Summary

The historian Delainy has lost an import relic (a cloak) and wishes to have it returned to her. She is afraid of the beasts outside the walls of the village.

Walk-through

Delainy has quite an extensive dialogue and reacts differently depending on your tone towards her. You can show interest, but don't be too formal. You may not have the answers available that you need - the dialogue has many reaction checks. When navigating the dialogue correctly and with enough reaction – you will get the task.

The polite way is the only way to question the historian about the island, it's inhabitants and themselves. It opens up the follow up quest:

Delainy's Task

I have met the village historian, a woman by the name of Delainy. She seemed rather nice, actually. I agreed to help her with a small problem she is having. It seems that an important relic of her village, a cloak, blew away from the chieftain's hut during a recent storm. It is probably outside the village walls, so I shall have to watch out for the "beasts" that the locals keep mentioning. Perhaps I should ask Delainy to tell me more about her people when I get back... I'm sure she wouldn't mind.

A more "pressed for time" avenue, that does not allow you to question the historian:

I have met the village historian, a woman by the name of Delainy. I found her company tedious, but I have agreed to help her with a small problem she is having. It seems that an important relic of her village, a cloak, blew away from the chieftain's hut during a recent storm. It is probably outside the village walls, so I shall have to watch out for the "beasts" that the locals keep mentioning.

The Holy Cloak found its way to Dradeel and he stored it in a chest in his cabin.

Return the cloak and if you have the option proceed with the follow up.
