Dialogue
Ah... Adventurer, the savior of Calpheon...
You seem surprised that I know who you are. I happen to have very good sources.
Information is an invaluable commodity to merchants such as myself.
I hope you don't mind the liberties I took to learn more about you.
Ha! I see you're interested in Mevo Muranan and Hakan Derk NPC Knowledge.
It doesn't come as a surprise that Hakan Derk would find Mevo suspicious.
What those two don't realize is that the events that occurred at the Lava Cave
have nothing to do with the blacksmiths of Mediah.
The dark energy found after the explosion was
fundamentally different from the energy found in Black Crystals.
The energy found in the cave was more similar to
the energy that was present during the Three Days of Darkness.
The Three Days of Darkness was filled with terrors
that still give me nightmares to this day.
That Witch you seem to be looking for was largely responsible for it.
Ah! Forgive my incessant blabbering.
Nothing more than the dusty memories of a foolish old man.
You would find it best to ignore the squabble between the two blacksmiths.
So you tell me you're looking for the Witch?
Well... I only know as much as I've already told you.
Unfortunately, The Three Days of Darkness was an event the people here chose to forget.
You will be hard-pressed to find anyone willing to speak about the Witch you are pursuing.
Is there something else I can do for you?
Perhaps some silver for resolving our troubles at the furnace?
Or... perhaps your interests lie in the pursuit of justice or some higher ideal you wish to live up to.
Take a look around Altinova and tell me if there's anything you want.
A true merchant always pays their dues.

Dialogue (Alt)
Go to Lucy Benkum once you've finished looking around.
I'll see to it that you find a small gift waiting for you before you arrive.
