What they say
The parley
Quest Offering Lan Cho speaks with mild tones: "Juritor, the Ulvari, enemy of our Emperor and our people, have chosen the two families you have investigated to exact vengeance." "A shield protects our city from their incursions, but they have found some way to defeat that shield." "This is a time for Harmonious Action - heroism with no thought of reward." "Take up the sword Icho Sho, beloved of Vothdar the Valorous, and defend the families. Icho Sho will do the fighting - you will be the vessel." Lan Cho Puregrace Lan Cho speaks with mild tones: "Juritor, the Ulvari, enemy of our Emperor and our people, have chosen the two families you have investigated to exact vengance." "A shield protects our city from their incursions, but they have found some way to defeat that shield." "This is a time for Harmonious Action - heroism with no thought of reward." "Take up the sword Icho Sho, beloved of Vothdar the Valorous, and defend the families. Icho Sho will do the fighting - you will be the vessel." You ask, "An intelligent sword? Does it speak?" Lan Cho says, "Yes, it can speak, but it uses an older dialect of our language, being a relic of an older time when the kini was in common use." Lan Cho continues, "It is actually one of a hundred swords of the same name, scattered here and there about the islands. They have been wielded by emperors and rogues, heros and villains." You say, "The sword feels like it is fighting me." A voice from the sword says, "I fight best when you let me direct you, <name>." Lan Cho agrees, "Listen to the sword, Juritor. No matter what your skill with a sword is, I guarantee you that Icho Sho will fight better." Lan Cho listens for a moment, then says, "Also, Icho Sho reminds us that he will only fight a single foe - in this case the Ulvari soldiers that threaten the Sixfish and Seadragon families." You ask, "So the powers of the sword will not help me if I wield it against someone else?" Icho Sho and Lan Cho both say, "Correct." Lan Cho adds, "Also, Icho Sho will return to me when you have finished the task. He is needed elsewhere when you are finished." Icho Sho says, "No hard feelings, <name>. It is an honor to fight with one who walks on the Way of Harmony. With my aid, we will show the world the meaning of Harmonious Action." Lan Cho says, "And in the end, the families Sixfish and Seadragon will prosper despite their pains." Quest Completion Lan Cho says: "You have the blood of the dream warriors on you. Now that you have stepped into the realm of the Dream War, you will need to speak with the House Aurora and their Voices." "In order to speak with the Aurora, you must be grounded in the culture and history of our people." "It is time for you to learn our poetry, a potent source of power and wisdom to those who learn to write the kini script and use it properly." " This is Harmonious Effort in the making, acting in such a way to bring about greater harmony of the Kojani people."

Notes
Chat with Lan Cho Puregrace and she will give you a magical talking sword, Icho Sho . Equip the sword and head to the beach near the Sixfish family home. Slay twenty Ulvari. (Don't worry... the sword does all the killing no matter your fighting skill. You can't lose unless you try. They only appear when the sword is equipped.) Return to Lan Cho to collect your reward.
