The Adventurer and the Grusim

When Vixon finally found the right stall in the Shadow Veil Pass, the sun had already set and Vespera had just begun closing up her shop for the night. The two friends greeted one another warmly and got to work, tucking wares away under thick blanket cushioning and carefully boxing them away. 

They chatted comfortably, just catching up as old friends do. "I just returned yesterday from the Harmonic Heartwoods. My crew discovered the Ancient Grove and the Goopper Grotto there! Evolving minimals, can you believe that?" Vespera asked.

"I would never have imagined! I did hear about a flaming rune from an adventurer traveling the Flamefall Cascades... But I never imagined that I would happen upon more paintings there too!" Vixon filled Vespera in on his recent exploits with the scorching opening, the suggestive shadows on the walls, and the large manticore being tamed by a human sprinkling dust in the paintings in the cavern.

Vespera listened quietly and when he finished, she paused. "Goodness, it sounds like you have found the lair of the Grusim!" She recalled a story from her travels...

Once upon a time, mythical lion-cat beasts appeared across Santae. They were ferocious beasts that slayed whatever they pleased and wreaked havoc across the lands. One day, an Adventurer from a distant land confronted one of the creatures armed with a beautiful, shining dust. The Adventurer's magical dust seemed to make the creature much friendlier and the two became friends. The Adventurer taught others about the dust and how to create it. The dust allowed the humans to tame the beasts and they became known as Grusims. Humans and Grusims had a symbiotic relationship but after a time, Grusims faded from existence. The Adventurer passed away and their Grusim disappeared into an unknown lair, in despair and mourning for its friend. As the world forgot about the Grusims, the knowledge of how the dust was created was also forgotten. It is rumored that once the Adventurer's Grusim returns, it will signify the return of all Grusims to Santae. 

"Until a few months ago! I heard from a trader that there is a way to create something that he called sanDust. He described it as a sparkling blue dust. SanDust is its own element that is created by a concentration of adventurer energy! I'm sure sanDust is the key to solving this puzzle! If adventurers across Santae concentrate their energy and generate a massive amount of sanDust, I am sure we can lure the Grusim out of its lair!" Vespera explained.

Vixon paused. The tale sounded farfetched, but so did the stories about the Harlowins, and he had helped to find those! This was very much the same. The task at hand seemed daunting, but Vixon knew that the adventurer spirit was strong across Santae, and that he would be able to call on his fellow adventurers in the coming days to bring Grusims back to Santae.
