I am sensing that there's a particularly powerful mutation occurring in front of the Holy King's Tomb.
Hurry and warn the people stationed on the coast!
This may be payback for liberating the dragon heirs.
The mutated energy appears to be resonating with something else further south.
It appears to be the bandits you mentioned!
The people on the coast seem to be well-versed in magic,
so give these things to them. Perhaps they'll have a way of responding, so get going!
