Uhlant's Treachery

@PC_NAME(0)! Over here! I'm Nodar, apprentice to the Sage of Roads. Are you ready for your mission?

Now that introductions are complete, you must have questions. Please. Speak freely.

You're damn right I have questions. How long have the Shatigon Priests been following me? Did you know Uhlant was a snake creature? What did he want? And why didn't you let me in on your plan?

Rammstein, apprentice to the Sage of Silver, works closely with the Temple of Shatigon. I believe you met him the day you first arrived there. It was his agents that tracked your progress on this quest, informing him of your movements.

As for Uhlant, I swear to you: no one knew of his true nature. How a Naga rose to such heights in the temple is a mystery that I eagerly desire answers to.

We believe it was Uhlant's influence which led the Astras to ally themselves with the Gorgons. I suspect he hoped it would destabilize the region, buying him time to continue his search for Mikael Ynga's laboratory.

Uhlant and his kind worship the Akasch: an ancient race of serpents, imprisoned thousands of years ago. We can only assume he hoped to use Mikael Ynga's research to go back in time and prevent the Akasch's downfall.

The other sages and I have many questions regarding YOUR involvement with Ynga. But first, we have a mission for you. Take this |nn;teleporter|r; it will transport you to my apprentice, Nodar. He'll explain when you get there.
