Ashura: A rune stone, huh? Mind if I take a look?
Ashura: ... This... I recognize this.
Ashura: This is the shell of an Umbraan explosive.
Ashura: As I'm sure you've learned, magic is highly regulated in the Palian Republic. Not so much in Umbraa.
Ashura: While the Republic Army had strength in numbers, Umbraa is full of caves... which made magical explosives an effective tactic against us.
Ashura: Thank you for bringing this to me. I don't think the Elderwood ever fully recovered from the War, but cleaning it up is the first step.
Ashura: If you don't mind, I'll be taking that from you. Don't think it's dangerous anymore, but I have an idea on how we can move forward.
Ashura has revealed that the object you found is an old Umbraan grenade casing. He has an idea for what to do about it.
Ashura: Ah, good to see you're interested in what I've come up with.
Ashura: You know, it weighs on me a little every day. No matter how deeply buried, we still dig up terrible pieces of the past.
Ashura: But maybe the solution isn't to bury them deeper.
Ashura: Instead, what if we changed them? Repurposed them for something good?
