The Prodigal Apprentice

Speak with Greineich Trihn and Hafeez al'Azzimat at the Beacon on behalf of Iksal Wedjejeh. If Hafeeze seems forgiving, also ask him for money and use it to to pay off Iskal's debt with Rochara. - Pay off Rochara - Seek Out Greineich's Support - Speak Iskal's Case with Hafeez

Iskal half smiles at you and says, "I am an apprentice of Hafeez al'Azzimat. His star pupil, in fact. But a few weeks ago I felt the need to get away. I didn't mean to go as long as I have, nor to acrue some of the debts that I have, and now I am not so sure he will take me back. I have nothing left though. I need his forgiveness." "Will you go and speak to him on my behalf? If you speak to Greineich, she may also talk to him for me... Maybe." He sighs. "And maybe you could ask him for coin for my debt?

Iksal Wedjejeh
Quest Offering Iskal half smiles at you and says, “I am an apprentice of Hafeez al’Azzimat. His star pupil. But a few weeks ago, I felt the need to get away. I didn’t mean to go as long as I have, not to accrue some of the debts that I have, and now I am not so sure he will take me back. I have nothing left though. I need his forgiveness.” “Will you go and speak to him on my behalf? If you speak to Greineich, she may also talk to him for me... Maybe.” He sighs. “And maybe you could ask him for coin for my debt?” Greinech Trihn You say, “Greineich, are you a friend of Iksal Wedjejeh?” “Friend?” she asks you, arching an eyebrow. “I suppose that would depend on your definition.” “Elves and humans are not often friends in any normal sense,” you say, “but he seemed to count you an ally.” What might be a smile passes over Greineich’s lips. “Allies, yes,” she says. “We are certainly that.” You say, “It is strange to find an elf so far from home. I imagine you need allies.” She nods slowly. “I am much [indebted] to Master Hafeez,” she says, “and to the others here for their... understanding. Though not all are.” “Why come here then?” you ask. “The Dark Academy would not take me,” she says, frowning. “My blood was not worthy.” “You seem capable though,” you say. “What is considered capable by my people may not be by all,” she says. “I am not nearly ruthless enough for Hathor Zhi.” You chuckle. “That sounds appropriate,” you say. “Now, you[r] friend, or... ally. He needs your help.” “Iksal? Asking for help?” she asks. “How uncommon.” “You can imagine that he must need it then,” you ask. “Yes,” she admits. “What does he need?” “For you to talk to Hafeez,” you say. “To plead his case.” She chuckles. “Hafeez is angry with him,” she says. “Very angry. But he cares about Iksal, very much. He can probably be brought around.” Hafeez al’Azzimat You say, “Hafeez, do you have a moment to talk with me?” Hafeez nods and asks, “What is it that you need?” “I am here on the request of another,” you say. “Your apprentice, Iksal.” Hafeez’s expression darkens. “Iksal,” he says, “what could he want?” You say, “For you to take him back in.” Hafeez lets out a snort. “And why should I do that?” he asks. “So he can run away again with money I have given him and waste it all?” “So that I can worry over him as he has a fine time?” asks Hafeez. “There is too much at stake here for me to be concerned over a reckless young man.” You say, “Iksal has changed though. He has seen the ruin that come of his carefree ways.” Hafeeze says, “I will believe it when I see it...” “But if you do not let him return, how will you see it?” you ask. Hafeeze shrugs. You say, “I suggest a trial. To see if he has really changed.” “A probationary period, you mean?” asks Hafeez curiously. You nod and say, “Give him a chance to prove himself. If he fails, turn him back out.” Hafeez nods slowly and says, “That is... sound.” “There is one more thing though,” you say. “Oh?” asks Hafeez with a chuckle. “He needs money to settle a debt.” you say. “And then he will be free.” Hafeez lets out a long sigh and says, “Very well. He shall have the coin he needs, and a second chance. But only because he is the most talented individual I have ever met.” “And for all that I might have done with my life,” he says, “I think my true legacy may be having fostered him.” Quest Completion Iskal asks eagerly, “So you’ve managed to convince him?” He sobers slightly. “I have to admit... I am impressed.” Thank you for this, <Name>. It will not be forgotten.” He looks very serious. “I must try to take a different course from here on out. No more gambling, long nights, drinking...” You notice him glance at the bar. “Though there may be room for one last drink.”
