What they say
On offering it
While I send someone for Malet and prepare dinner, I was curious if you could go retrieve something for me. I want to establish good ties with the Djesh, as doing so could mean much trade for myself and the Exchange as a whole. They are a powerful family with an array of trading routes. And much money. I would like to give them something. Now and then, something uncanny will fall through the Kaon portal outside of town. The guards reported a chest fell through earlier. Go retrieve it.

The parley
Quest Offering Veskal says, "While I send someone for Melet and prepare dinner, I was curious if you could go retrieve something for me. I want to establish good ties with the Djash, as doing so could mean much trade for myself and the Exchange as a whole. They are a powerful family with an array of trading routes. And much money." "I would like to give them something. Now and then, something uncanny will fall through the Kaon portal outside of town. The guards reported a chest fell through earlier. Go retrieve it." Ambassador of Kaon Quest Completion Veskel looks at the rune and says, "Perfect. This is a fitting gift for our guest." "You say there is corrupted out near the portal, waiting for me?" he asks, then snorts. "Doubtless, it is some sort of trap. I am surprised that she did not kill you. I will send guards to deal with her immediately." You begin to say, "She was very insistant. Perhaps you should..." Veskel frowns and says, "I am no fool. They have made more than one attempt on my life already. Now, be gone with you." You say, "I think this is unwise. Very well."

Notes
Head out of VE to the Kaon Portal, /loc -38896, -35662. As you approach, you will notice a chest and the Ambassador of Kaon nearby. When you try to click the chest, you will immediately be in a parley with the Ambassador. Per the notes below, this parley seems to usually be a Convince or Gossip . Once you win the parley, click the chest to receive the Kaon Focus Rune. Warning: When you try to click on the chest you instantly open up a parley with the Ambassador of Kaon that allows all but Reason. Make sure you build an appropriate deck BEFORE approaching the area! - (I'm reason based) When I did this, it was all but Inspire. (Serix of Targonor) Same with another Inspire race - all but Inspire. It appears to be geared to each player. Domestic Presence was not needed, although you are spammed with a message saying you need presence if you don't have it. You will also need between 55 and 100 Domestic presence. It was all but Inspire for me too (flattery-based). I got a "you dont have enough presence" message as i approached the portal. I hailed the ambassador and was offered a parley that required 75 soldier presence (despite the spam message). I then retrieved the Kaon focus rune from the crate after winning the parley. (Build 1778) I also got the 'not enough presence' spam and a parley from the Kaon ambassador requiring 75 soldier presence. The parley was a Convince, so fairly easy as I'm Reason based. Build 1792. I'm inspire based. It was a convince (no inspire), 75 soldier presence. Same spam, make sure to be ready.
