Upon speaking with the othmir chief, Dampion, it came to a surprise to him that Nipik had passed away. But what truly upset him was the fact that he was not informed sooner by one of his clan. It is obvious the two camps are becoming divided. He had me speak with the high shaman, Lien, who agreed something must be done. I gathered rare components for her from all over the Eastern Wastes. She then performed a ritual and opened a spiritual gateway that should directly connect Fina's Retreat to Nipik's Haven. However, the connection is not complete. There is more to do yet.
