Quest-Related Events

Before the quest, he will be waiting by the fountain:

"I'm afraid you'll have to pardon me. I'm here on royal business."

When you first approach him, he will say:

"There you are! I've been looking for you."

He will have an important message for you:

"You! There you are! The scholar Zohreh said I might find you here.
You must make great haste. Prince Azah is in need of your assistance."

Where is the prince?

"He is at the shipyards town of Tava's Blessing. The Withered Hand is there and he needs you to come as soon as possible.
The scholar Zohreh said something about that being the birthplace of one of the Ansei, whatever that means."

I'll go find the prince right away.

"Oh, and Scholar Zhoreh wants her apprentice Shiri to return to Bergama right away.
She wants you to speak to Captain Rawan and ask him to order Shiri to return, whether the girl wants to or not."

I'll speak to Captain Rawan as well then.

After agreeing to travel to Tava's Blessing, he will tell you more about the town.

"Tava's Blessing is where the royal navy has its shipyards. You must not let the town fall to the Withered Hand.
Beware of the shifting sands, wayfarer. I hope Rupta [sic] guides you quickly to the prince's side."

What makes the shipyards important?

"The ships being built at the Tava's Blessing shipyards are critical for the Covenant war effort.
I do not think the Withered Hand would have use for the ships, but I fear they might simply destroy them. That would be very bad for the Covenant."
