My grandmother, Elda, was a hearthkeeper. Long ago, when the cave fairies lived in the deep halls, a hearthkeeper kept the fires and remembered the names of everyone who had passed on.
When the others left the deep halls, she stayed behind. I was very small. She never came back up, and no one would tell me why.
All I have is this Hearthkeeper's Journal. But it's written in the old script, and no one has taught it since we moved. I can't read a single word.
Would you take it to him? It's a long way down, so please be careful.

I understand. It's a long way down. I'll keep the journal safe until you're ready.

NPC for this step: Daniel the Scholar .

A journal written in the old hearthkeeper script? I haven't seen one of these in years! May I?
...This belonged to Elda? I remember the name. The hearthkeepers wrote in this script so their records would outlast them.
Most of it is a list of names: the fairies she laid to rest in the old tomb, one name for every winter. But the last pages describe the Lantern Rite.

You said you had a journal for me? I don't see it with you. If it's lost, Tamya may know what to do.

Branch 2

You lost the journal?! ...Oh. Wait. My grandmother kept a copy. Hearthkeepers always kept two.
Here. Please take it to Daniel the Scholar.
