase is empty -- they reset after 100 seconds). These are not targetable. Simply act like you're handing in anything else and it'll work.
    If full you get "A ceremonial vase says "I have no need for this, Sonandso. You can have it back"
    Each house has at least one vase (sitting on a pedestal) - they look like part of the regular zone geometry, but you can hand them the items.




    Speak with Historian Fjilnauk 0/1 (Thuliasaur Island)

    Task Window Says: Speak to Historian Fjilnauk to let him know you have completed your duty in paying respects to the dead.

    You say, 'Hail, Historian Fjilnauk'

    Historian Fjilnauk bows his head in a moment of silence for the passing of the latest elder. He allows a few seconds to pass before opening his eyes and speaking to you, 'Thank you, small one. Your respect for our customs leads me to believe you are ready to help me with greater things. Return to me when you are ready.'

    Historian Fjilnauk is thankful for your help and is now interested in enlisting your assistance for greater tasks.


    Rewards:
    Faction with The Kromtus (+29)
    --AND--
    Tiny Parrot's Skull --OR-- 25 platinum

    This task is repeatable with a 6-hour lockout timer from the time of request.

    Place bouquets in the empty vases 0/3 (Thuliasaur Island)

    Hand in nine of the above items to objects called "ceremonial vase" (can only do the turn-in if the vase is empty -- they reset after 100 seconds). Each house has at least one vase (sitting on a pedestal) - they look like part of the regular zone geometry, but you can hand them the items


    Couple things
    - It's not handing in 9 items. It's one of each flower (3 each turn in) in three separate vases (or wait the 100seconds)
    - These are not targetable. Simply act like you're handing in anything else and it'll work.
    - If full you get "A ceremonial vase says "I have no need for this, Sonandso. You can have it back"
